i <3 montreal

I'm also a big fan of New Orleans. Like, a lot.


This short doc explains (to straight people) what the whole bounce thing is about and how Big Freedia fits into the mix. And guess what? Big Freedia is coming to Pop Montreal! Check this space for more coverage of the festival, along with interview (fingers crossed) with Carol Pope. 

ALSO. ce soir. SO-Called plays the Montreal Jewish Music Festival at Sala Rossa. Check it.

Salad, Pride, and the Realest L Word

dayum! It's sunny, it's cloudy, it's BANANAS hurr. So in keeping with the theme of chaos, here are some things i've been thinking about lately.

Primavera Quinoa Salad. It's fucking delicious! Also, lesbians sure love a one-pot meal.

Capital Pride. Dudes, Ottawa is partying it up for Pride. There are magic tricks, auction/dating, movie nights, the rare beast that is the DYKE MARCH, and best of all—the parties end at 9:30! Time enough to get yr full 10.5 hours of sleep for your govrnmnt day job!

The Real L Word. Earn yr red wings! No, don't though. But seriously, this is a reality show and those who read me know how much i love a good gay reality programme. 


Mae Moore. She's old school 90s pop! And she's back. I wrote her and she wrote me back. I think I am her favrit just sayin.
 
Dan Savage. You've heard of the podcast, and you probably love it/hate it. You may disagree with his views on the gay gymbody, monogamy, homos, etc. But You can't argue that the man makes for a good listen. He recently went on a live taping of This American Life and told, LIKE THE MOST TOUCHING STORY about his mom's passing. You gotta listen, and the rest of the podcast is good too.

Montreal Roller Derby Bootcamp off to a bang! and a wham!

Jessy's an internet friend of mine, someone I've known since we started following each other on Twitter last year, (follow me @linamariepony). Both avid Derby fans (and homos!) I got some skates, but Jessy is the one who made it to the Bootcamp in the end. I had a time constraint but I am going to learn how to skate first, also. Anyway, Jessy's got a derby n00b blog! If you've ever wanted to get the inside on what REALLY goes on at Bootcamp, check her blog. It's painfully detailed, but I like that.
