You remember that time I interviewed Boy George? **Drool** It’s been a year, people! A YEAR! And some change…but I remember.

Love you, Boy George! Welcome back to Up Your Alley. I’m happy you’re non-incarcerated right now. And I’m even more happy that a friend of mine sent me this quote:

“He looks like a dwarf who’s been dipped in a bucket of pubic hair.” —Boy George, on Prince

expenses. One of those groups is my beloved choir, The Vancouver Lesbian and Gay Choir. We’re entering our twentieth season with big dreams… and almost-empty coffers.
