 FOF #630 - Live From Akbar! - 10.16.07
from Feast of Fools : Gay Fun Show
October 16, 2007
The wait is over! Here it is, the taping out live show from the Akbar in Los Angeles. What a great night it was for us. Performing before a live audience always is such a thrill. We had the best audience any podcast could ever ask for. All of us here at the FOF compound are very proud of everyone who participated in the live show and blown away by their performances. Ronnie, Sal-E, Sabrina Matthews, Steven Peterson and Buzz were all were amazing and delivered their bit with great skill. Ronnie and Sal-E, we discovered have a great knack for stand up and so we re looking forward to seeing them exploring this talent. We d go see them anytime anywhere. During the middle of the show, Fausto saw the opportunity to electrify the audience with a demonstration of Buzz s, one of our dedicated listener, fetish- taser electrocution. He picked himself to get shocked, just to get a little taste of what that poor student in Florida went through. Many of you asked him afterwards what it felt like, and all he could say was that he didn t need to drink any caffeine afterwards! It certainly woke me up. Buzz certainly knows his way around a taser. Sabrina Matthews thankfully turned up towards the end of the show. We were afraid she wasn t going to make it due to a previous engagement in Beverly Hills. We re glad and honored that she made it and she left us chuckling at her real life tales of being a bridesmaid. Check out the interview we did with Sabrina here on the Gay Fun Show. A real pleasure was meeting with many of the listeners after the show. There are definitely too many to mention here but it was nice to see faces from last year too like Mario, PupDon, Buzz, and Mike Rocco. TheThe Sister of Perpetual Indulgence also came out en masse. We re not sure if they are trying to convert Sal-E or just sharing make up tips. It was also nice to meet some new people like John M, Mike, Luis and.that guy who use to live at 12th and Powell in Erie We even had some surprise attendees like this gay wrestler we interviewed last year at the Gay Games and good friends Marsian, Jason Schupp, and Robin Monks. Steven Peterson represented in royal fashion as our honorary cake sitter. As you may remember, our first live podcast had Victoria Lamarr dressed up as Ann Coulter sitting on a cake. So you see, Steven had some big shoes (and a seat) to fill and passed with flying colors! It really is a skilled art and he mastered it perfectly. Stay tuned on the site for Steven s cake sitting video and others. There are lots of good pics of the event in the community forum thread, FOF Pictures from LA!!! If you have any please feel free to add them to the thread and be on the look out for more photos from our Flickr site Akbar was a wonderful host and we were very thankful for the help with their event. They were just named one of the top 50 gay bars in the world by OUT magazine and they certainly deserve it! Thanks also to Fred from The Kitchen for hooking us up with the Akbar. If you re ever in Silver Lake, stop by the Kitchen for eats and have some drinks at the Akbar and tell them the Feast of Fools says hi! And finally, to all the people who donated money and bought t shirts to get us to California and back- a round of applause for you! You are the best and we couldn t do it without you. Check out this fabulous photo gallery of pics from the event taken by Alex Bellanger. More pics to come.
