Hot and Sweaty in Tucson
June 7th, 2008
We are roasting in the heat here on the desert in Tucson. Yes, this is where I saw my first cactus and Kit ate his first prickly pear at La Indita and fell in love hard.
We performed at Wingspan for their queer youth program, Eon Youth. Their audience was fabulous and even came out to the show in the 90+ degree heat to see us. Or maybe they just came for the lemonade and cookies, who knows?

Folks in Tucson were extremely nice despite the killer heat. Geovanna from Wingspan was super wonderful to us before and during our show. And our fabulous host, Becca, was the BEST ever. For reals.
Here’s Becca and two Good Asian Drivers.

Becca and her girlfriend Lauryn ate with us, spent time with us, helped us navigate, and let us stay at Lauryn’s place, making Tucson one of the best and most unforgettable cities we’ve been on this tour.

Tucson was the city where Kit decided to get a crazy haircut. We met a lady working at a cafe and we asked her who cut her hair. She directed us to her sister, Dawn Marie, who we contacted. Here we are in her living room/bedroom getting Kit a funky ‘do.

Kit loves Dawn Marie because of his cut. I love Dawn Marie because she let me play with her cat 18 and kept offering me hats.

Of course, Tucson was a very very very tasty city. We had an excellent Mexican meal. Kit had prickly pear nopalito and I had beef with red sauce.


For some reason, these little potato croquettes remind me of us. Cute and fat.



Writing this makes me hungry already. Till then, this is a very holy looking Melissa Li, signing off.

OMG I need to see this haircut in person.
