Philadelphia poetry figurehead CA Conrad is a deviant. That’s the name of the new video interview series that he’s publishing, The Deviant. The site features Conrad’s interviews with activists and artists “doing very important work as artists and activists” on the fringe. There is no better place to start than with the great Les Harrison, an elderly drag queen who broke through the “whites only” barrier in the 1960s Philly drag scene. “When I was a teenager in Philadelphia, Les was our new age drag mother,” says Conrad of the brave, kind, transgender Harrison. Ask Conrad about the series during his (Soma)tic poetry event Sun., June 12 with The Jubilant Thicket Literary Series peeps at The Walking Fish Theatre, 2509 Frankford Ave. Talk to Conrad too about being Poetry Trading Card #17 from the Fact-Simile Editions deck.
Philly’s naughtiest electro MC, Spank Rock, is finally close to dropping his next album. That’s five years between drinks, folks. Depending on who sent you what note, Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar will drop on his own label Bad Blood Records (what happened to Downtown?) on either September 13 or 27. Peeps at Biz 3 are saying to expect something between David Byrne and Ike Turner. OK.
I’ll have more to tell you next week but Sansom Street clothing designer Sarah Van Aken will debut her bag design for Adopt-A-Pig (an organization that helps children and their families cope with pediatric cancer). The bag will be used as part of a coping kit for those families affected by the illness at DuPont Hospital for Children in Philadelphia.
