Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - Well, the Palm Springs experience was extraordinary in many ways. Not for the city so much, but for the endless frolic that is Q Television. During one live TV interview with (in)famous circuit promoter Jeffrey Sanker, I yapped about his history at Studio 54 in the early days. The show’s other host—who’s an offbeat comic—asked Jeffrey if Easter weekend for the White Party was in celebration of Jesus. Sanker pointed out he’s Jewish and simply picked a popular holiday weekend for his gregarious gatherings. Co-host responded, “Well, your people killed our Lord, Jesus!” Long pause. You could hear a mosquito buzzing a mile away. Jeffrey Sanker simply gulped, then blinked. Then blinked, gulped, gulped, and blinked some more.
I jumped in with the classic WASP cocktail party rescue of “what he really intended to say was obviously….”

Tuesday, March 22, 2005 - Day two in Palm Springs with Q Televison Network. We're covering the annual gay bacchanalia called the Dinah shore Golf Classic (lesbians) and the infamous White Party (gay men). Q, which is based in Palm Springs, California, has built a massive state-of-the-art set inside an open-air, cylindrical Mexican restaurant, right downtown. Multiple crews have been brought in from LA to put together this massive TV production which has several live satellite trucks stationed around town.


Today I went live from Century Palm Springs, a clothing-optional resort in Warm Sands area of town. Imagine being on camera with a nervous guest while naked European (guess how I figured that out?) boys tanned themselves nakedly from both corners of your eyes. I was amazed by my own discipline, muzzling the easy remarks that begged release. Unlike radio with requires limited equipment to pull off, TV means at least 6 people with you at all times, a microwave truck, and endless cell-phoning. After the sun went down, I travelled back to the set and co-anchored several segments on their afternoon show called On Q Live. Being a bit of a techie, I also had to check out the 22 million dollar satellite truck--an outsized 18-wheeler with multiple interior high-tech control rooms. It seriously looked like NASA, but better. Banks and banks of monitors, staffs of crew people pushing endless rows of blinking buttons, and still another crew wearing headsets and clicking timers.

Q Television Network has beaten all the other gay “channels” out of the gate. They're even publicly traded on Wall Street (QBID). This massive undertaking is but one of many that are planned. And On Q Live is a daily show from 6:30-9:30 p,m. So far, the network’s on in Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston. Seattle’s next and so is Direct TV.

I’m part of the show every day this week, starting sometime around 4:30 pm (PT). This link will take you a free live Webcast they’re offering daily. http://www.qtelevision.com/main/onqlive/
