Few days ago in an old mining town of Squamish was a very unusual concert/happening. On the 14 of June Entire group of drag queens descended on that little town. Pandemonium! Out of all the places they choose … an abandoned, old ore mine that used to be the back bone of the community way back when. And it was glorious idea – spooky, very acoustic, with entire walls, where the ore was actually excavated, surrounded us on all sites. I am talking few stores high above the gathering platform for guests and artists. Strategically placed lights shown the intricate colours of the rocks – from most abundant copper, to nickel and even gold. As years gone by, resources dwindled and the mine was closed. Most of you know the town by the characteristic vertical massive mountain-rock used by hiking adeventure-seekers. Most would pass the the town on the way to Whistler. I used to do some hiking in this neighborhood toward the mouth of How Sound.

Definitely I was not wearing high heels during these hikes, LOL. Would have fort hat concert – but my injured leg would not allow me. Found a fun way to stress the drag tradition, LOL. Nothing like an old red Chinese woman dress. I am sure I will find some use for it later, too.

Here is some pictures and some short videos from my YouTube channel.
