Keep Austin Queer

Gay Bi Gay Gay Invades YR Shit

The smartest queers save a little bit of energy during the week of credential-copping we know as South By South West, for the ridiculosity of Gay Bi Gay Gay. Teeming hoardes of dirty, filthy, fucking great-looking queers who come together to find a radically laissez-faire expression of our queer power and creativity. Want the deets? See below...

Andy's Tops & Bottoms

Dandy Unicorn, ze whinnies like the wind. Sometimes hir whinnies sound like cries of unadulterated pleasure ("Wins") and sometimes they sound like paincries ("Nays"). But Dandy isn't the only one who can Win-nay, I can too. And these are the sweet, dark win-nays I whispered into Dandy's earholes this year. Here are my Top Eleven "WIN-NAY"s. Grody.

Sittin' on Santa's Lap

Every year, the day after Thanksgiving, my mom put on Bing Crosby's Merry Christmas and began whipping our family's house into a magical holiday wonderland covered from top to bottom in decorations. I grew up loving Christmas and everything about it… Especially the gifts! Here are five things that I am wishing for this Christmas: Read More | Comment »

XBRMNT's Top 10 for the Week of Dec. 1

Oh I got stuffed for Thanksgiving! And dinner was good, too! ;-) Dandy and I stopped by Charlie's for a bite and a nuzzle before settling in at Ming's Cafe for a huge Thanksgiving spread by Fai and friends. I was still tasting the pumpkin pie on Monday night but managed to get out and spin some tunes at a brand new start time: 9pm. Here were my faves this week. Enjoy! Read More | Comment »

XBRMNT's Top 10 for the Week of Nov. 22

The holidays are here already. There's folks to see, hands to shake, necks to hug, and much digestion lies ahead. Heck, we even got Dandy Unicorn a special holiday feedbag filled with all the traditional fixins, because even unicorns like to slurp up some gravy! XBRMNT gives thanks for the music that helps keep us sane through the holiday family grind. Read More | Comment »

Gay Place Goes to Comic Con Austin

KISS posters, Star Wars action-figures, Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, I had them all. Heck, I even started collecting autographs from missionaries that would visit our little Southern Baptist church when I got my first Bible. Read More | Comment »

Big Beards, Big Booties, Big Fun

Austin fun purveyors, Transmission Entertainment, seem to have hit their stride with this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest. I was convinced that my paper-thin, media wristband, was going to melt off or tear, but it made it through the weekend just fine. Here are a few other notes in random order in case anyone is listening/cares: Read More | Comment »

XBRMNT's Top 10 for the Week of Nov. 2

Sure, the Halloween decorations were still up at Chain Drive as November reared its turkey-feathered head last night, but the fake cobwebs and glowing bats actually fit the scene there pretty well. Read More | Comment »

Gender:Queered

You may have heard of the Gender Police before. Those who go around, for example, referring to Austin's dear Leslie Cochran as "he-she"… or "shim"…, or perhaps on a greater scale, the ones who question Brangelina's willingness to encourage 4-year-old Shiloh's boyish appearance.

Gayly Fourthward!

Or as that line from The Boys in the Band goes, "Give me Librium or give me Meth!" We are conundrums, we gay Americans. And nothing like a national holiday to remind us of what we have and have not, when it comes to full citizenship and rights in this country we love so much. Read More | Comment »

Mind Your Ts & Qs!

So, last week I found myself in an awkward position. No! not that kind of awkward position (sadly). This Lil' Roo was lost in the middle of one of the most surreal experiences a queermo in Austin can ever have: Sitting in on a networking luncheon for the Austin Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

A Queer Renaissance in Austin?

One of my first visits to Austin was in October of 2005 when my film Life in a Box was screened in aGLIFF – the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival. (You might remember the fall of 2005. I was here for three or four days, and the afternoon temperature never got below 107 degrees. In the middle of October.) Read More | Comment »

Little Stolen Moments

I can't think of a more perfect name for Austin's own interpretive dance darlings, Little Stolen Moments. Except for perhaps this line from a Tweet from Lindsey, one of the trio: "Sappy sexy is our bread and butter." Oh, God, that's beautiful and so true. Read More | Comment »
