Hello, Babes...
SO Sorry, I took a bit of a vacation from posting Events for awhile!
The Dog Days of summer are here and, I don't know about you, BUT I feel the itch to get
out and be with my community.
My summer, so far, has been filled with days of diligent work and private creative time.
I must say I'm missing the masses. Please come out and Play!
There are a variety of new events, I have a couple new acts and some revamped, too!
BUT Most seriously... Its summer! Its time to get out and savor the sweat... Many little Fun
and Fabulous shows need your support to continue happening! The economy is low, and
NYC in the summer is hard on all of us, so please come out and support local
entertainment so we can keep bringing it when you need a smile, some inspiration, or a
moment to take your mind off your worries!
Lord knows our shows are affordable!
I'm involved in a bunch of *Very Special* events to keep you coolly contented and amused
in the heat...Here is the rest of my July:

Unsubscribing from mailing lists I haven't read for over two years.

It replaces my old hobby of hitting "delete" over and over.

I am currently reading what appears to be a first edition copy of "Gone With the Wind" 

When I'm done, I'd like to fix up the cover that is about to fall off the spine.  Any idea how I go about doing this or finding a professional who can?

I made it safely to Connecticut, it took a while but I'm here. My flight to New York was pretty much the best I've ever had, I really like Virgin America. I suspect this will be a very productive week. I've almost finished the email part of 'gettor' that I've been hacking on. I refactored most of it to allow me to work with it offline. Useful. Hopefully I won't need to hack on it much after I deploy it.

Ok, finally joining. First name + last initial. See you there.

It's really sad that people who work for the US Passport agency do not understand the fundamental right to travel. I have been told at least five times that if I do not have enough pages in my passport, I will be denied exiting the US. Furthermore, I have been told that if there are no free appointments in the next n days, that's just too bad and I'll have to stay in the country.

Attempts to use their automated system were amazing. Every time I called, I would get kicked off the system and my appointment choices would become slimmer and slimmer when I called again. And again. And again. For hours. The entire system is totally broken. You have no way to reclaim your spot when the system hangs up and you have no recourse.

I was actually told that while it may seem bureaucratic - "these are the rules and we have to follow them" regardless of the situation. No, you cannot speak to a supervisor. No, you cannot have us help you directly. No, you need to use the automated system.

Do they seriously believe this nonsense? Are they really telling people that we (as US Citizens) have no constitutional right to travel freely? They actually tell people their their internal rules trump the Constitution (!) when directly asked about the right to leave the US. They also stated that if my passport is full (less than two empty pages according to more of their Kafkaesque rules ), I'll be denied re-entry into the USA. This is obviously illegal and complete nonsense.

Why is the concept of Freedom of movement unknown to these people?

I spent over three hours and fourteen calls to the US Passport agency before someone would transfer me to a supervisor. Finally, when it was clear that their automated system was broken for certain kinds of user input, they helped me to get an appointment in New York City where I might get extra pages before my scheduled flight. Or they may seize my passport because it might be too damaged and too full for them to let me leave with it.

Experiences like this make me feel a chill down my spine. Not only because of their completely daft understanding of my rights (and their own) but because it seems like foreshadowing in a very sad but slow nightmare.

All Around the Los Angeles area we go:

Next week is going to be pretty rock'n'roll!

Sunday I'll be doing my loving tribute to French Springtime at the Bordello.

Monday it's Tarantino Night at the Monday Night Tease at 3 Clubs where I'll be doing TWO different numbers celebrating the gory genius of the QT! See me take my turn as Gogo Yukari AND Vincent Vega! You should definitely buy your tickets in advance so contact me for details.

Thursday it's your monthly chance to shake your booty at the Burlesque-a-Go-Go!

Saturday I'm taking a road trip to San Bernadino for Stiletto 3.5: Strip'n'Sideshow

and Next Sunday I'm at the Bordello again dancing live with the Martini Kings!

Plus, don't forget Bump'n'Grind Bootcamp starts Saturday!
