The International Bear Rendezvous Presents: An Evening With Kathy Griffin

Saturday, February 16th, The Castro Theater, San Francisco

SOLD THE HECK OUT!

To raise funds for the Rainbow World Fund, Lyon Martin Women’s Heath Services, and the Bay Area Young Positives.

I have been absent from reviewing lately. Yes, I know Bad Pig! and I am so friggin’ behind Sybil is gonna take an axe to my rose bushes, I just know it. So I need to make this up to her.  So, I scored me some insider tickets,

Not just any tickets mind you.

THE TICKETS OF THE YEAR. Kathy Griffin for one night only at The Castro Theater. This is like Kismet! This was HUGE! I mean if any of you watch the My Life On The D-List on Bravo (the better Gay Cable Channel), then you know Kathy and her Gays. Well, this was the biggest bunch of furry Gay Men on the planet all packed into The Castro Theater worshipping at the feet of the hippest comic on television. It was Love Incarnate.

See, Kathy is not actually on the D-List. She is loved by the Gays, like we love us some Madonna. So despite whatever you have heard, Oprah and Barbara Walters live in complete and utter fear of Kathy because they know the secret of all media power is Gay Lovin’.

So there I was right smack dab in the middle of THE MEDIA EVENT OF THE YEAR. It was like Hillary Clinton making her first of two presidential acceptance speeches and then introducing the country to her lesbian lover and new First Lady. WOW! Oh, Steve Wozniak was there too.

So, she comes on stage after Fuzzy, the IBR President, makes his announcements and does the typical Gay Event deal of a raffle ticket drawing. Why must all Gay Events include the raffle ticket drawing??? I mean, unless you are giving away a free orgy with the entire Gay Porn Star roster of TitanMen then I am so not interested. Oh, they were there too. Looking absolutely hairy and wonderful. Gotta love them TitanMen. Yes anyone who even wishes they knew someone in San Francisco was there. Get over it!  I am golden!

Anyway, she points out to the audience and says, “Hey that’s Steve Wozniak!” (they are dating) Then she points at the Gay Porn Star sitting right next to him and says. “Get your freakin’ hands off the Billionaire Bear bitch, he’s mine!” Then she smiles at all of us and says, “Are your gays all upset at you because you got tickets and they didn’t?” and the house came down.

It was magic! She had us in the palm of her petite manicured hands and she knew it. 

I did not know Dr. Laura’s son got caught over in Iraq shooting Iraq civilians and taking pictures with them like hunting trophies and posting them on the internet. That gives a whole new meaning to the catch phrase “I am my kid’s mom.” Karma.  She’s a bitch.

We got a full walk-through of the ‘Oprah falls off the weight loss wagon’ scandal, and her subsequent ‘Mississippi madness’ and ‘Nut Case Britney Spears snubbing Doctor Phil.’ Oh, and Kathy’s been banned from The View AGAIN! over the whole Barbara Walters admitting to using Astroglide thing. When will Barbara learn she is old news and step aside for Kathy to take that hallowed helm?

Hallmark moments were shared by all. Kathy Griffin admitted to not only meeting Liza Minnelli but attending some sort of hilarious Canadian casino hotel room pajama party where Liza admitted to Kathy that she had done the dirty with Bob Fosse.

All in all, An Evening With Kathy Griffin is nowhere near a D-List ticket. In fact the lady is funny, pretty, real, and smart and just a plain good person inside and out. I just know she and her manager Tom are humping like the proverbial bunnies while poor Steve is clueless. Allegedly!

You go girl!

Kathy Griffin gave her all for Gay Charity and she has now attained Madonna star status. If you have any chance in this life of seeing her… beg, borrow, steal, hold people hostage, and just do whatever you need to do to go.
