While I’m not much of a leather and chaps kind of guy, I came along to the festival for the sheer absurdity. Tickets were $15, despite all the corporate sponsorship, but luckily I got in free on account of Rudy’s DJing. It was highly entertaining, in its own embarrassing way, and surreal, to say the least.
I caught some footage of obnoxious stilt dancers, hairy asses, uncouth boot cleanings, and a marvelous dancer whom Bob and I have fondly dubbed “Grandpa Hands”. Enjoy! :)
God, as if their parents weren’t upset enough. Not only did they have to come out to them as gay, they had to come out as GAY LEATHER STILT DANCERS. “Mom, you are never going to have grandkids. And also I love to dance with my feet strapped to sticks! Wearing chaps!” I shed a tear.
Jesus, is Amy Winehouse just TAKING SHIT OVER out of NOWHERE or WHAT?

Well, their parents never knew about their leather stilt dancing… until now.
Amy Winehouse is taking shit over from being fuckin’ rad, that’s where.

i leave LA for one day and this is what happens to my boyfriend?
It’s like that damn movie “Idle Hands”. . . except 50 years later and with osteoporosis.
What an experience, though! I actually got asked the other day if I was going to attend the Black Party here in NYC.

Joey - That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for providing us with such an excellent dance number :D
Jeff - I think a Jeff v. Sean DeLear death match is in order. I’ll take pictures ;)
Paddy - Imagine being fisted by Grandpa Hands. That should fuel your nightmares for a while :P Also, what a silly question… of course you’re going to the Black Party, right?
