Sub-Evil Boy did a great job, and I was totally proud of him. Well done sir! His great “Taco Man” was a well deserved hit. (There are rumors of another performance of “Taco Man” at this year’s Pride Week Drag Show…)
A final reminder that you can still donate on-line at our LAF site. Thanks a ton to everyone!
