Welcome to the Big Top – you better behave
The event has gotten bigger than its venue. It was SRO at the Community House. which looked like more than Martha Pitkin’s’stated APCG membership over 350 members. The energy was palpable. According to Bella “we have all had such a terrible winter. This is the official start of summer”
President Coco Love enthused:”What incredible, wonderful energy between the community and the Arts Project. All our contestants do so much for the community, they are all winners”.

Urban Sprawl reflected how many people who used to pass him and nod “hello” now actually came up to chat with him, and talk about things – “It made me feel important but more than that it wasn’t just frivolous. It means a lot to the community – I have spoken with other Queens and they experienced the same thing – I guess I’ll miss that but I will continue, as I have in the past, to be involved with them -…I won’t miss the shoes!!!”
Was he ready for the ceremony?
”I guess so…. I even know the song”.
