[Stew Padasso]

He is out of control nuts! Look at the hate mail this guy provokes.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

LOL...!

OTOH I had no idea Kimo's in SF closed!!! I'm so OUT of the loop!

Kimos was this weird gay club, I never went there but it had some very very cool and edgy (mostly straight) bands there.

Subject: Boycott the dadafest: animal cruelty!

I went to the Dadafest last night, and I was horrified to witness live
animal cruelty onstage in the name of art. There was an act
performed by "The extreme Elvis" in which six live chickens were
released on stage.

The extreme Elvis had a woman pour corn all over his body and
then the chickens were placed on him to eat the corn. The
chickens were then tossed into the auidence and kicked across
stage like footballs. The extreme Elvis proceeded to run into the
auidence and throw the terrifed, screaming chickens at audience
members.

I witnessed a chicken's wing being broken, as it sat there, with its
beak open, shaking and in shock. I was then equally horrified to
witness a woman onstage grab a chicken by its neck, in her
mouth, and shake it around. I heard shouts from audience
members stating, "Bite its head off!" I also heard gasps from other
audience members around me when they realized the chickens
were real.

This was extremely upsetting to me and the audience members
around me. When I attempted to express my concern around this
to "KB", the woman who put the show together, she arrogantly
and unapologetically exclaimed, "Some would argue that what is
enjoyable is not dada." She also told me that she would "book the
extreme Elvis again, and that she didn't know what i wanted her to
say."

I was outraged, as the Somarts gallery, where this event was
located is a *city-run gallery*, and animal cruelty is *against the
law.*

"KB" was unapologetic, but she must be held accountable. I
would appreciate any advise that people have about this disturbing
display of barbarism in the name of art. I have already contacted
animal care and control. What other steps do you recommend that
I take to prevent this from happening again?

Thanks in advance,

"ST"

Maybe I shouldn't bring this up, but after looking at some of the "concert" photos, I have to ask: Where is his penis? Where are his band's penises? I can only find one on one band member.

[Stew Padasso]

He should definitely be careful, one of those chickens may mistake his penis for a piece of corn.

[MotleyGirl70]

Looks like Elvis had too many buffalo wings and brewskis in his time.

This is the look of a heart attack waiting to happen.

Yikes!

[MotleyGirl70]

Pingski!

[MotleyGirl70]

LOL! Where do up come up with this stuff.

[Cagey]

Thank you very much.

[MotleyGirl70]

It's not you, is it? You can tell me, I'll still be your friend.

[Stew Padasso]

Well I just watched the 'Love Me chicken Tender' video and it is very disturbing. However, I did not see them kicking the chickens around like footballs. The video was poor quality though.

[Stew Padasso]

"LOL! Where do up come up with this stuff."

You gotta know where to look and it ain't pretty...my bookmarks.

[Stew Padasso]

Do you have a high speed internet connection? I got something for ya!

[socal_parrot]

Where is his penis?

A hunk-a hunk-a burnin' cocktail wienie.

[KneelBeforeZod]

Death trap places like Kimos scare me. (fires!)Not that I wouldn't go...

ps how about The Verve. I think they're brit(pop)

[I_Love_My_Husband]

The Verve no longer exist, but Richard Ashcroft (the singer) has been doing great stuff imho and he's pretty popular there.
