Lana Wachowski on why she didn't want to go on a talk show to discuss her gender change

"The tears of the host, whose sympathy underscores the inherent tragedy of my life as a transgendered person and this moment fulfilling the cathartic arc of rejection to acceptance without ever interrogating the pathology of a society that refuses to acknowledge the spectrum of gender in the exact same blind way they refuse to see a spectrum of race or sexuality."

from her speech after receiving the Visibility Award from Human Rights Campaign.

I hate that I've been neglecting blogging. I find that it's hard enough to keep one blog up, especially two. 

Anyway, I have really enjoyed working on the video posts for this new blog, you can find it here. 

Basically, I've been watching a lot of older horror/exploitation/genre films that I've been finding on amazon. They're very interesting and I wanted to help review these largely under reviewed/exposed films.

A typical Thursday night is not complete without a trip over to Stonewall for electric beatdown. Before going to beatdown a couple of years ago I never knew or heard of a genre of music called "dubstep". Not saying that the music in this video qualifies as such, but it's pretty much all I think about when I go back there.

The times we had a these places were so fantastic, but going back it's like looking into a world from the outside. Definitely a bittersweet feeling, but I'm glad we made the stop.

So last week was the big graduation blow out, and I went up Thursday night and staying until Saturday afternoon. It was a great time and I documented little pieces of the weekend to continue this "video diary project" I've been working on.

I won't be able to upload them all tonight, but I should be able to get a couple good ones.

Started the festivities with a final trip over to Eskimo Joe's for their $5 unlimited beer special.

Sake bomb race between Brad and Andy. Who will win? Of course, it wasn't planned as a race but definitely turned into one.
