Potpourri Of Pearls - Sochi 2014

From the download site:

Sochi (sô′chĭ) n. A delightful anus v. To do butt sex With our new release, SOCHI, we infiltrate internationally sanctioned homophobia by redefining the very site of the 2014 Olympics. Sochi is no longer the location of the 2014 Olympics; it is a gay club banger about doing it in the butt. Humorous, sexy and..... dangerous?

Featuring the legendary Justin Bond. Not office friendly.

UPDATE: Dan Savage weighs in. "Someone on Twitter suggested that Sochi might be Russian for santorum. I think Potpourri of Pearls has a better idea."

LUSTRE at P.S. 122

Last night Little David and I attended Lustre: A Midwinter Trans-Fest at P.S. 122, starring Tony nominee Justin Bond. I wasn't sure what to expect, having seen Bond in many strangely diverse venues (on Broadway, at The Cock, etc). The show turned out to be an interesting melange of spoken word, performance art, dance, and cabaret as Bond and a cast of gender-variants took us on a trans-journey that included references to Joan Didion (really), Jean Genet, Kate Bornstein, and Ethyl Eichelberger. I particularly enjoyed the performance of pianist Our Lady J, who read with me at a recent show at Rapture.

Debbie Harry was seated a few feet away from us and at the end of the show I think I showed remarkable restraint by merely nodding politely as she exited past us. Out on the sidewalk, I waited for a cab a few feet away from Ms. Harry and her party and wondered if she could hear Feel The Spin, which I'd hastily cued up on my iPod.

Lustre continues through this weekend. Get tickets here. If you've never seen Justin Bond perform, you are denying yourself something quite magical.
