THIS WEEK: Que(e)ry III
This item was brought to my attention from the Manager of Blackout. This upcoming Friday, March 18, The folks from Que(e)ry will be conducting a fundraiser benefiting the Library and Archives of the Transgender Foundation of America in Houston, Texas. Follows is a little bit about this group per their press release:
Que(e)ry began in 2010 as a subgroup of The Desk Set, an informal group of librarians, archivists, library science students and other individuals who love books and occasionally throw fund-raising parties for non-profit organizations whose missions support literacy and culture. Read more about The Desk Set in The New York Times and The New York Sun. Que(e)ry was developed by Desk Set members as a safe space for everyone; Que(e)ry aims to promote awareness for non-profit organizations that have established libraries and archives that advocate for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and two spirit (GLBTIQTS) rights and heritage. Que(e)ry has held 2 successful parties to benefit organizations like the LGBT Center, the Lesbian Herstory Archives, the Tom of Finland Foundation, and the Leather Archives and Museum.
What can you expect at this event? Well, all manner and variety of things queer including (but undoubtedly not limited to): queer DJs, queer raffle prizes, queer literary-themed drinks and, most intriguingly, “nerdy go-go dancers”. The suggested price of admission is $5.00 – $10.00. Check it out!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Meet Alex
Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) provides a little background:
Me: “Can I take your picture”
Alex: “Sure, when it makes you a million dollars you will owe my ass”
Me: “Thats a lot of Presidentes”
Alex: “Thats a lot of whatever the fuck”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.

New York Shitty Day Ender: A Stroll In Queens
Filed under: 11101, 11104, 11222, 11377, Blissville, Blissville Queens, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Laurel Hill, Laurel Hill Queens, Long Island City, Long Island City Queens, Sunnyside, Sunnyside Queens, Woodside, Woodside Queens
As promised, here are some highlights from yesterday’s sojourn around Queens. Before we proceed I’d like to tender a few thoughts/teasers:
- I stumbled upon not one but two clownmobiles. Slap happy after four hours of walking I have fun with the owners of one of them.
- Just as in the fine borough of Kings if a patch of drying cement is left unattended in Queens someone will draw penis on it.
- After finding another “adult film” discarded by the railroad tracks on Skillman Avenue yours truly has decided to start a “found porn” map. Is anyone with me on this?
Without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!
