Pussy Faggot! Invades Europe — With Your Help

Who you calling Pussy, Faggot?

For several years now, queers bored with the homogenized nightlife options in New York City have boogied down at parties thrown by independent curator Earl Dax, especially his latest endeavor, PUSSY FAGGOT!, which rounds up the best queer performers and artists in New York and throws them together in a madcap melange of high-caliber eclecticism and DIY spirit. And now, he's taking the show on the road -- to Europe!

In two weeks for two weeks, from April 28–May 12, gays from Porto to Berlin, Zagreb to Dublin -- six countries in total! -- will get a taste of the art-spiked Kool-Aid as Lady Miss Kier (of Deee-Lite), M Lamar, Gio Black Peter, Colin Self, and Shane Shane team up with a variety of Europe-based performers including Jonny Woo, Joel Gibb (of the Hidden Cameras), CockNBull Kid and Italian drag troupe Eyes Wild Drag.

While Dax is characteristically optimistic and excited about the tour, he's also the first to admit that the task of singlehandedly organizing an international tour is daunting. "There is no label, there is no booking agent, there is no press agent, there is no tour manager. There's me," says Dax of the two-week, seven-city tour. "I'm super-excited about the opportunity to it presents to connect with other queers across Europe, but it is definitely the most ambitious project I've ever undertaken."

To that end, Dax has created an PUSSY FAGGOT! European Tour IndieGoGo campaign to help cover hard costs. Supports can donate through this Saturday, April 14 at midnight. Rewards include a personal post card sent to you from the tour; the classic PUSSY FAGGOT! tote bag, and a tour DVD directed by Gio Black Peter. You can even have legendary performance artist Penny Arcade record your outgoing voicemail!

If that's not reason enough, here are "5 More Reasons Pussy Faggot! Needs to Go to Europe"

1. While the "international queer community" is usually internet-based these days, PUSSY FAGGOT! Europe provides a rare chance for an evening of international queer culture—IRL, as the kids say, In Real Life.
2. The PUSSY FAGGOT! Europe tour allows queer artists from around the world to meet, collaborate, inspire one another, and share the spoils with spectators.
3. Everyone involved with PUSSY FAGGOT! has already slept with everyone they possibly could have in New York.
4. In a world in which everything, including gay nightlife, is increasingly corporatized, it's more important than ever to support independent art events.
5. If Mitt Romney is elected, we'll all be in dire need of husbands with EU passports. Better make sure the nightlife is interesting!
