Really from Feb 23rd but stuck in tech limbo...

More Oscar Blog-

A quick role call: Kevin & Dodie of course. The always delightful Anne Mcguire, our very own porn star Stephen Boyer (performing under another name or names I think), Maize our Oscar expert without watching any of the films, Masha aka Georgette (who knew!), Emile W. impersonating his female self the artist still known as Emily Wilson, the late arriving dlightfully disruptive Minnette Lehrman and yours truly Drew angry hair and all.

During: lots of off and on screen dialogue mostly unrelated. More conversation even than during a movie at the AMC 1000 on Van Ness. A little distracting from the central premise but then it was almost the incidental excuse for a gathering. A few heated exchanges over politics and agenda. The balance perhaps not quite right with the impervious Oscars at the center of things and group not quite complete but no explosions or irreparable damages done amazingly just some reinforcements of ideas of each other I think.

Kevin's postmortem for fanzine was a nice archiving of it all in a flattering but true light.

Other post mortems suggest the show was a bit flat and not so much fun which affirms my remaining feeling that this peculiar engagement with this year's bloody bunch of Oscars was the best way to be with them.
