After missing last week, Aaron & Ophelia hit the Copa Bar studio at Urban Mo’s in Hillcrest to get caught up on all things ‘gay’ and ‘gab-worthy.’ Trying to recount this week’s drunken bead-bomb that was Mardi Gras, Ophelia finally admitted she’s no spring chicken but held her own out partying with the rest of the young queens. The discussion went all over the place, from San Diego’s mayoral candidates and taking a Car2Go to Coronation to local community member Allan Spyere‘s release from INS detention, the ongoing Fawkbook changes and this weekend’s BIG Oscar party extravaganza eleganzas. We’re excited about several upcoming events that we’ll be going LIVE at, including MARYAH’s annual Poker Tournament at Eden and, of course, Dining Out For Life. Come April 26, where will you be dining out to fight AIDS? Read More
