Whatever!

(Item for “Whatever!” column published in Lavender Magazine, Issue #177, March 8, 2002)

’Twas the night before Valentine’s, and there was something for nearly everyone at House of Vagabondage’s “Erotogenic v.3” party at First Avenue. Among the thoroughly mixed and gloriously twisted crowd in attendance, traditional distinctions of gay/lesbian/bi/trans/cross-dresser/het/kink seemed to lose all meaning and relevance. Somebody must sit us down and explain the whole “Goth” thing, though. Hot dungeon scenes were plentiful. Bonus points: At least in the VIP Room, aka the dungeon, the evening’s sound designers kept the music’s volume level loud enough to be interesting but low enough to be manageable. Now if they could just do something about the smoke.
