Paris is Burning is on Netflix Instant

You should watch it as soon as possible if you haven't already seen it.

You're right. Everybody DOES need to see this and I haven't even seen it. It was profiled in 50 Documentaries to See Before You Die. The little bit I saw of it reminded me of Streetwise, that documentary about Seattle street kids I always talk about.
Did you know that this is where Vogue-ing came from?

Of course I know that! I'm pretty sure the way I found PiB was by people complaining that Madonna never really acknowledged that scene.

I want to see Streetwise something fierce. I know it's on YouTube, but watching something for too long on there is torture. Netflix needs it.

It is torture. I have the VHS and a VCR if you want to borrow either or both. Or I could uncrazy myself and have people over. What I want to do is buy one of those VHS to DVD converter things and then I'd have a digital copy that I could give away. It's not even available digitally and I don't know that it ever will be.

I have a VCR that I haven't hooked up since I moved in with Garrett. I probably should. I'd definitely come over to see it and your angry-looking kitteh. I definitely recommend getting it converted to DVD and making lots of copies because your tape will probably tie itself in knots when you least expect it.

Alan might still have the VHS->DVD player/copier.

I didn't even think to ask if anybody already had a converter. Thanks.

Saw an advance screening back in the day via my neighbor who I barely knew. She was new in town and knocked on my door and invited me. We had met in the laundry room once before that. And she was also from AZ. #weirdstory

When did you move here? It's from 1990.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

Wait, I am thinking of Wigstock. Ha.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I do, but I never use it for dubbing! I bought it years ago with all these big plans, and mostly just use it to play stuff.

But I will copy your movie if you want, I need to see it again anyway!

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

Also, adding it to my instant queue because it has been ages since I saw it.

Now I will finally get to see the original dancer that PiB-guy from Pulse was always imitating.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I wonder what that dude's up to.

I was so crushed to find out Pulse has closed.

ugh I know. Still to this day just about the best club I have ever been to.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

There and End-Up. Totally excellent clubs.

OK I must ask, why is it a must see? I have seen it, a couple of times in fact. But a must see?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Guess you didn't like it as much as I did.

[cattycritic.livejournal.com]

Yeah actually, I don't know if End Up is still good; I haven't been there in years. Once I'm in Tha City I will be checking it out again. Edit: and actually when I typed that I was thinking of End Up, also.

watching it now. it's kind of amazing. one of the things I love about being back in Oklahoma is we still have a thriving drag scene.
