It’s here. Mr. Strangeways is still recovering from THURSDAY!
I need to slave over posts about the Translations Film Festival, which starts next week; the Seattle International Film Festival, which just released their line up to the press (there’s 26 lgbtq films this year!); Pride event info is starting to emerge; The Social and EVO are opening in the next couple weeks; RPDR had a BIG surprise at the Reunion taping; and I have THREE theater reviews to write.
Lordy.
Here are some options for today…check out the Weekend Calendar here, and the Main Calendar, there.
Damn Yankees @ 5th Avenue. A bewitching seductress and Satan himself test how far Joe will go so his beloved baseball team can win the pennant.
