On a significantly more upbeat note, the Saints and Sinners literary festival happens this weekend. In addition to panels and get-togethers with festival regulars like Poppy Z. Brite and Michelle Tea, this year organizers have put together something called Circus Maximus, a rather sassy, circus-themed cocktail party hosted by GLBT literary darling Michael Cunningham and DJ Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. And it’s being held at a mansion on St. Charles Avenue.
I don’t know how this stuff happens or who makes it happen, but goddess bless ’em–or demoness, as the case may be.
