Dicey & Paprika Cover Flash Dance Theme Song

Ledcat Paprika

I recorded this during the Dicey & Paprika show last year at Club Cafe. It always makes me smile and I could use a smile this week.

Queerest Cities

Satire Warning. This is not, I repeat this is not a statistically accurate analysis of queer friendliness. It is, however, an interesting glimpse at some non-traditional locations in the nation.
