Queer Arty Party

Art exists not as a luxury but a necessity and tool for revolutionary re-envisioning. At least that's what Audre Lorde said, "[Poetry] forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action."

IOW, queermos, poetry is the way we exist.

So it should come as no surprise that in the queerest of places, poetry and art thrive. One of those places is hidden in the hidey hole behind Austin's poopy horse stables, the leather n' bear bar The Chain Drive. For two bucks you can hop over the blue and black rainbow tonight, 8-11pm as the Drive hosts Three Piece, a collaboration of austin-area queer artists and performers – Kevin Parks Hauser (of Chainbow fame), Heyd Fontenot (whose paintings of stubby nudes are charming and sexy) and even that banged up Bradford (Sissy Butch) will be showing their… um… "work". Performance by Little Stolen Moments will be sure to please, and the work of several as of yet undiscovered art trezures!

You should probably go to the Facebook event page and RSVP. Already you can cruise who's going to be there... Nakia Reynoso!
