Some Things I Am Doing In April, Kids:

I'm lucky enough to be part of some really exciting shows this month, and I wanted to invite you! I hope y'all can make it! There's this Friday, I am hosting a reading at Pussy Faggot, and I will be doing a short performance at Walter Cessna's book release party on 4/12, and finally, on 4/20, my gay goth rap band B0DYH1GH will be doing a multimedia "Special Gala" performance at Culturefix in the LES, organized by Snowy Wilderness.
