I saw tera patrick’s boobies

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Yeah yeah yeah, so has everyone. But I saw them live and in person. You know what else I saw? Her muffin top. And her surgically-ravaged face. Gross. I remember whacking it to her in the early 2000’s, before she got her falsies and decided she didn’t want to be Asian. And now? All those happy memories are ruined. Thanks a freakin’ lot, Tera. Those aren’t “boobies”–the diminutive suffix “ies” simply doesn’t work for such freakish sweater puppets. Nay, I declare them to be “boobstrosities.”

The reason I saw Tera Patrick’s boobstrosities is that I went to Steel Panther Formerly Known As Metal Skool last night for the first time. The singer noticed her in the crowd and invited her up on stage to dance around during one of the songs. Could you ask for a better set-up than a porn star dancing to 80s glam rock? I say no. And yet, it was remarkable how someone who fucks for a living can be the unsexiest dancer ever.

But Steel Panther is very, very good. They skipped the “You got the peaches, I got the cream” part from “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” but everything else was on point. The phallic guitar gestures, the overtures to coke, strippers and beer, the fake “Behind The Music” that they played before going on. And let’s not forget the one original song they played, “Asian Hookers.” “Sucky sucky,” went the lyrics, but “ass-kicky ass-kicky” went the maxxximum tuneage. Enough has been written about Steel Panther elsewhere, but if you haven’t seen them, do yourself a favor and head on over to Key Club one of these Monday nights. You might even get to see some boobstrosities.

I’m a Persian Pop Star!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

So I got this gig playing Persian techno music with this guy. That should be enough of a punch line, but on Saturday we played–excuse me, “played”–at the Pierce College Persian Peace Party or something. It was in the valley. I pretended to play an electronic drumset that wasn’t plugged in.

All this was in preparation for a November 26 show at the Kodak Theatre. Presumably, we’ll be playing live instruments for that one. Actually, the bass player we have is really, really good and I’m looking forward to playing with him some more.

So in the “green room,” which was really a white tent, there was this huge plate of whole Persian cucumbers just sitting there. And it dawned on me. That’s gonna be my stage name for all future Persian techno performances. Steve “The Persian Cucumber” Coy. I smell a Grammy! Wait, no. That’s just the cologne cloud from all the greased-up Persian dudes at the gig.

sometimes, drag queen bingo happens

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I’ll start with the punchline: Wednesday night, I went to drag queen bingo and won a bag full of lesbian porn from Heather, the runner-up from the first season of Rock of Love. (more…)
