"Wherever The Queer People Were, That Was Where I Wanted To Be" (with Amelia from Pitney and Amelia's Bitchen Boutique)

Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties - A podcast by lost queer spaces - Wednesdays

Amelia is the co-host of the podcast Pitney and Amelia's Bitchen Boutique - they may be awful, but they’re right!  (Actually, i don’t know if i agree that they are awful or right, bit it’s how they describe themselves on their show so we’re just gonna go with it....) We caught up to talk about the Austin, Texas club The Crossing.  Now, this is one of those situations where, because the club existed before the internet did, there is NOTHING about this venue online. Which is kind of weird when you think about all the crap that IS online, but also a bit of a reminder of the importance of this project to document our memories...  We talk about letting go of toxic friends, the flouncing, bouncing flaccid dick dance of male strippers, and - one of my all-time favourite subjects - the universal appeal of scuzzy, grotty, dirty nightclubs....  Do you have any memories of The Crossing, 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!
