On Friday, Oct. 2, the Mine Shaft Tavern hosted the annual He-She Bang, which could be called the biggest event in Madrid all year. The Bang, traditionally a mix of variety show, talent show and drag show, invites the eternally creative residents of Madrid to come out and perform to benefit charity. This year’s proceeds from the event’s $20 tickets went to the Madrid Emergency Medical/Dental Fund (in lieu of that healthcare reform we’ve all been waiting on). The evening was organized and hosted by Sleam.
SFR was there to capture the event; check out the slide show below, and past the jump are videos of some of the best acts.
This is a very special edition of the Eyedropper. We brought our cameras along for SFR’s 35th Anniversary Summer Blast Block Party at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, where there was so much to see. If you weren’t there, you should have been. Try harder next time. Here’s the best of what you missed.
What does the guv do now that he has all that free time not being secretary of state or commerce? Dance! Dance like he’ll never dance again.
He fails to mention his new passion on twitter, only saying something about “1st annual state tribal summit at Acoma Pueblo,” and everyone knows there’s no such thing as a 1st annual anyway. Come clean Bill.

You love being a punching bag. First off, Jonathan: We don't decide to print or not print letters based on whether we agree or don't agree with them.

People like Kokesh are exactly what this country needs right now. Someone who stands on principle regardless of how their party establishment feels. H
