Routes Music is a documentary film acting as a roving music census, taking in the true musical passions (and disgusts) of the American people. We’re traveling all across the country, stopping along the way to interview local bands, take footage of live performances and chat with anyone and everyone.

“Where eeez yer pipe?”

A 6’4 security guard towered over me, glaring.

“Where eeez yer pipe?” he repeated in a thick Islands accent.

“What?” I replied, not sure he really just asked me what I think he just asked me.

“Where eeez yer pipe?” he asked again.

“My what?” I said again, still shocked.

“Yer pipe. Yer pipe.”

Now he was aggravated. I’m enjoying feigning ignorance.

“I don’t know what you’re saying, man.”

The guard switches tactics.

“Drugs?”

I smile.

“No, no drugs.”

“OK, go ahead.”

So began my very first experience at an extended-day music festival, and only my second time ever seeing the seminal jam band, Phish. Luckily, the rest of the three-day fest at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, Calif. went smoother than my entry.

With Halloween approaching faster than an ADD kid jacked up on Snickers, much ado has been made about the sexification of female Halloween costumes. While some women feel that Halloween is the one day they can wear provocative outfits in public without being called sluts, others feel this trend increasingly objectifies women. I don’t know who’s right,  but I do know I have no problem with the sexification of male costumes. Read the rest of this entry »

Stryker Vawn, the XXX fetish tag-team from Austin, Texas, will perform for an intimate crowd at the VIP Dungeon Show, Saturday Sept. 26. The leather clad Stryker and perpetually topless Vawn, took a break from whipping and prodding each other on stage to bare it all to CL.

-How would you describe a Stryker Vawn performance?

2 parts burlesque, finely chopped

1 part Vaudeville, peeled and pressed

6 parts perversion, stewed in sex butter

3 parts fantasy, drizzled with honey

1 part fury, ground coarsely

Mix contents vigorously in your mind until creamy thick.

-Do relatives know about your alter egos?

YES. When we first started, there was always a family member in the audience. They think we are weird but accept us for doing what we enjoy.

The Costume Diva has arrived! On her new blog, creative costumer Kathy Buck answers your questions and

The Costume Diva created the wardrobe for Gorilla Theatre's performance of Elizabeth and Edward

concerns about the tricky clothing conundrums of local — often low-budget — theater productions. Feel free to test her skills — the Diva has yet to meet an ensemble enigma she can’t solve!

The first installment of her attire advice tackles a challenging wardrobe category: Shakespearean plays.

Dear Diva,
I have been given the task of costuming an upcoming production of The Tempest. There are 20 people in the cast. A few of the actors are playing multiple roles so I will need to construct a total of 26 costumes. I have a limited budget of $1000 and less than a month to complete the project. The director is placing this Shakespearean piece in the present. My task seems so overwhelming, I am not even sure where to begin. Can you give me some time and money saving tips?

Signed,
In Stitches

Some like to be dominated. Others are turned on by feet. Fantasies and fetishes are distinctly different, but a fantasy can include a fetish. After writing the article, Sex Outside the Box, I starting thinking about fantasies and fetishes. A sexual fantasy begins as a thought and is an event or act that isn’t normally played out in the bedroom. If you’re lucky you may be able to act upon this fantasy. A fetish can be an object or an act that isn’t considered outright sexual in nature. Either way a person can’t get off without incorporating their fetish. Read the rest of this entry »
