The Sun Is Shining For The First Time In Forever; We're Gay! Fagz Club Spring 2010

It means that you're not hyper-obsessed with dance/electronic music. I only recognized 5 or 6 of them.

Yeah, none familiar here

/rockist

I like dance/electronic music a lot and have the same issue. But I have heard Drew (and his partner) DJ before. :D

Dr3w will you DJ my next party?
Dr3w will you DJ an exclusive transcontinental video-streamed GAYLXtravaganza?

How about my wedding-not-wedding? ;)

ok. i get overwhelmed simetimes at just how much music i have absolutely zero knowledge of. which is usually good (more to discover) but sometimes makes me feel woefully underexposed ("why does everyone seem to know about this shit except me").

i don't know any of those songs except for "somebody else's guy." i don't like feel bad about it, but if any of them are like "somebody else's guy," you should probably let me know because that's one of my favorite songs of all time

The Armand track is pretty hysterical. Also some of the gayest sounds ever recorded.

not that i've heard everything in that set but i'd wager that the sister sledge track is closest in sound/spirit to jocelyn, surm

yeah, "Thinking of You" was a huge Sister Sledge hit in the UK and is kind of a "deep cut" for Americans, it got sampled by lots of people (Meat Beat Manifesto used it best in "Re-Animator"). It makes me really happy everytime I hear it, without fail.

"I'm thinking of you, and the things you do / that make me love you, now I'm livin' in Ecstasy"

the person I wish was more well known is Jay Karan- he makes vogue beats and chants for drag balls, he's a legendary ball scene figure and his tracks like "Who's In Charge of the Girls?" and "I Declare War" and "Bitch You'll Gag" are the dictionary definition of *fierce cunty dramatic ovah*

wait...this is that absolutely insane track you played in seattle at the sunset tavern that mackro & I tracked down but I subsequently forgot about, isn't it?

yeah, his tracks are hard to find but I think "I Don't Like That Bitch (I Don't See her)" is on iMeem or something.

imeem doesn't exist anymore

sucks

only found a short (one minute) track on soulseek but that's been enuf to interest me in finding more

"who's in charge" is on youtube also

BACK. tho this week is crazy, don't ask me about it.

notes:
- A&F, A&E, Gap, Hollister, etc: = you are boring. sorry guys.

- i wear briefs. gave all my boxers to goodwill a while back.

- drew, that setlist is great...so funny, i actually have made some of those same transitions before (like "Homoerotic" into "Mrs. Bojangels"). i miss m4rk brown, please tell him to get his ass out to california asap.

- my friend wh!t is moving out here!! hella excited about that. you'd understand if you saw him.

so NY, Saturday w/ elmo?

Steve, I plan to make Julius' around 9:15 tom'w til I get tired. (I wouldn't worry about 'dressing,' that's just Next magazine BS.)

oops, make that 9:45

oh that's right, it's tonight!! OK then, I'll head over around 10 or so.

SATURDAY: What time should we meet, and where? Julius was nice last time, should we do that again?

I don't know what it's like on a Sat night. There's no new-wave night @Metrop, tho, so defer to elmo? Is he staying in Bklyn?

Woke up for good about 5:15 this morning, so I'll only be drinking til maybe 11:30 tonight.

i'll be staying in bklyn on sat night, in wburg i think? i don't know the bars but would like to be in a place where talking / seating is possible, at least to start.

Best options might be either Metro or Nowhere (in Manh off the L) then

Yeah, the Metrop back patio will be open but it's supposed to be coolish (better than Friday though).

I've never been to Nowhere but I've been meaning to! Is that tabley/seaty though?

i'm down for wherever! really, i trust the wisdom of the gaylx crowd

I don't remember any big tables @ Nowhere, just small ones and some kinda rickety couches in the back?

This Saturday, March 27th BUTT will be participating in the 2nd annual Rainbow Book Fair in New York City at CUNY (365 5th Avenue at 34th St) from 11 – 5:30PM. We’ll be selling back issues of BUTT to help fill in your collection, along with the remaining stock of the BUTT 2010 Calendar at a discounted rate. We’ll also be conducting ONE QUESTION INTERVIEWS as a special bonus to encourage our fans and readers to come out and support the fair and all the other zines and booksellers in attendance. Questions from previous BUTT interviews will be placed in a bowl at random, and anyone who comes by will get the chance to pick a question at random and answer it, with the results appearing here on the blog. So if you’ve always wanted to be interviewed for the BUTT Blog, clear your calendar for Saturday, and we’ll see you at the fair. THE FAIR IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!

might check this out if i feel like making the trip to midtown

Baby got back BUTT.

elmo, I don't remember if you're a carnivore, but if ian wants to I recommend the post-11pm $3 pork sandwiches at Fette Sau in W'burg. (maybe dr & Steve wd be down for this?)

no JC Mitchell last night @Mattachine, but Steve got to hug a Scottish celeb.

(ie there are empty tables and beer at Fette Sau, and it's 5 mins from Metropolitan)

ummm yes to pork sandwich

I would but I am a crazy vegan :( no pork for me (oh, shush). JC Mitchell did show up eventually; we stayed til 1. and YES OMG I HUGGED 4L4N CUMM1NG!!!!

on a bus! haven't been to ny on my own in a few years.

as for plans tomorrow night, what time are we thinking? i'm really flying by the seat of my jeans this trip so i can make whatever time work, probly.

I would've just asked him to do his flirty lines from Eyes Wide Shut.

I had to leave around the time the throng was blocking my view of a hot longhaired Latino Mark Bolan/Johnny Depp wannabe in aviator shades. xp

I dunno, I'm meeting a friend in Park Slope for drinks at 6, so anytime after is OK for me.

i may drop in somewhat later than originally anticipated since this thesis isn't going to write itself, unfortunately

my appearance may also be somewhat brief (another friend is having bday drinks nearby)

ok. shall i fbook msg ppl with my phone # then?

maybe, and find out what part of Brooklyn you're staying in! and figure where we're meeting etc.

(I can't do the mobile phone Let's Plan 5 Minutes In Advance thing)

pretty sure i'll be in wburg but won't know address until later.

I'm leaving in an hour or two to go to that BUTT thing. So we're doing metrop, right? What time's best for err'one?

ok so i'm right near the graham ave L so i am right nearby, yes? depending on when the good doctor m. is available, shall we say -- 8? 8.30? later?

yeah, it should be 3 blocks or so.

is 8:30 at Metrop good, or too early? donna rouge?

I send my love and scorn. Have fun y'all!

8:30ish should be fine, may get there a bit later

all this and j0n w1ll14ms too!

Fette Sau had run out of pork when I got there.

That was a total blast! I ended up getting home at like 8:30 this morning

FS pork belly and i would make a pretty handsome couple

i went a liiiiiiittle bit overboard after my departure (no thanks to the free cans of PBR at subway bar) but it was mostly worth it

great meeting you elmo! (and j0n if you read this)

These are for you + elms:
