How entertaining ...

It seems that the outside promoter of Gay Day at Great America is responsible for organizing the "entertainment". This year's promoter is still kinda new at this and while the acts they brought in were amusing, I hope they sort out a more compelling and enjoyable mix of acts if they promote next years' event.

DJ Dancing

The main stage area was pretty desolate until the ride action settled down a bit. By the time we were ready to get our groove on, they had Philidelphia DJ Joe Gauthreaux playing the most tired , generic, euro-trash I've ever heard. The music was really bland and if dancing was more of a priorty, I would have been way more bummed. Instead, I got to talk to friends and make a couple of new ones!

Invertigo's Drag Stage

On our way to Invertigo, we discovered our pal and SF chantuese, Veronika Klause performing on a small stage. She sang a couple of numbers and we decided to enjoy the rest of her set while in the nearby line for Invertigo.

We walked by the area a while later, we returned to the area and found that the Trannyshack kids had taken over the stage after Veronika's set.

Ggreg and I enjoyed a couple of the lip-sync acts before moving on to our next ride...

Christine W

We walked back to the mainstage area just in time to catch Christine W's encore number. I like some of her older material so I was bummed that we missed the majority of her set. We did see her perform her new hit, a re-make of "Some Lovin'". The song is OK, sounds a bit like a bland remix of the Murk Boy's original track. The best part was when she introduced the band, then the dancers, the flaggers and the sound board operator. Things got surreal as she brought her personal assistant, make-up artist and a drag queen from Las Vegas up on stage to take a bow and address the crowd.
