WonderCon:
Hey! Look! It's Tom Servo!


And here's Brett being taken back to the mothership!


KinkySalon:
And later that day...


The next weekend I was sick, but Peachy J. Monkey made it to Jeff and Monique's Doomsday Ball. I hope he didn't do anything to embarrass me...



DON'T FORGET!
Free show Sunday Night!

The Chronicle gets nostalgic for the Mile High Club...me too.
Lisa...you did good.

"...Another told McDonald how he stood next to James Brown in Eli's bathroom."
I think James Brown is still in that bathroom...

"Tuesday nights were reserved for SpeakEasily, a burlesque show that became one of the club's most popular attractions."
Oakland was good to us! Long live Oakland!

From your blog to mine:
Internebbish and Roky caught on film at SpeakEasily. Make sure you mouse over the g-string.

Saturday’s Bawdy Island Hullabaloo show at Thee Parkside was epic…does anyone have any photos from Saturday??? We’re all bruised up from trying to keep up with our own shtick that night, but what a great crowd. You know you’re at a good show when the audience starts taking their clothes off.
A big sloppy SpeakEasily thanks to everyone who came out to the Madrone Lounge Sunday. DJ Kurt Vile was the tops! Roky and Cherry danced on the bar! Eerie won a burlap bag! I do feel bad for those who were in the back and couldn’t see…but a home with a stage is in our future, I’m sure.
My friend Ralph asked if I felt the day-after-the-show let down on Monday, but really I was too wrung out to notice. Later that day Brett and I partook in some preventative depression therapy…shopping. Brett’s really good at shopping…a lot better than I am. I’m the husband holding the purse in the mall.

For Sailor Billy Fans:
Are you as up on Sailor Billy as you should be? Sailor Billy has authored a quiz on himself…good luck!

SpeakEasily in The SF WEEKLY!
Who knew! I guess we are pretty kitsch...

Oh, You Kid
Vintage kitsch onstage
SUN 3/6
You just gotta love a revue that claims to offer "Weimar perversions at rock-bottom Oakland prices," particularly when it pays a visit to your neck of the woods. The sad demise of the East Bay venue the Mile High Club has left "SpeakEasily" without a regular home for its slate of performances that pay tribute to the Jazz Age: guys strumming ukuleles, burlesque girls in rolled stockings, that sort of thing. But Oakland's loss is S.F.'s gain. Tonight "SpeakEasily" invades the Madrone Lounge with a neat lineup of gimcracks: dancing, prancing rent-boy Roky Roulette; the Indra's retro-Hollywood striptease and song (she does a great Dietrich); and the rentable attentions of the Meter Dancers, who'll spin you around the dance floor for a couple of bucks. Whoop it up at 9 p.m. at the Madrone, 500 Divisadero (at Fell), S.F. Admission is $4-6; call 241-0202 or visit www.audrawolfmann.net. -- Joyce Slaton
