Early morning lust…
I found this graffiti on the side of my building’s call box this morning. Booty call? Not exactly street art, but perhaps something close, if viewed in the right light. I suppose this is one way of giving voice to your desires, though perhaps not the most effective…

Seen at Stanford: International Yarn Bombing Day?
The Burghers of Calais on the Stanford Main Quad are sporting knitted rainbow leg warmers and scarves today. File this one under strange holidays.

A Place to hang your…what?
The Green Man sprouts wood in an urban setting. This phallic tree provides a good impromptu paddle hook. You never know when or where you might need such a thing. This tree grows outside Rocco’s Cafe on Folsom Street between 8th and 9th in San Francisco. Highly recommended. The cafe and the tree.

A Sustainable Queer Planet? 14th Annual National Queer Arts Fest opens in SF
Philip Huang performs June 9 & 10 at Eros
We have made it this far. What next? How can we keep what we have created and protect it for the generations coming up? The theme of this year’s National Queer Arts Festival is A Sustainable Queer Planet. Presented by The Queer Cultural Center, the festival includes 22 venues and runs for a month. An array of performers, poets, writers, visual artists, musicians, comedians and dancers work through diverse notions of sustainability. Organizations, collaborations, friendships, political movements, publications, networks, connectivity, intentional communities, Queer families, and various ecological and economic interventions are all well represented in this month-long festival. High Holy Homo Days are upon us!
Watch this space for notices and commentaries on select individual programs. Philip Huang, pictured above, performs in Formerly Known As: Performances by Male and Trans Sex Workers. This two-day program, hosted by Kirk Read, takes place at The Center for Sex and Culture, and features a different line-up each night. It includes writers, performance artists, comedians and a slideshow of visual work. For a complete listing of festival offerings, visit The Queer Cultural Center’s site here.
