  • Philoktetes Redux A.

    I am supposed to be attending the John Jesurun’s PHILOKTETES benefit thing at the Kitchen. I am bummed because I would have liked Julie Atlas Muz to molest me and call me Vanilla Pudding and make me feel like a real Theater Fag. But I got a call from JackDaniel’s™, a muse of an even…
