Beam Me Up, Potty!

I noticed while doing a search that Bodacious Classics isn't on the site. It's a dive bar off of SE Powell where you're bound to find the strange and unusual. Most of the clientel are has-been trekkies who got lost somewhere between the Romulan System and Burbank, California. You can usually toss a few with an actual Klingon (I'm not kidding) and they'll be happy to recite a dirge or two in their native tounge. Just sneeze followed by a nasalated "Ahhhh..." and they'll seem to understand you.

I was shooting a documentary on local paranormal DJ, Clyde Lewis, a few months ago. He was holding a discussion on The Matrix and how it truly does surround us. It sounds unfucking believable and it was, but I got to interview his stripper friend and that's when things got interesting.

I forgot her name, but she worked at the Dolphin and frequently puts on a dance show at Bodacious Classics. She was dressed as, Trinity, and had no problem saying a few words about Clyde in front of the camera (I even think she hinted that she did "video" work and handed me her card). In my drunken state I told her she could do the interview, but she had to have her legs above her head like the full on vice grip sexual position. She agreed and we began shooting. While in her rediculous position I set up the tripod at the appropriate angle and ironically she answered all my questions articulately and professionally. The footage proved useless as my co-producer freaked out a month later and stole all the footage. His name is Curtis and you can visit his site.

Anyway, if you're up for Klingon karaoke or just want to be really fucking amused check out the place.
