the young people's professor

While the rest of New York City parties this weekend, I'll be taking some down time to continue working on some of my long overdue academic deadlines. There are way too many Ho-lloween parties lined up for me to mention, though I will say that I know Club Pascha and Alegria will both be among the anticipated hot-spots. And of course, the "historic" battle between DJ Junior Vasquez (I'm convinced that this man and his Keith Haring-like appropriations of Black and Latina/o culture is a dissertation just waiting to happen) and DJ Peter Rauhofer will go down at THE SAINT AT LARGE.

If you can, go out and support the Queer Black Film and Music Festival playing at the Brecht Film Forum. And yes, I am going to take everyone's advice and actually go see Noah's Arc tonight in Chelsea.

Oh, and wait. I have a Friday treat for you. The following clip is an example of exactly why I love youtube, it keeps me laughing endlessly:

Enjoy the weekend,
