Burning Man is TONIGHT! Didn't ya' know?

I'm so excited for tonight at The Eagle. Honestly, I've never been to Burning Man, nor do I know all that much about it besides the obvious. I wanted to do this theme though so I handed over the night to one our local Camp Conception, and boy have they really run with the idea! The high desert playa of Black Rock City has hosted Burning Man for two decades, since moving its freak flag from Baker Beach in San Francisco in 1991. Since then, the playa has been host to innumerable parties, music events, fashion, trips and shenanigans. Fringe in cooperation with Burning Man Camp Conception will bring a little piece of that to the Eagle this March. Music, lights, art and outfits inspired by the event, some still dusty. And with a heaping load of playa sexy.



Conception has completely transformed The Eagle with their camp decor, revamped the sound system for some truly deep dancing vibes, filled the DJ booth with the amazingly talented Robby Clark, Mz Art Iz, Spaceotter and Neural Net, Val Mohney will be setting up an amazing photobooth outside, Mr. Fu will be body painting by the front door (clothes check available), AND we've even brought in the return of Alisha Mahone and her magical face painting all the way from Hawaii.



Camp Conception will be selling Jello shots for $3 a pop, make sure to grab one or ten or twenty because all the funds from these sales go straight to sponsoring their camp this year.

This is a night you don't want to miss, as we take all the Eagle and Fringe sexiness and really shake it up to a new level.

Party kicks off at 10pm tonight and goes until as late as 4am, and will cost you just a measly fiver at the door, here's the DJ schedule as well-

10:00-11:15 Mz Art Iz
11:15-12:30 Robby Clark
12:30-1:45 spaceotter
1:45-3:00 Neural Net
3-? special bonus round TBD

Fringe Turns Two Saturday Night!

"About a year and a half ago, a nice young man moved to Seattle from San Diego. Suddenly, crazy-glamorous new club nights started popping up. Instead of wearing jeans and T-shirts, people started turning up in full-body spandex, rhinestones, and garbage-bag dresses. And dance floors were filling up" -Kelly O', The Stranger

It's crazy but it's true, Fringe, Nark Magazine's first love child, is turning two this weekend! The party that pushed Seattle's burgeoning club kid scene, put The Eagle back on the map and opened its doors to all walks of life, now lives on to its terrible twos (which is similar to dog years so we are actually more like teenagers now).


Fringe Opening Night

With the help of Dj Skiddle and Brad Crelia, Fringe kicked off its public debacle in a blurry smash of boys, booze, ladies, wigs and rhinestones that lives on today. That cage has became the beacon of light for local and moved on celebs, queens, performers and more such as Lisa Dank, Stella Rose, Amoania, Phoebe Fondue, Caressa Dick, artStar, Wiggy Stardust and so many more, as well as werked out by the likes of Ongina, Jackie Hell, Richard Kennedy and so on.


Lisa Dank's Lazertits

The Social Seattle asked me to put together a top ten moments of Fringe, and they are as follows-


-Most recently, at the last Fringe, when that humungous muscle-tank got in his underwear and starting rag-doll tossing Faz around in the go-go cage, it was HOT. That daddy went home with someone VERY unexpected that night!

-NYE 2010, right before the drag performance Phoebe Fondue walks up to me and says, 'do you mind if I show a little butt?' I say, no, of course not, just keep it within limits. Next thing I know I look over at the cage and Phoebe Fondue is COMPLETELY naked.


-At Candy Fringe long ago, when we managed to drag a marching band in off the street to march around the Eagle dancefloor, playing along to the music.

-Lisa Dank's Lazertits.


-That time everyone got covered in and fed chocolate and were too drunk to realize it was coming out of Phoebe Fondue's ass.

-The puberty party, it had the best poster EVER, but I was the only one who came in theme and just ended up looking like middle school leftover emotrash. At least my pimples had rhinestone whiteheads.


-The medical night party when Jackie Hell came up to me all crazy and said 'I just keep eating all these pills off the floor!' Later, I found out they were nightmare control and stool softening meds, I hope she slept sound.

-Caressa Dick wearing so much lip gloss over her entire face that she looked like the plastic surgery cat lady. Also she probably peed on someone that night.


-Meeting Ongina and getting gay married. -Whitney Allison

-Selling Jello shots. In a dress, I did alright... in nothing but my skivvies I made a killing. That's the night I learned the true power of sex appeal. -Jinkx Monsoon

And now! We present our big blowout two year anniversary, this Saturday night (12/3) at The Eagle! This time we are really mixing up the game and bringing you something all new.



Fresh in from San Francisco we have our Hard French babe, Dj Carnita with a bag full of 45's. Yes that's right, this Fringe is going to be ALL vinyl, all Soul, Funk, R&B, Oldies and Disco! Now that's a sockhop you can cover in glitter.


Alongside DJ Carnita will be Havana's Sophisticated Mama soul DJ, Nitty Gritty! We are pulling him away from the bachelorette parties at Havana and putting him in a gay bar right where he belongs, let's break him in easy okay?

We've also got a very special live performance by staple Homo for the Holidays crew, Henry Lou Hoover of Cherdonna and Lou, partnered up with Kitten LaRue! I honestly have no idea what they have in store for us, but I know it will be major.

And the theme for this affair? Celebrity Zombies. Why? Because we can. Pick your favorite celeb, singer, performer, artist- whatever- past or present (or if you are really good, from the future), and create your zombie form of them. Then I say we invade Linda's the next day for a zombie brunch? Anyone?

Nark Interviews Victor Rodriguez (LA)

We have such an exciting evening coming up in Seattle this weekend with the musically charged mixture of two west coast legends visiting us at The Eagle on Saturday night, Juanita More and Victor Rodriguez! Individually, these two party powerhouses have fueled the best in nightlife in San Francisco (Juanita) and Los Angeles (Victor) from as early as the mid-80's; when combined in one place, asses are sure to shake uncontrollably.

This is a monumental evening as not only are these two combined in one DJ booth, but it is also Victor Rodriguez' first visit to Seattle or the Pacific Northwest in general, you're not going to want to miss this! I got the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Rodriguez about his upcoming visit.

Nark: Hi Victor, what's the first thought that comes to your mind when I say Seattle?

Victor Rodriguez: Trees and enviro-hotties.

N: So your biography says you are a jet setter, if you're not in L.A. or Palm Springs you're off in San Francisco or Puerto Rico and so on, DJ'ing, mingling, being amazing- and yet never to Seattle, what's up with that? We are a real city too you know.

VR: It's all about timing, I have been wanting to go for years. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this trip.

N: Tell us a little bit about your beginnings in the night life world.

VR: I started working in an underground party called Plastic Passion in 1986, it was a really great weekly party that had different monthly themes. It started out in Old warehouses then moved to old hotel ballrooms in downtown L.A., the crowd was very mixed, all sorts. It really set a tone for me that followed me still today.

N: How do you compare the overall 'scene' to now?

VR: In L.A. We had a very cool boom about three years ago that very much had the same energy I witnessed back in the 80's. I felt blessed to do it twice. It was really nice to have the art, dance, fashion and music worlds have a strong presence in the club world, in an organic way.

N: You no doubt personally know all the biggest gay/queer/whatever performers, DJ's and public figures from the past 20+ years, who are some of your favorite people?

VR: The Horse Meat Disco guys, my Honey Soundsystem boys in San Francisco, my Spank and Stank kids (Christy Love and Jeremy of House of Stank) in New York, Billy Beyond, Gant Johnson, Tee Scott, David Mancuso, Frankie Knuckles, Bus Station John, Andy Butler, James Murphy and Pat Mahoney, Sleezy McQueen, Cole Medena, DJ Harvey, and of course my sister in crime Chris Bowen. My favorite figures I don't know are Patti Smith, John Waters, Irwin Allen, Herb & Dorothy Vogel and Minnie Riperton.

N: Give us a little idea of you're planning to serve up from the DJ booth?

VR: I'll tell you when I know, normally about five minutes before I start! But, as always, no top 40.

Get all this and more this Saturday night (10/01) at The Eagle starting at 10pm! (open afterhours, and cover charge is only 5 bones), for the introduction of Beep Beep!* A soiree brought to you by The Social Seattle, Fringe Presents and Nark Magazine. There will be a lot of looked served up and some of the best damn music you'll hear on the hill, alongside some good ol' jello shooting go-go dancing butt slapping Eagle fun, and since I'll be off for the night I get to hop around and capture all your looks for the party book. (Check out Nark Magazine's recent coverage of Juanita More's Bootycall Wednesdays in San Francisco last week here, and a Folsom recap on Queerty- here and here.)

Beep Beep!

Featuring two west coast legends:



JUANITA MORE! (SF)
JuanitaMore.com

"San Francisco drag legend Juanita MORE! packs a vintage 70's silver-makeup case full of enough house, techno and disco music to make anyone shake their groove thing on the dance floor. But, don't close your eyes or you just might miss her lip-synching an old-school drag classic from the booth. Famous for her shockingly stylish fashion assaults and her signature French scent of tuberoses and musk - this jewelry laden lady will keep you moving your ass all night long."




VICTOR RODRIGUEZ (LA)
VictorRodriguez.com

"An Influential promoter since before he was legally allowed to enter clubs. Victor Rodriguez was influential in building the LA club scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s through his association with such legendary clubs as White Chocolate, Plastic Passion, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. His bringing Beige to LA with Billy Erb only further solidified his standings as a pioneer and innovator in LA. His private clients have taken him all over the globe, jet setting parties, movie premieres, and private cocktail functions. Showing his versatility and ability to set mood with his collection has proved his ability to remain relevant in our ever-changing climate."
