by Eric Andrews-Katz -
SGN A&E Writer
I first met Diane and Jacob Anderson-Minshall in Palm Springs, California, at the yearly Bold Strokes Books authors' event held there.

'Mimosas with Mama' fits nicely at Unicorn
by Shaun Knittel -
SGN Associate Editor
I'm going to come clean: I didn't set out to review 'Mimosas With Mama' for this week's SGN. Some friends and I stopped by to support DJ Disco Vinnie, who, obviously, DJ's the show. But that's just it. Neither he, nor anyone else in the show, just 'does' one thing. Something happened w more

It's getting hot in Vegas - 'Sin City' heats up as a Gay travel destination
by Albert Rodriguez -
SGN Travel Writer
It's ridiculously hot, noisy, crowded, somewhat expensive, and dotted with massive hotels that individually employ more people than the population of most small towns. Sounds like a place you'd want to avoid, right? Nope. We're talking about Las Vegas, one of the most exciting destinat more

by Sara Michelle Fetters -
SGN A&E Writer
THE BLING RING
Opens June 21
I'm not sure what to write about Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring. The movie is as observationally distant as many of her previous films, especially Somewhere and, to a lesser extent, Lost in Translation, looking at its vapid, m more
