Here comes Captain Cupcake! …and other Humboldt sights.
A trip up the coast to eat fish yields some sights from the Seascape Restaurant in Trinidad, California’s smallest incorporated city with a population of about 300. The tiny town hosts the Trinidad to Clam Beach Run in February and the Fish Festival in June. It is also home to Humboldt State University’s Fred Telonicher Marine Laboratory. Humboldt County has six other incorporated cities, about 60 unincorporated communities, and about 75 ghost towns…from Acorn to Wilder.

Pink Saturday Shootings in the Castro. One dead, two wounded.
Police secure the crime scene at Castro and Market Saturday night
On the eve of San Francisco’s annual Gay Pride parade and celebration, a young man was shot and killed. Another man and a woman were wounded. The suspect is in custody and the weapon has been recovered. The victim, Stephen Powell, and the suspect are both 19 years old.
In recent years, the Halloween celebration in the Castro has been plagued by “bridge and tunnel” violence, including some fatal incidents instigated by straight youths who use the masked occasion to settle beefs imported from the ‘burbs. It is not known at this time whether this incident was gang-related, gay drama related, a bashing…or what.
In other news, former Mr. SF Leather Ray Tilton reports via Facebook that he was roughed up by four unknown assailants outside of the 440 Club, site of the former Daddy’s bar. He is shaken and sore, but otherwise alright.
Local news and KPIX video is available at the CBS news channel 5 website.

Surveillance at Kansas Kum & Go
The proprietors of convenience stores are not the only ones interested in pointing cameras at their customers. A quick stop for gas, snacks and corn-fed, slushie-finished boy-shooting on the way out west. May, 2010.
Don’t Ask: Camping Soldiers are all a Gaga in Afghanistan
Taking a break from the horrors of war, these US soldiers camp it up to Lady Gaga’s hit Telephone. They don’t ask and don’t tell. But they do keep camping and dancing the swiveling hips. Thanks to Joe Jervis of Joe My God for this bit of strange fabulosity.

The PBS documentary series Frontline has produced an investigative piece on the ancient Afghan practice of Bacha Bazi, translated as “boy play.” Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi reports in The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan. Watch the full 53 minute program on-line at PBS. Ghaith Abdul-Ahad also reported on the apparently growing phenomena in September of last year in the UK’s Guardian.
The extrordinary voice of Vitas Bumac – sexiest Russian since Nureyev.
Singer and composer Vitaliy Vladasovich Grachyov, known as Vitas, was born in the Ukraine in 1979. In 2002, he performed his Philosophy of Miracle at the Kremlin, becoming the youngest person to ever perform at the State Palace. Vitas, who designs his own costumes and staging, presented his fashion line, Autumn Dreams, later that year. Vitas’ performances easily move between and combine opera, synth-pop and rock genres. With hooded orchestras, hybrid processions and sartorial excess, his performances are underwritten with mystery, ritual and an erotic charge that explodes regularly into a spine-chilling male soprano that has little to do with the grating tones of typical falsetto. More here and here.
Sign of spring in SoIL: “Fleas & ticks are here be ready!”

Southern Illinois. SoIL. So Ill it’s practically Kentucky. Weather in the 80s has brought out both blossoms and bloodsuckers. Humidity is rising in the Mississippi flyway. Pink buds, strange signs and an impending exodus…we’re going going back back to Cali Cali. Thirty days and counting.
