The Castro is known for many things. Referred to as 'œAmerica’s anus' by Dave Chappelle, it’s a cozy little spot where you can pretty much get away with whatever you want. With all of the bright lights, countless bars and fairies skipping around the streets, I like to think of it as a chunk of Vegas in San Francisco.  And that’s why I’m so excited to skip around at the Castro Street Fair tomorrow. It’s kind of like Folsom, but a lot more clothes and a lot less semen. It didn’t make Monica’s cut for the top 9 festivals, but like I said, there’s not much semen and I think she’s kinda kinky like that.

There will be live performances and tons of give aways, and vendors setting up booths including yours truly. I’ll be there volunteering for my work, a doctor and I will be doing FREE skin checks for melanomas. '˜Tis the season to check for lesions, cancer is such a buzzkill! It’s a great way to make sure you’re in the clear while giggling with a few queers. Come by and get naked!

Ryan Miller was raised in a small, quaint village named Portland, Oregon before spontaneously packing two suitcases, scrounging up $300 and catching a flight to San Francisco. Judging from his garbage, he is a connoisseur of Sun Chips and rather inexpensive wine. His personal goals are to refrain from hailing and accepting rides in random cars as well as greatly reduce the amount of hugs he provides for the homeless community. While touring Jamaica and prompted for his opinion on the prevalence of TB in third world countries, Miller eagerly asked, "They have Taco Bell here?"
