TONIGHT!

If Mrs. Diablo will let me, I might marry Natalie Portman!

Wow. Best Strangelove Ever.

As soon as we opened the doors, we had a small crowd in the bar. By the end of the night, we had had the biggest Strangelove yet.

First off I must give thanks to everyone who dressed up. I often like to encourage people to dress for a theme, and do some kind of activity that's not normally done in clubs. So it was a beautiful thing to see about 50 people go to the effort to really dress the part. There were some great costumes. There was one couple that completely blew my mind - he had a noose around his neck that pointed up as if he was hanging from it, and the bride had obviously been stabbed a few times.

Congratulations to the 40 or so couples that got hitched (I was to busy running around marrying people to count). Actually, the term 'couples' isn't really accurate, since there were 2 3some weddings, and one girl married herself (she demanded perfection in a partner). Remember that your marriage is legal every first friday at the Cat Club. If you have any regrets, please email divorces@strangelovesf.com to have them resolved.

HUGE thanks to this month's guests - Merrick, Persephone, and Melting Girl. Merrick drove all the way from LA to be in SF for Strangelove, and it was such a pleasure to see her - and hear her - again. It was great to see Persephone again, too - it's been too long - and the pairing of Persephone and Merrick in the front room was fantastic. And of course it's always a pleasure to work with the Melting Girl again. Thank you all for helping us celebrate the nuptials in style.

I hope to see you all back next month when we hold an official release party for 'REPO! The Genetic Opera", complete with costume contest and cast and crew members from the film. What's that? You've never heard of REPO! The Genetic Opera? Well, imagine Blade Runner and Rocky Horror combined, featuring Ogre from Skinny Puppy, Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, and Paul Sorvino. My description doesn't really do it justice - check out the trailer here:

Bwa-hahahahahahaha!

I mean, rarr!
