I know, I know. One conference isn’t even here yet, and I’m already pimping and shilling for another one. And right now, summer is looking mighty fine.

Today, we received news of the True Colors Tour, Cyndi Lauper’s fabulouso gayolicious pride rave-up and its dates and line-up. Like last year, the only Texas dates are Dallas and Houston (Boo. Perhaps a writing campaign is in order?)

The most exciting news for me is the co-lead slot going to the B-52s. I’ve only heard a few cuts from their new disc, Funplex, but they are as slap-your-mama and shut-yo-mouth swishy as ever.
