It just might be the gayest event in the whole midwest.
On today’s show Jason Heidemann, the Gay & Lesbian editor for Time Out Chicago talks about Northalsted Market Days, the largest and gayest street festival in the Midwest.
Jason describes the month of June and all the Pride events surrounding it as Thanksgiving with your family which is fun but a time of reflection and thanks for all we’ve achieved.
But Northalsted Market Days is simply one giant gay party with no agenda except to have a good time. In many ways, Market Days is the party we all want to have after the Pride Parade is over but have nowhere to go and often have to work the next day.
Listen as we give you the inside scoop on what to see, what to do and who to do this weekend as over 200,000 people gather to hang out in the gorgeous Lakeview area and feast on street food, drink in public and enjoy the tinny sound of 80s has-been bands like Expose!
One perennial favorite of the street fair is the Steamworks booth which is more like a mini-mall featuring an eclectic mix of staff, porn stars and local residents playing twister for kitchsy prizes. I’m definitively not as limber as some of these famous adult actors, but it sure is fun to “lose” in this game, if you consider losing as lying under a pile of handsome men.
Some men like a challenge, I don’t.
Be sure to keep an eye out on our flickr photo gallery for pics of guys (and gals) kissing each other with joyful bliss. It’s always a hit with the online photo bloggers.
One thing thing that everyone loves to talk about to this day is the phallic, awkward pylons that anchor the Halsted Street area between Addison and Belmont as the official “gay” area of Chicago. When they were first erected, many people thought they were odd, ugly and way too gay, but over the years I’ve grown to like them a lot and embrace their quirky, rocket like presence looming over us like trees in Lord of the Rings.
If these pylons could talk!
By the way, kudos for Time Out Chicago for making their whole issue go gay. It looks fabulous, especially the cover of the handsome young blond man spraying us with his hose and cooling us from the summer heat.
We’re hoping to do interviews from the Mark Twain Hotel in San Francisco and plan on getting as many of the folks from Trannyshack on the show in person, talking about the queer legacy of San Francisco, Harvey Milk, the Coquettes and what it means to the rest of the world. But, we need your support to help make it happen. It’s just around the corner so please give a helping hand.
We’re trying to raise approximately $2820.00 in the next two weeks to cover the costs of the trip and repair our recording equipment to make it happen. Will you help?

On today’s show we’re having a blast with our good friends Michael Lehet and Tracy Tyler.
McCain’s is SO not “hot.” Although the Arizona Senator said he would never launch an attack ad during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign, McCain broke his promise and last week aired an anti-Obama ad criticizng the Illinois Senator as “too famous” to become president, comparing him to vapid celebutants Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
The only problem here is, both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton’s family are well known Republican party contributors, including an $80,000 contribution from the Hilton Clan last year to McCain’s campaign.
Fundraising rule #1- don’t insult your donors. Thank them.
When Grandpa Hilton got a word of it, he blew a fuse, and heads have been rolling down at the Republican party headquarters. And that my friends, is hot.
Montauk Monster! Have the Hamptons found it’s own “chupacabra?” Last week Gawker blog posted a weird photo of something resembling a hairless raccoon that washed up on the beach of the town know for being a playground for the wealthy and ridiculous.
Many are speculating it’s a sea turtle without its shell, an escaped government experiment, an alien or a fake. Still many are all excited speculating on what it is, even though the carcass itself is missing. Who knows even if this photo was taken in the Hamptons at all?
Remember the 44 lb. overweight cat that went missing a week ago? Many thought that it was curtains for Princess Chunk, the chubby but lovable cat that surprised everyone by disappearing from her home in New Jersey.
Well it turns out Princess Chunk was a dude all along, a cat named Powder, just like our loveable Tracy! A happy ending for P-Chunk, as he/she will now be living in a happy home, thanks to the media attention, our chubby tabby will be living with a new family. I can hear happy purrs already.
Michael Lehet has been writing lately on new technology on his blog and brought over the cool new Cinemizer. It’s exciting but a little hard on the eyes.
Described by the company as “your take-along personal video screen. In the future, you’ll be able to watch any movie stored on your iPod anywhere.” Today it’s just an annoying to use, funny looking gadget.
I’ll leave it to your colorful imaginations the possible uses of this new technology, but let’s just say it still a long way from a fully-functional Star Trek style holodeck.
Speaking of which, Sept. 1 is the last day of the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas, which we’re hoping to attend for the podcaster’s conference. What’s replacing it? Michael Jackson’s theater. Did we mention we need your help?
A burst of flavor in every byte- Feast of Fools.

I usually know who I am most of the time, but there are moments when I’m faced with choices that make me question not only my identity, but reality itself.
What would you do? A pizza restaurant in China has confused customers by using banana and peach signs on the mens and women’s bathroom doors. Officials are asking the restaurant to change it, since a study conducted by them reveals that over 60% of the customers have no idea which one is which.
But isn’t life like that? Sometimes you see clear signs of where to go, other times it’s more confusing. Once I saw an ear of corn and a turnip representing the genders on bathroom doors in a restaurant. If you’re ever confused, just pick a door and boldly go in. If someone inside yells at you, blame the faulty signage, not your own sense of gender fluidity.
Speaking of which, Tracy’s been having a wonderful summer, lounging by the pool in her suburban apartment complex trying to seduce the pool guy, who I think bares a striking resemblance to actor Ernest Borgnine. I took the liberty of photoshopping them together, don’t they make a nice couple?
Listen as Amercia’s favorite trannie shares the exciting details of her latest suburban romantic adventure, and we examine what is it that makes people who live in the suburbs so frisky? Is it the water or the fact that they are all so spread apart and spend a lot of their time alone in their cars? Are we just overgeneralizing things here?
Either way, we’re really excited by the possibility of going to San Francisco with Tracy Tyler and Las Vegas for the podcaster’s conference, but we need your help!
We need approximately $2820.00 in the next two weeks to cover the costs of the trip and repair our recording equipment to make it happen. Will you help?
We’ll be doing interviews from the Mark Twain Hotel in San Francisco and plan on getting as many of the folks from Trannyshack on the show in person, talking about the queer legacy of San Francisco, Harvey Milk, the Coquettes and what it means to the rest of the world.

“On a scale from one to ten, just HOW GAY are you?” Imagine hearing this question from your roommate’s father, only he happens to be a famous and physically intimidating wrestler.
On today’s show choreographer Glenn Packard- the gay roomate of Brook Hogan from the reality TV show Brooke Knows Best talks about being asked about his sexuality by her famous father, the wrestler Hulk Hogan.
In case you missed it, the Hulkster got national press last week for not only asking her daughter’s openly gay roommate about his sexuality on their reality tv show, but for also admitting that some of his wrestling friends are gay. I wonder if it was the Iron Sheik?
So what happened after the conversation? Did Glenn ask Hogan just how straight he was on a scale from one to ten?
Glenn’s a pretty well known choreographer in the pop music scene and looks pretty good in a bathing suit. He’s really hot! Still, we’re dying to know what it was like working with Michael Jackson and Liza Minelli. Did Glenn teach Michael how to moonwalk forwards?
In many ways the popularity of Brooke Knows Best and other reality tv shows featuring primary or secondary gay people really opens up the minds of Americans embrace gay people as part of the family. Kudos to you Glenn!
We chat with Sal-E about some pretty far out underwear news as Queen Victoria’s bloomers just sold at auction at the sweet price of nine thousand dollars. But the more juicy detail is that the bloomers were crotchless. Naughty, naughty! Now we know where the name Victoria’s Secrets’ comes from.
It also interesting to note that Britain’s iconic queen’s measurements put her at five feet tall with a 66 inch waist! Now that’s a Butterball Turkey!
Meanwhile in Springfield, Ohio a creepy guy has been arrested for approaching children’s parents, pretending to be a children’s underwear inspector. Are people just that gullible?
How does a 44 lb. cat, possibly the world’s second largest house cat get lost? Poor tabby. It’s not like she could have run away. Princess Chunk, as they call her at her temporary shelter home will soon be available for adoption if the real owner doesn’t turn up.
A pile drive of flavor and fun- Feast of Fools.

Sal-E has been dressing in costume and putting on make up everyday for the past seven days, in a row, just for your entertainment pleasure!
Poor guy! His pores are more clogged than lesbians shoes during a dutch dancing party! Clogged, clogged, I tells ya.
On today’s show Sal-E joins us to celebrate his 28th birthday, okay not really, but he did just have a birthday this past week. Listen as we twist his arm to reveal details of his up and coming perofmrnace at Halsted Street Market Days in Chicago. We’ll be there, will you?
Be sure to check out Sal-E Saturday, August 9th at the Hydrate Stage on the corner of Cornelia and Halsted, at 4pm. Sal-E never fails to amaze the crowds that show up to watch him work the stage in his unique, colorful costumes and makeup.
Real live joker gang wreaks havoc in the south side of Chicago. Do violent movies inspire real-life violence?
Finally a robot that just may understand the concept of love as British university announces the Heart Robot an emitobot that senses how it’s treated and reacts accordingly. If the robot is treated kindly it relaxes and goes limp. If it is treated violently it tenses up and its eyes widen. It’s reported that “Different children react to him very differently. They either want to hug and cuddle him, and look after him like a doll or baby, or they just want to scare him.”
The flooding of a Chinese Restaurant has brought scores of customers into the place. The owner planned on shutting down due to the catastrophe but the ankle deep water delighted the customers so much he stayed open. Waitresses are having a hard time filling orders as people flock to this unusual restaurant.
Say hello to CAN-doms, plastic beer cozies inspired by condoms. Are Candoms just a cheap novelty or do they promote safe drinking? Their main function is to act as beer cozy but some say they have a side effect of promoting sexual awareness. What do you think?

FOF #808 - Zodiac Wine Tasting - 07.30.08

None of us really believe in astrology. The thought that a planets or stars’ location at the time of our birth has any relevance on who we are and what the future holds is far fetched to say the least.

None of us really believe in astrology. The thought that a planets or stars’ location at the time of our birth has any relevance on who we are and what the future holds is far fetched to say the least.
We had an astrologer on the show way back in March of 2006 and he was probably the most reviled guests we have ever had on the show. Yes, even more so than the Gay Republican. We sometimes repost the show just because the people’s reaction was to him was so bad and it’s a joy to read the comments.
That said, we love parties that are out of this world and a Zodiac Wine Tasting seems like the perfect summer event! If it’s fun, we are into it, no matter what the premise may be.
Our friend Alpana Singh suggests that your zodiac sign might be a good place to look to when deciding what kind of wine you might enjoy. So, if you are like me and you are an Aries, you may enjoy a nice Shiraz. Aries are very impatient and impulsive so they want a great wine that they don’t have to wait around for while it matures.
Upon reading our own astrological wine chart, we all thought the recommendations were spot on! I love Shiraz red wine and Alpana’s chart that matched wines to our zodiac sign was spot on every time.
Marc got all into it and is so excited he also wants to match his moon sign, which shows your inner world and emotions and rising sign which shows your personality or mask. I think he’s just coming up with more excuses to drink more.
What’s the right wine for your sign? Well, you’ll have to come to the M Network at the Center on Halsted on Aug 4 from 6-9PM for a Zodiac Wine Tasting with the host of WTTW’s “Check Please!” and Master Sommelier, ALPANA SINGH. It’s $20 for the wine and the food is generously prepared by our friends at Big Jones. Yummy!
RSVP NOW to culture@centeronhalsted.org
On today’s show comedian Adam Guerino joins us to talk about an awkward comedy moment he had at the M-Network kick off event and how he handles when some people in the audience can’t handle his material.
Listen as we talk about weird Asian deserts, Barak Obama fever and moments of mistaken identity.
Here’s a news item taken right out of a scene from the TV show The Simpsons. German police officers busted a all-girl party, but were mistaken for male dancers! No one ordered strippers for the birthday celebration but when two cops arrived after midnight to quiet down the party they quickly found themselves greeted by a round of applause. The revelers thought they were a surprise and who can blame them? Most German cops are in great shape and look stunning in uniform. Woof!
Eel-flavored soda is now a big hit in Japan, rivaling sales of last years summer offerings- cucumber flavored Pepsi and Salad flavored Coca Cola. The beverage tastes like broiled eels and contains eel extracts. Japanese believe that eels boost energy during the heat and humidity of the summer.
The podcast with a fruity aftertaste and nutty bouquet- Feast of Fools.

“Walter, fix me a drink!” In the 1960s, 70s and early 80s we always saw characters on TV drinking all the time, either at home, after work, during lunch, or pretty much all the time.
Everybody seemed to have a little cocktail bar set up in their living room. And then all of a sudden, everyone got rid of them. Except for TV shows like Absolutely Fabulous and Sex and the City, we seldom see TV characters getting drunk like we used to. What happened?
Are we drinking less today, or are we hiding it better?
On today’s show, Feast of Fools teams up with Project CRYSP, Chicago Task Force on LGBT Substance Abuse and Sidetrack to bring you a very special live podcast forum about our complicated relationship with alcohol.
Meet the experts-
Dr. David McKirnan, Professor of Psychology at University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Research Investigator at Howard Brown. He began studying alcohol & drug use among GLBT people in the mid-80s and he later examined the intersection of substance use & HIV risk. Think of him as the Dr. Kinsey of booze!
Lisa Rivitz, the Program Manager for Recovering with Pride Substance Abuse Program at Howard Brown Health Center. Her work focuses on addictions, 12-step recovery for substance abuse and other compulsive behaviors, working with individuals to overcome their abuse with drugs and alcohol.
And meet two bartenders from your favorite gay bars in Chicago, from Sidetrack Paul Davis and from Minibar, Tom Andrika. Paul’s been in recovery for as long as he’s been a bartender at Sidetrack, which has been called the “best gay bar in America.” What’s it like to be a bartender at such a well visited place when you don’t touch the sauce?
In 1946 Tom Adrinka’s grandfather opened up a bar in a small town in Ohio called “The Gay Bar” but it wasn’t a gay bar. But as gays became more visible in the coming years, his grandfather changed it to the “Twin Rivers Tavern.” It’s funny that fate allowed him to have two gay grandsons!
Today he works at Minibar, a gay bar in Chicago known for their sexy male bartenders.
Listen as we talk about what it means to drink responsibly, how to avoid those nasty hangovers and clear up some misconceptions on mixing your drinks.
True stories about boozing it up from Chicago’s gay bars plus questions from you in our audience! Click here for a photo gallery from the event (pictures by Fausto Fernós and Rick Aiello).

We’ve got a delicious bucket of hope! I’m sure you’ve check out Presidential hopeful Barak Obama dazzling speech to the world in Germany, while rival John McCain spoke to diners in a German Restaurant in Ohio. Talk about a cartoonish contrast between candidates.
One looks like the angry old man next door chasing children off the front lawn with his rake, the other looks like a “historial figure.” I was so impressed with his speech, referencing a very mature idea of global citizenship not heard from any political candidiate since the late 1970s, when Carl Sagan brought up the idea in his book and award winning PBS miniseries “Cosmos.”
Reaching out to skeptics back home, Obama Herladed the “dream of freedom” declaring:
“I love America… People of Berlin, people of the world this is our moment. This is our time… I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen - a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.” Wow.
[For a full transcript, click here.]
Obama promised us a bucket of hope and delivered a all-you-can-eat buffet, with self-serve sundae bar of hope!
On today’s show- we follow-up on the kick off of the M-Network, the gay social event we helped to launch in Chicago, our live podcast on alcohol and the Reveal Party for the TLC’s reality tv show “What Not to Wear.”
Despite being on Monday night was a big success! The intimate crowed enjoyed the performances by performance artist Tim Miller and comedian Adam Guerino. We’re really excited about this venture and we hope it grows. Please join us next week as Master Sommelier Alpana Singh to host a Zodiac Wine Tasting where she’ll match world-class wines with your zodiac sign. Wine and light food will be provided.
The live podcast at Sidetrack about alcohol and the GLBT community will be up later this week. It went off without a hitch and was well received by everyone in attendance.
A special thank you to everyone who came to the Reveal Party for TLC’s What Not To Wear. Amanda looked fabulous in her purple dress, silver pumps and new hair style.
The highlight of the evening was when the director, Jen, asked what people liked the best about her new look and Amanda’s friend shouted “her boobs!” and then proceeded to fondle Amanda. Although it won’t make the final cut, we can only hope that TLC will put out a “Too Hot for What Not to Wear” video.
The new X-Files movie features the ultimate boogie men, a gay couple married in Massachusetts! This may be a bit of a spoiler but when is Hollywood going to learn that that gays or trannies aren’t the enemy?
SPOILER! The movie started out ok and we felt like were seeing old friends on the big screen but we were really disappointed when the storyline devolved to feature a psychic link between a convicted pedophile priest and his former victim who kills with his boyfriend to get a new body. End Spoiler!
I remember the X-Files being smart and savvy and I just wonder what the hell they were thinking of producing this lackluster and insulting film. We waited all these years for this?
PLUS: We have an interview with author and talk show host Scott Sherman, who’s got a fabulous new book out First You Fall: A Kevin Connor Mystery, a funny mystery about a sexy gay hustler with a heart of gold. Makes an excellent summer reading, and why not? The main character loves to listen to the Feast of Fools.
Scott’s has produced two podcasts, Digital Photography Show and the archived The Gay Parenting Show. We met Scott last year at the New Media Expo when were both up for the top award for best podcast. Neither of us won and as Scott says “I’m kinda glad neither of us won or else we wouldn’t like each other.” Well, we would have liked you anyway Scott, if we had won.

Still this formula leaves a lot to be desired. [...]
Have you ever played this game with your friends? Think of the name of your first pet you had when you were a kid and the street you lived on, combine those two and you get your Adult Movie Star Name. Mine would be “Jimmy Barbe”
Still this formula leaves a lot to be desired. How about we come up with a new one! Here is a helpful list of combinations you can make to come up with your Adult Movie Star, stage name, faerie name or drag name in a cinch.
• Favorite Snack + Conservative Politician = Snickers Nixon
• Innocent Girls’ Name + Movie Stars’ last name = Victoria Lamarr
• 50’s TV Sitcom Character + Greek/Roman God = Tony Zeus
• Civil Rights Activist + Jungle Cat = Cindy Cheetah
• Car Model + Type of Wood = Mercedes Mahogany
• Suburb in your city + Artificial Food Ingredient = Waukeegan Olestra
Okay, so they are not all winners. Still, this way you can be pretty clever when you’re creating an online profile and don’t want people to know what your real name is. Wouldn’t it be fun to be chatting with Skittles Liddy on the forums?
Keep in mind alliteration (Fausto Fernós, Vernonica Vera or Jessie Jackson) are great names because you get the bonus of having some cool initials like F.F.
Rhymes, or name combinations or puns are great too.
Share with us your favorite formulas for names and your results on the comments below.
Join Amanda Steinstein, Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós as we give honest advice to our hetero female fans who are dying to ignite their love life but find themselves spending a LOT of time with gay men.
When do you let go of a bad situation? How do you train a dog to learn that “NO” really means NO!
The podcast that is like a warm bath full of bubbles- the Feast of Fools.
