On the level you're a little devil (but I'll soon make an angel of you.)--Ragtime ditty, 1918

The Hells Angels left Eureka Springs on Sunday morning in a cloud of exhaust and badass attitude. Curtain call. Set change.

Enter stage left: Simmering Summer Diversity revelers and their faithful, helpful saviors-- the Jericho Riders-- who will not be here to protest anything, no not anything at all, you understand. The Jericho Riders simply intend to «storm the gates of Hell» (as they put it), serve the Lord, and game our «sinful» souls, with a full courtier press.

We won't say, «stay tuned,» because we do want you to touch that dial, turn off the TV, and c'mon down, up or over to Eureka Springs for Diversity Weekend and Saturday's party in Basin Park.

Some of us will be kissing, others will be praying, perplexed tourists will be observing the scene with puzzled expressions, furrowed brows and o-shaped mouths--and everyone's predilection will be synchronized to the live pornabillly soundtrack of the Mountain Sprouts.

Rat those beehives high, boys and girls. Don the tiara. Make an entrance. We'll see you in the park, high noon August 4th, for the best little homo hoedown tent revival in Arkansas. One way or another, everybody will be speaking in tongues this weekend.

This just in: Announcing, the second coming of Artist Norma Ryley. Heads up to our favorite preacher. Rev. Wilson--this art is for you.

As faithful readers of the Fayetteville Free Weekly might remember, our favorite preacher said he wanted to see Eureka Springs marketed as a, «Victorian village with Victorian values.» No problem. As luck would have it, we can fulfill your fantasy this very weekend, Rev. Wilson.

Queen Victoria, Herself, was fond of drawing and collecting male nudes. She liked to give male, nude, Victorian Values artwork to her husband, Prince Albert.

(Yes, merry pranksters, we do have Prince Albert in a can. Visit the White River Tobacco Company on upper Spring Street, two doors down from the post office.)

Artist Norma Ryley will display her hot, Victorian Values artwork at the Eureka Live Beer Garden, Saturday and Sunday, 10-6'ish. Come for the show; stay for Collide on Saturday night.

If you've been keeping up with your daily dose of Gay News, you know what you have to do to participate in Eureka's Domestic Partnership Registry: Get thee to the Carroll County Courthouse no later than 4:30 PM on Friday, August 3rd to register. Every choice after that is optional, and there are plenty of options. Check this link for more party planning and helpful advice:
