This Friday, October 26th you can find me at the annual Fencesitter's Costume Ball.
It's an annual bisexual dance party and costume gala, but you need not
be bisexual to attend or enjoy, of course! I myself am only
bi-turntable, but they're still letting me DJ. :)

Liquid Latex fashion show and a special appearance by the infamous Ouchy
the Clown! (check out his site for info on Ouchy!)
