Golden Girls Christmas 2012

I joined PeeDee and some of his friends Saturday night to see my favorite queens in their fabulously successful Golden Girls: The Christmas Episodes show.  I am so happy for them that after so many years, this has become one of the must-do holiday traditions in San Francisco. hey have grown enormously from the tiny little black crate of a stage, to the small art space in the Mission, to now playing sold-out crowds at the Victoria Theater, and making very paper and blog's list of best SF holiday events.

It's always fun, and I am impressed that they are able to keep the material fresh and punch it up from year to year. Cheers and bravas to friends Pollo, Matthew, Heklina and Cookie Dough! I totally felt the love!

And my theater company was good too—

As were the surprise guest stars: Sister Roma on stage and Mutha Trucka a few rows in front of us.

It's odd how at home I feel in SF when drag queens call my name from a stage. It's like a big glittery hug with a little booze! We all need one of those from time to time.

While I already hold the title of The Cool Uncle with the kids back home, I think I might be able to step it up a notch with glittery, boozy hugs. Interpretations of "Fairy Godfather" and all of that. All the other kids will be jealous. Or they should be.


Update:
I forgot—if it's your birthday, you get a special treat from Blanche.
