Tegan + Sara

I was in Gastown recently visiting my friend, Jill, at work when we decdided to head out and get a bite to eat. We stopped at a little cafe around the corner from her office and when we walked through the door, Jill immediately recognized one of her favorite artists sitting at the window chillin' with a cup of joe. It was either Tegan or Sara from the band Tegan + Sara. She wasn't sure which one so we introduced ourselves.

Now, even though I'm a lezzy, I have to admit, I only know one song of theirs: a short tune from the L Word soundtrack "Love Type Thing." I know, bad lesbian, bad.

Anyhoodle, I snapped a photo because I knew you'd all dig it. And now I'm going to go download some Tegan + Sara for my iPod.

Lady Gaga & Beyonce: Telephone

If you haven't seen this yet, it's worth watching. Hot! You've been a very bad girl Gaga! This is about the gayest thing I've seen in a long time. Parts of it made me laugh out loud. And of course, I love the Thelma & Louise reference at the end. What do you think?

This is a Gay Bar

A few weeks ago I was visiting Seattle and we were wandering around Capitol Hill looking for a place to have a beer.

Although RPlace was closed, we did appreciate the sign on the door. I wonder if it really keeps the homophobes, racists, bigots and assholes out. What do you think?

Ten-Year Old Takes a Stand

Maybe you saw this. It aired back in November. I just learned of it because it won a GLAAD media award. This ten year old boy is so well spoken about why he won't stand to say the pledge of allegiance. And he's from Alabama. There is hope.

Ashleigh Flynn - Great Interview on NPR

One of our favorite queer Americana/folk artists, Ashleigh Flynn, was recently featured on NPR! You can hear her interview HERE.

Also, check out her new video for Knock On Wood.

Way to go Ash!!

Street Interview Goes Sideways

First off, this video is NOT kid-friendly, but captures a hilariously insane event in Toronto (that, by the looks of it, was filmed years ago, but is still as priceless).

I'm working on a project right now where I have to "go to the streets" and ask people questions on camera.

I'm hoping this doesn't happen to me this weekend as I cruise Davie looking for people willing to go on camera. If it happens, I sure hope she's a hot femme and not... well, watch for yourself.
