Homofication: Adam Van Koeverden – come on, say his surname out loud…it sounds a lot like…

Quick update: guess who was denied access at tonight’s Vancouver Queer Film Festival screenings? Me? It couldn’t possibly be…oh wait, it was. Starry-eyed reporter much? You got my number. For some reason, that week I spent fighting tooth and nail for a media pass so I could cover the festival and devote my next print article to promoting queer film…well, I guess that’s not happening now. I did see this guy at Cinemark Tinseltown.

David Charlie was promoting one of the VQFF entries (Mulligans) and he was standing right beside me, listening to me explain how I was a local reporter covering the movie, please let me in so I can review, look at my media pass, etc. to the well-meaning VQFF staff…but alas, to no avail. He then got to witness my eventual Mariah Carey-inspired meltdown. If I wasn’t so angry, I would’ve asked him for a ticket/what his thoughts were about the movie he was starring in but I wasn’t going to get to see.

In hindsight, I should have stripped down to my manties and passed out popsicles to the crowd. That Mariah. Is there anything she can’t do?

Okay enough. The Olympics are on.

Newflash: Canadians are hot.

Take Adam Van Koeverden. His semi’s were fierce and in light of my VQFF “experience” tonight, I also had the pleasure of watching him in the finals instead of watching queer film.

Another homofication candidate if I’ve ever seen one.

Adam placed 7th and I was happy to watch him doing it:

Listen, Not For Public Use…Quit bossing me…or else

Seriously – is there something in the water up here or what?

The cover of Alice Stoehr's Again, Harder. The book has black letters on a lilac background. In the middle of the cover is a red rectangle with a black line drawing of it. The drawing is of two figures entangled; they have human bodies but animal heads. The same image serves as the background behind the image of the book cover.
