Re: I'm from normal parents (The Pyramid Club Topic)
Hi! I'm looking for reminiscences about my late sister, Ann Craig, a Pyramid Club emcee/performer from that great '80s era. I think she also performed at Danceteria and other venues. Would anyone have any stories/images/video of her? (I have access to broadband and can download large files.) I'd love to know more about her performances from those years -- I only got to attend a couple of wonderful, wild Pyramid events. (I particularly remember one Father's Day night when our Dad was the...

Re: I'm from normal parents (The Pyramid Club Topic)
Dear friends, I am so delighted and moved to be hearing from you about my sister, Ann Craig! I'm scanning some photos from our mother's archives to share with you --- and perhaps shake loose more memories! I'll put them up before the week's out. Meantime, I just heard from Eleanor -- our mom, the author of "The Moon is Broken," her memoir about Annie (it's on Amazon) -- that someone took movies/video of some of Ann's peroformances at La Mama. She was doing skits that had originated at the...

Re: Politically Incorrect VI
The bizarre thing about the whole case is that it WAS entrapment. Craig tapped his foot for crying out loud, hardly an action that threatens society. Another victim-less crime for the police to waste taxpayer money on while real crimes are being perpetrated. To make matters worse, this supposed "sting" operation, featuring cute trade as bait, happened at an airport of all places, a setting where surely more serious security issues abound. It's been depressing to watch talk show hosts...

Re: Politically Incorrect VI
I agree Lex but the really outrageous thing is why gay men have sex in public bathrooms in the first place. The heterosexual world condemed gay sex for so long and made it illegal, thereby driving gay men into the closet and into the dark backrooms and secret places where we could meet. There were no gay church socials or dating services or public community meetings where gay people could meet and socialize like the straight world around them. We were doomed to cruise street corners and...

Re: Politically Incorrect VI
I agree with Lex... even if Larry Craig is not gay and was entrapped, this is a beautiful karmic pay-back for his attacks on gay people and their rights all these years. I kind of hope he ISN'T gay. That will make his downfall all the more torturous! And no Bobby, even if there seems to be acceptance, there isn't. You can't legislate intelligence. Acceptance and open-mindedness does not come automatically with the human genes. A woman where I work, apparently hip and young, the other day...
