I think your cataloging of these events is nothing less than spectacular. You go boy!

HOT, HOT, HOT!!! I love the fine brothers of Gammi Phi Q and I've never been a fan of frats. I have faith that GPQ will change my opinion. Great pictures once again. Why don't you do a documentary that gives outsiders a real look at the ball scene?

I love your photos, one day I'm going to get up enough courage to go to a ball. Cool idea for a Faternity, lets see how it goes...

Your very sexy Frank, why don't you ever smile?

Never been to a ball but your blog always peaks my interest... like Trent said I can see you doing a 2006 Paris is Burining

I love how you are redefining performance, mixing and sampling the ball culture, frats/sororities, the contemporary fashion industry, and other forms of (late afro-)bourgeois social and cultural production, combining all of this in a detourning to create something so arresting on multiple fronts. I wonder if everyone else knows what you're up to? I love it. Work!

PS: What is your frat's call or phrase that you use after initiation?

Brother Frank, we had a great meeting today. Gamma Phi Q is definitely the next big thing. Our brothers across the sexuality, gender, ethnic, cultural, intellectual, learned, fiscal, etc. spectrum will not only be proud of what is to come, but surely activity invest. Already, CBO's and media are jumping on the movement of the brotherhood.

Gamma Phi Q will be the new Fraternal House that will create a paradigm shift, enhancement, and awareness toward the understanding of what means, both in ideology and practice, to be a whole man. Not a black man, not a gay man, not a gay black man, but a man in fluid--a whole man: a Gamma Phi Q Man.

Can't wait to our next meeting. Talk with you tomorrow.

Brother Vision

Talk about the next renaissance period.

This is absolutely fascinating. Keep it going. Or as Tim would say "Make it work"!
