That Guy

If you’re a fan of teevee, then you no doubt have seen the splendiferous train-wreckiness that is RuPaul’s Drag Race. Well, the train is pulling into the station with the arrival of a few of your favorite queens.Raven will land upon Stardust at Berlin on Thursday, April 1, joined by Stinky Pinky, Lady Miss Navy Pier (of ChancesDances fame) and special guest host Omicah. Then on Saturday, April 3, catch Ongina at Spin for two performances and special guest Jade. Have you seen Jade as a boy? Caliente, mother fucker!

Gays Got Talent is finally over. I was a bit “meh” on the outcome, but I had fun and drank a few, so I ain’t gonna bitch. Plus, I am excited about Windy City Gay Idol, which begins Thursday, April 8 at The Glenwood. God bless The Glenwood, the only gay bar in Chicago within reasonable stumbling distance of my front door. Catch me in full judgey pants at The Glenwood and throughout the competition. Check out the ad on page 11 for the full schedule.

Another one to catch is Flesh Hungry Dog Show’s 5th anniversary at Jackhammer on Friday, April 2. Local electro-pop darlings Brilliant Pebbles share the stage with the one and only The Joans in what promises to be a blockbuster show. I can feel my block busting as we speak. I need a Tylenol.

Let’s hear it for Devon, this year’s leather makeover-ee from Touché’s “Leather Eye For the Preppy Guy” contest. We raised some much-needed funds for Groceryland. See page 30 and our Facebook page for a softer side of Devon!
