"What's So Terrible About Gay Clubbing?" - with Edward Miskie Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
-
- Sexuality
So, if you've ever listened to this show and thought to yourself 'queer clubbing is not as good as all these people seem to be remembering' then:
Firstly, maybe this show isn't for you....
Secondly, you'll be glad you stuck it out because this week we're doing something different!
Yup, we're complaining about how rubbish queer clubbing is!
And, who is joining me to be a big ol' grump? Well, it's the singer/actor and writer of the book 'Cancer, Musical Theatre, & Other Chronic Illnesses' Edward Miskie!
Edward first moved to New York City in the mid-00s, and tried to embrace queer nightlife, including lost spaces like Splash and Vlada, but ultimately decided.... well, he'd really rather not. Along the way he became a sole survivor of a rare Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which, as you can imagine, went right ahead and turned his life upside down.
We talked all about the terrible life lessons we learnt from Sex and the City, how a cancer diagnosis changes your perception, and all the many, many things that are wrong with the queer scene...
Do you have any memories of terrible, terrible queer clubbing that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
You can also find me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lostspacespod), Instagram (www.instagram.com/lostspacespod) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/lostspacespod)
