"The Sad, Sad Little Queer Punk With No Friends" (with Eric La Febre)

It's the crossover episode that none of you asked for (but I promise you're going to love it!)! If you follow me on social media (and, if you don't, why not? @lostspacespod on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook), you will have seen earlier this week that I was a guest on the NotStalgia podcast. Now, this is a really cool show, where hosts Jess and Eric discuss an original film and then they discuss its remake, and contrast and compare the two... The episode that I was on was a discussion about 'Boys in the Band', that classic queer film that was recently remade for Netflix. So, why am I telling you this when all you want to do is hear about a lost queer space? Well, today's episode return the favour! I was lucky enough to be joined by Eric La Febre, one of the hosts of the NotStalgia show, who came on to reminisce about the lost San Franciscan punk gay bar Lucky Thirteen. Along the way I learn a lot about the fine art of cruising, we talk all about sloppy snogging in nightclub toilets, and we have a really interesting conversation about the idea versus the reality of community.... Do you have any memories of the Lucky Thirteen, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!

Also, make sure to listen to NotStalgia wherever you find podcasts, and give them a wee follow on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/notstalgia.pod/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/NOTstalgia_pod) too (although, to be honest, they're a bit rubbish at keeping their twitter updated)!
