Come back with us to the days of mimeographed and photocopied booklets filled with writing and art of often terrible quality! Fanzines showcased all the raw enthusiasm of fandom with very little editorial gatekeeping until the rise of crappy Geocities web pages made them financially impractical.

Hear us doing dramatic readings and even SINGING, at least when we aren’t laughing! We remember Pitney’s old friend Vivian (may she rest in peace) and share a story about our own attempt at creating a zine. And then we give you a song.

Who the heck are Pitney and Amelia? A gay guy and his fat friend talking about everything! We've got 40 YEARS of stories to share about stuff we love, stuff that annoys us, people we've known, places we've been, and things we've seen. Geeky, silly, and always opinionated. NAMES ARE CHANGED TO PROTECT THE GUILTY!

We may be awful, but we're right!

Here, queer, and in your ear. Every other Friday.

The Bitchen Boutique is all about mental health and openness and honesty and if you're in crisis and in the US, call or text 988, or go to 988lifeline.org to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. And if you just need some friends, you've got two right here.

The Year of Us continues with quite the shindig! This week, we're remembering the huge parties we used to throw back in the '90s. We're talking costumes and decorations and tapping kegs and inventing cocktails and burning bras on sticks. Grab yourself a Think Pink and a slice of brain nivernaise and enjoy the party!
