Trash and Vaudeville, The Shop That Punk Built - An excellent history of the storied punk establishment. Including this great line from Jimmy Webb manager and buyer: “Lou Reed’s 1972 ode to hustlers, transsexuals and transsexual hustlers would alter Mr. Webb’s life. ‘A friend asked, ‘Do you know what it means?’ ’ he recalled. ‘I did without knowing it. I knew I was a boy that had to leave to go somewhere.’”

What Queerocracy Looks Like

“To date, the group [Queerocracy] has participated in die-ins to dramatize the ongoing AIDS epidemic; supported comprehensive immigration reform; protested Uganda’s proposed ‘kill the gays’ bill; bused people to Washington, D.C. for the We Can End AIDS demonstration held during last summer’s international AIDS conference; and facilitated a three-day symposium and art exhibition at the New School to address the ways that HIV/AIDS impacts different constituencies…Members are currently developing strategies to engage a wider swath of the LGBTQ community”

The Rawhide Is Closing - Jeremiah from Vanishing New York writes “Opened in 1979, the Rawhide is one of the last of a handful of old-school, unpretentious gay bars left in New York City. It is a survivor. But it won’t be for long. The building that houses it on 8th and 21st in Chelsea was sold a couple of years ago and the new landlord has jacked up the rent, nearly doubling it from $15,000 to $27,000 a month. The Rawhide has officially been evicted. Their last day will be March 31.”
