Happy 5th of July from Gaycondo!
Sure, the 4th of July may be the most glamorous of July dates, what with the explosions and competitive eating and all. It is the 5th of July however, when we get to narcissistically enjoy all of the fun party shots we took of ourselves…

SWALLOWS: ATTN: Portland People
ATTENTION PORTLAND PEOPLE…and those of the greater NW who wouldn’t mind driving to Portland:
Swallows (Jon/Em) would LOVE to invite our loyal gaycondo readers to our big show this weekend. We are playing with some incredible acts including Agent Ribbons, Cat Fancy! and DJ Nate C. There will even be two burlesque performers, Moxie Stunner and Starla Silverstein, doing some sexy dances during a Swallows song and an Agent Ribbons song. Best of all? The next day is Memorial Day, therefore, those of you who have regular, non-service industry jobbi-jobs can stay out late and party!
FEATURING…..
AGENT RIBBONS
This Sacramento duo churns out a sassy and sultry blend of 50s pop, cabaret and even a little Patsy Cline country through a garage rock sound that gets a crowd going. -Ian Schuler, MINI LIFE
LISTEN to “Obituary”:
SWALLOWS
Swallows is one of those cute-as-a-button indie bands with which the Northwest is so abundantly blessed. Describing and labeling a band’s music is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall, but Swallows is roughly branded as experimental indie-pop with a post-riot grrrl vibe. – Just Out Magazine
LISTEN to “Wait Until Dark” :
CAT FANCY!
Portland local, Cat Fancy!, makes lo-fi feminist space trash channeling British riot grrrl legend, Huggy Bear.
LISTEN to “One Lump Or Two”:
DJ NATE C:
Spinning an eclectic mix of indie, rock, pop, experimental and metal with an emphasis on female artists.
Featuring 2 Burlesque performers doing live choreography!!!:
STARLA SILVERSTEIN:
Ms. Silverstein is fortunate to have her performances choreographed posthumously by the great Agnes DeMille, channeled through a talented local medium. Tonight, she will be doing a live performance while Agent Ribbon plays their lonesome prostitute waltz, “La Noche”.
MOXIE STUNNER:
Fluent in many styles including ballet, jazz, modern, & lyrical, Ms. Stunner will heat up the room with a live dance to Swallows’ queer anthem, “I’d Like To Be Your Man”.
… not as dirty as it sounds.
All of us here at Gaycondo are officially obsessed with this new British fad that just crossed the Atlantic called Sleeve facing. Watch the video to learn more:
We first learned about this new fad while reading Katherine Dexter’s Blog, which in turn led us to the official Sleeve Face Website.
At an Easter party we all attended at our good friend Mandy’s house today, the four of us went Sleeve Face crazy!
Here are some of the results (click for better resolution versions) :
Weekly Guest Blogger Nickey!!!!
Ok, she’s not actually moving into the three dimensional Gaycondo here in Portland, but she will be writing a weekly guest column starting in a few days. We are really excited to have her here and you should be too!
You may remember her from this post we did about a claymation film she made or maybe this post about the mini-bike dance troupe she is a member of.
Or, if you’d prefer, you can choose to remember her from this picture where she is pretending to birth Carlton, one of the Gaycondo cats:

Jon: I’m so petty….
…but I can’t help but be jealous of people who are more successful than me!
You know that blog. You know the one. It’s all about people with fair complections and the things that most of them seem to enjoy.
What you’re still drawing a blank???
OK. Apparently you live under a rock and need me to spell it out… geez.
I’m talking about that blog called “Stuff White People Like”. My friend Nickey clued me in on it, but I guess I was the last to get the memo about it because it has gotten over 10.5 million hits. That’s pretty impressive huh? You know what is more mind boggling?
It didn’t exist untill two weeks after Gaycondo went online!!!
That’s 175,000 hits a day!!!
Listen, I know you love us. I know that you think that we are witty and smart and interesting and pretty. I get it. I know you read this blog at least 10 times a day….. and I appreciate it. But here’s the thing: I’m going to need you to work a little harder on that, okay? We have fragile egos here. So if you could get on top of making us one of wordpress’s top five blogs by, oh I don’t know, how does this Saturday sound, that would be fantastic.
Capische?
ps:Just Kidding!! (sort of….)
YAY! Gaycondo is officially two months old! Let’s celebrate by re-reading my favorite posts of the month:
Jon: Yeah, I’m From Freakin New Jersey: Featuring a video by a thick accented New Jersey couple asking each other ridiculous body-function related question. I am a huge fan of Seinfeldish every day humor (ie. farting, peeing in showers, awkward moments) and loud people who laugh at their own jokes thus making me laugh because the sound of their voice is hilarious.
KEEP IT ON THE BROWNLOWE: Amy Winehouse @ Grammys: Not only did she inspired Grammy voters to hand it all over, she also inspires people to make hilarious parodies of her music.
Paul: While We’re on the Subject of Amy Winehouse: Amy Winehouse + Blake = modern versions of Sid + Nancy?! Check out this photographic comparison

Paul: My Plan to Get Filthy Rich: If only this blog post DIDN’T exist then maybe Paul could milk the money tit off of Hooters!
Jon: Found On Craig’s List: An AD for a gang street gang in LA! “So if you’re tough enough, just email me and we can start our gang. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like, as long as you are attractive and have a great body.”
Read the Best
of January
New lovers or high school sweethearts celebrate the success of their budding relationship each month. Why should blogging be any different?. Gaycondo celebrates it’s 1 month anniversary today! The blog was the brainchild of Jon’s new year’s resolution. We all decided to hop on the blog bandwagon and have been totally obsessed ever since.
In our one month of existence, we have made over 86 posts, received a small, unexpected feature in our local queer paper, angered a certain conservative talk show host’s entourage and had over 2,000 views from people like YOU! Thanks a ton for your support!
