The heat has apparently put everyone in the mood to party in the street, and with the striking down of the gay marriage ban yesterday, the city has officially erupted into one big homosexual celebration, as these grainy cell phone pictures attest.

This makes him very old, which explains his increasing kookiness as the stress of the Presidential race wears on him.

She makes danceable, funny tracks you can listen to on her MySpace, and from what I can tell from her YouTube videos, her shows have a dirty cabaret one-woman-show kind of feel. Should be fun.
