Gay Bi Gay Gay
by angeliska on March 17, 2013
It’s that time of year again: spring is in the air, and my house is packed to the brim with lovely vagabonds sprawled out on every bit of available floorspace. In Austin, the second week of March heralds the invasion (…)
Feast of All Souls
by angeliska on December 7, 2012
This year on November 2nd, which is Day of the Dead or All Souls’ Day, (also known as the Commemoration of All Faithful Departed), I was in New Orleans – a city that is on more intimate terms with death (…)
QUEERBOMB IS COMING!
by angeliska on May 12, 2012
It’s almost that time again, y’all – time for Austin’s very own homegrown glittery juggernaut of a rogue queer pride parade takes to the streets and lets out a joyful noise! We’re planning and building and painting and working to (…)
Octopus Honey
by angeliska on August 27, 2009
That and this on a rainy (!) night. The storm thrumbles and booms overhead, the little dogs shiver and quake- and me clickety-clack before a little late-night leftover scallops + gorgonzola grits from The Blue Dahlia, muy delicioso! Looking at (…)

Krewe of Eris – The Swarm
by angeliska on February 18, 2008
On the Sunday before Mardi Gras, the street were overtaken by a gorgeous swarm of insects- The Krewe of Eris! This convivial promenade of bugs and beetles reminded me of The Butterfly Ball, both the poem by William Roscoe, written (…)
Lundi Gras Valentine
by angeliska on February 14, 2008
The road back through the bayou began at the bank, fraught with all the typical mercury in retrograde shenanigans.. Luckily, these snaggles were all swiftly dispatched with relative calm and the rest of our visit was hitchless bliss! Alix the (…)
Santissima Muerte!
by angeliska on November 3, 2007
Happy Halloween, y’all! We went to go see Mistress Stephanie and her Melodic Cat and Foot Patrol and Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Sadly, our taxi never arrived and it was nearly 4am so we didn’t make it to the Enchanted (…)
