THIS IS THE MAINSTREAM NEWS IN TEXAS

.... and we think FOX news is bad?!
believe it or not, this is a real news channel in texas.
KETK-NBC news anchors ask: “Will the acceptance of homosexuality in this society be the downfall of America?”

Yes, that was a question actually posed to viewers by a Texas-based NBC affiliate TV station, both on the air and online. But it didn’t end there. The station then went on to broadcast responses from viewers -
- some of the most vitriolic attacks on LGBT people that you will ever hear on a network affiliate.

to me this signifies the last ditch attempts of the christian-right to fight back at what they view as their world coming to an end.
it sounds awful, but i can guarantee you in a couple years this broadcast will be as dated as when you see a cartoon with little black sambo.
using gays the demons of society will become dated.... very soon... mark my word.

GLEN MEADMORE-2O11

(bf- jan klesse, gf- the goddess bunny & glen meadmore- aka penny)

reborn-country-christian-gay-post-punk-pop- crooner-
GLEN MEADMORE is making a comeback these days.
originally hitting hollywood hard in the early 1980s,
glen, ( i call him penny) set the LA music/art scene ablaze with on-stage antics like- sticking a chicken head up his ass, attacking an entire audience, doing the spider-walk in drag, and taking the pants off of cute boys in the front row.
i also fondly remember that time he got fucked by a german shepherd, but that was off stage.
glen also had the honor of opening for JAYNE'S ADDICTION in 1988, and being booed by the entire homophobic audience. (my how times have not changed) ~ " thank you!," was glen's appropriate response.



(glen meadmore- circa 1977 in winiepeg, canada)

glen meadmore will be performing @ 3RD KINKY CABARET on december 16th, and a reunion with ROZ WILLIAMS during january, hosted by ANTEBELLUM gallery.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

dia de los muertos, (day of the dead) is upon us!

the traditional latin holiday of honoring the dead is now in
full bloom. dia de los muertos celebrations dates back thousands of years and is celebrated in most latin countries, parts of indonesia, also africa. because of the large latin population in southern california - dia de los muertos has been gaining popularity every year.
in fact dia de los muertos now rivals halloween in popularity.

ANTEBELLUM will present two events celebrating this tradition...
with a twist of course.

on OCTOBER 30TH @ HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY, ANTEBELLUM and artist RAYMOND SANDOVAL will have an art booth as part of the celebration in the cemetery.. this event has become tremendously popular. last year forty thousand people attended the celebration!
the atmosphere is amazing and other worldly. graves are dressed for the evening, live performances go on continuously, traditional food booths, costumes, and of course art booths.. look for our art booth at the entrance of the cemetery.




the event takes place- october 30th- 2pm til 11:30pm~ $10 cover.. come early, or wait in line like disneyland. bring the kids!

about the artist~

RAYMOND SANDOVAL
is an artist using the traditional influence of dia de los muertos, ( day of the dead) working with paper mache and found wood. raymond uses the figure as language, as he conveys a message or feeling into the work the art becomes the messenger. 'My work is a result of working where there is seemingly nothing, allowing myself to be irrational and emotional, then with a measure of faith, I intuitively make an image.'

His most well known work is the colossal bronze of TAMANEND in Philadelphia, Pa, located on Penn’s Landing along the Delaware river. TAMANEND commemorates the contributions of Native Americans Indians.

Raymond Sandoval is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. he was born and raised in jemez springs, new mexico, in SANDOVAL COUNTY. his family ancestry dates back 500 years.
