Worldwide. So enjoy our 60th issue, and check
out all of the amazing people, events, and places
we feature – like Lena Love, Mark Baker, Andrew
Briskin, and the city of San Francisco.
In This Issue
DJ Spotlight: Quentin Harris grew up surrounded
by musicians, so it’s no surprise he was playing
classical piano as a child. But growing up in
Detroit meant being surrounded by techno, so
when he got the DJ bug, he took his skills and
knowledge and applied it to the turntables. Years
later, he’s become one of the most sought-after
mixmasters in the world.
City Spotlight: If being gay were a religion,
we’d all pray facing San Francisco, because this
legendary center of culture, nightlife, alternative
lifestyles and left-leaning politics truly is our
Mecca. Steve Kleine gives you all the inside dope
on where to eat, drink, party, be enlightened,
shop, and even get off.
Tango Blues: How do local bars and clubs bring
in top-flight DJs and singers, especially in these
tough times? Andrew Briskin has hit on a formula
that marries corporate sponsors with talent. The
result is tours like last year’s wildly successful
Music to Wear Tour for Andrew Christian’s sexy
underwear brand.
Promoter Spotlight: When we last heard from
Mark Baker, he was the mega-producer of the
Gay Days franchise in Orlando. After some time
off to regroup, he’s back with a new concept for a
new generation of clubgoers. World|Vibe Orlando
will feature the top House DJs and singers for a
straight (and gay!) crowd.
Lena Love: What do you get when you take a
female bodybuilder and set her loose on the
Circuit? You get the off-the-wall shows that this
disco diva-in-the-making has been taking on the
road, from Vancouver to Montreal. This Torontobased
performance artist believes the only rule
is to break the rules. Remember: You have been
warned.
