GOTHIC CHEERLEADERS THROUGH TIME

My mighty gothic cheerleaders!

My friend Chris Christian pointed out that this week it’s been 20 years since we did this daytime sports goth event as part of the PDXINDGOTH bulletin board. Mike King made us SNEERLEADER t-shirts, the dudes played basketball, and I, despite having had my tonsils out the week before, led cheers like:

“DO it and DO it and DO IT FOR ROZZ”

and

“IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN.”

Anyway, sometimes a person just doesn’t ever change.

I was also really downing my post-surgical codeine syrup, which my doctor’s office was not happy about.

How Do You Know Virginia Jones?

It’s a party on Paragon! In these uncertain times, a service that sets up comics with interactive online shows has sprung up and offered me a spot, so here’s my profile on Paragon. They offer comedy sets, DJ dance parties, virtual drag shows, and a guy who’ll show you how to make pickles. It’s the brave new world of comedy! It’s a party on Paragon!
