Can I sing to you in San Francisco on Jan 23?

Can I sing to you in San Francisco on Jan 23? Of course it would be easier if you were in San Francisco too, but
some of you are, you know who you are...... and if you
aren't you might know someone who is, so pass the word along......

So let your friends know!! I have been a busy beaver editing video
like there is no tomorrow, keep checking my youtube.com/phatmandee for
more stuff, though because of the 10 min limit, the longer segments
are going up in higher def on my myspace and facebook accounts.

Stay warm and see you in sunny San Francisco!!

PS Save the date, next Pittsburgh gig on Feb 5 at Pegasus with dancer
Olivia Kissel!!!

PPS Yes, we had a Burn last weekend in the subzero temperatures of Western Pennsylvania. As the Nation prepared for change, we burned....

We were not the first, but in the last 17 years, we were the coldest.... In record breaking sub zero temperatures I joined with 150 or so of my dumbest friends and some of their children at Cooper's Lake Campground to camp out and enjoy the community which believes "Those who burn together stay together". Unless one of us gets frostbite and then, well, you might lose some external bits..... Please to enjoy the burning of our effigy, created by Rob, If you know the names of the fire spinners, let me know and I will add them here in the info section. For info about the event visit

Coyote Cafe in Bloomfield, he has put together with his good friends,

I ordered the cake!!!

And it's black with hot pink roses! A full sheet, so you better come
to Pegasus and have a piece! It is Meoww Kitty's aka Suz Pisano's
birthday and she is turning lovelier than ever. For those of you who
know her, you know how lucky you are, for those of you who don't ,
well what are you waiting for?!?? She creates the neatest bags and
hats and scarves and costumery. The fun fur scarves I bought from her
for my nieces literally made those little girls squeal at the top of
their lungs! (They had googly eyes with lashes and little leather red
tongues....really adorable.)

See a tasty example of her handiwork:
So anyhoo, as if just me singing at Peg's wasn't enough, now we have
cake and a Suzy P to further entice you, so I do hope you can make it
tomorrow Jan 8 at 10 pm at 818 Liberty Ave, in the basement,
underground Pittsburgh, PA. 18 and over , with ID. $3. Come on down
and get your gay on, and if you can't get your gay on, then you can
just sit down and watch while we do it for you...... there will be
plenty of cake......

And while we are looking at pictures, here's one taken last November at Zafira's Vaudeville Carnevale III, by Darter:
I better see you out, if you can' t make it, please to enjoy some video I shot at Howler's last week of Kagero, America's latest Japanese Gypsy Funk Sensation!
