 above...\n..\nAmerica’s Most Unwanted will reveal the other side of 
 growing up in state care: strength, courage and endurance. In addition to 
 changing our view of foster and group home kids by hearing of their 
 successes as adults, America’s Most Unwanted will also expose the 
 additional challenges gay youth face to succeed under state care. Blending 
 interviews with historic and recent footage of the interview subject’s 
 lives, America’s Most Unwanted will show former foster and group home 
 kids who are healthy and reveal their methodology for survival.\n\nAbout 
 the Performers:\nPenny Whistle began as a wee little drag king, when she 
 co-founded the Bay Area's first boybands: first with BoyWonder, and then 
 later The Transformers. In 2004 she decided that she'd rather perform on 
 the femmier side of things, so she joined up as an original member of 
 Diamond Daggers for a few years, before heading off with fellow dancers 
 Cherry Lix and Daisy Delight to start their dream troupe: all-queer, 
 all-femme, all-mischief, all-fun, all the time! Twilight Vixen Revue is 
 known for being the most low maintenance troupe in the business, and they 
 plan to keep it that way!\nthe infamous Penny Whistle, darling theatrical 
 taskmistress extraordinaire (also found on past stages with local drag 
 troupe The Transformers, and currently found about town as Hermione in 
 Hogwarts Express). \n\n**Drag King w/ Poonie Jones Poonie is a lifetime 
 cross-dresser who was THRUST upon the San Francisco stage, to lip-synch and 
 make adept costume changes, by his devoted drag mom, Landa Lakes. He comes 
 from the tiny Metis village of Tacoma, Washington, where they make Almond 
 Roca candy, boxcars, and paper. He was CONVENIENTLY born in a US Army 
 hospital where they asked Baby Poonie to join the military service, but he 
 politely declined. But he DOES have tidy clothes.\n\n**Twilight Vixen Revue 
 Best of the Bay, 2007! These ladies dazzle audiences with a repertoire of 
 classic Broadway favorites, jazz standards and showgirl glamour. Sharp 
 dancing and exquisite costumes come together with an unforgettable line-up 
 of all-queer starlets who always entertain. \n\n**high powered, sensual 
 dancing. by STEVEE Y\n\n**Live Music w/ Origami: 2006 saw Origami 
 transplanted to San Francisco from Melbourne, Australia where, with a 
 rejuvenated line up, they are currently finalizing their upcoming release 
 LOVERS IN AMERICA mixed by Alex Newport (engineer for Mars Volta, At the 
 Drive In etc.). Combining the raw energy of punk rock and no wave with the 
 pop sensibilities of 60’s surf Origami’s front woman Rhonda Simmonds 
 has gained a reputation as one of the most dynamic performers around, 
 passionate ‘call and response’ vocals with angular tag-team guitar / 
 bass lines of Natalie White and Ilana Goldbag backed by the incredible 
 driving beats of drummer Matthew Snyder, Origami love making the kids 
 dance. Origami released their debut album Please Exit Quietly in late 2003, 
 the first single 'She's got the Rhythm' received national and international 
 radio play the band followed this with an extensive four-month tour of the 
 USA, Australia and Europe. During those four months the band supported and 
 toured with the Breeders, Sleater-Kinney, the Von Bondies, Mates of State 
 and The Gossip to name a few around the globe. Origami then released 
 Cruising for a Bruising a little over a year later This EP contained the 
 single, "Frisco Disco" which received high rotation on Australia's biggest 
 youth radio station Triple J, their second single ‘O Beach Party’ (also 
 received high rotation on music video show 'Rage'). The band packed its 
 bags and did a whirlwind tour of Japan ending the tour in Tokyo alongside 
 Melt Banana. The touring schedule did not let up and when the band returned 
 home they were asked to support The Organ (Canada) on their tour of 
 Australia and then invited to play the biggest touring festival the Big Day 
 Out alongside other Australian bands such as Wolfmother and international 
 acts The Beastie Boys. In July-August 2005 during the relocation and 
 drummer search the band were invited to support Le Tigre alongside 
 Electrelane in the USA. Since relocating to San Francisco, Origami have 
 played alongside bands including Be Your Own Pet, The Grates and Erase 
 Eratta and are busy earning themselves a growing following in their new 
 hometown. \n\nAward Winning DRAG KINGS, Delicio Del Toro & Jay Walker doing 
 some hot fagalicious dancin.. He's a tall, dark, and handsome café con 
 leche heartthrob who was kicked out of Menudo for one too many pelvic 
 provocations. A recovering catholic school boy who once dreamt about 
 moonlighting upon bended knee, Delicio Del Toro, has a weakness for culo 
 shaking, uniforms, and gay-ass music. He's shaken his well-endowed bon-bon 
 throughout the Trans Francisco Gay Area having a flabulously fagtastic time 
 with Jay Walker & The CockRockers, CHUBB, The Transformers, Citizen Kings, 
 and Girlz 2 Men.\nDT will dance for food or drink . . . anytime, anywhere. 
 In addition to being a big sucio homoqueer, he's also a Bruiser bad boi, 
 butt rock serenader, flagging aficionado, stubborn bull, rump roaster, 
 dork-er out-er, and devoted faggy flaco fan.\n\nDJ Jenny Hoyston: Not only 
 does Hoyston front one of the best bands to come out of the Bay Area: Erase 
 Errata and run her own project, Paradise Island she has outstanding taste 
 in a wide range of music. Hoyston always plays everyone's favorites no 
 matter what the crowd; be prepared to dance-off!\n\nJay Walker made his 
 debut in the San Francisco drag king scene after spending time performing 
 in Eugene and Portland, Oregon and St. Louis, Missouri. Originally from 
 Miami, Florida, Jay Walker co-founded the St. Louis-based drag king troupe, 
 The Bent Boyz, while attending graduate school. Recently crowned SF Drag 
 King 2005 & Mr. Trannyshack 2004, Jay Walker is best known as a flamboyant, 
 genderfucking faggot with an edgy, sexy stage presence and a penchant for 
 tear-away costumes that he can rip off during performances. When he is not 
 performing, Jay's alter ego Jeannie devotes time to research on transgender 
 health issues, intersex activism, bikram yoga, and learning the art of 
 trapeze. Having a little brother in Iraq as part of the Marine Corps makes 
 this event and performance extremely personal. \n\nphoto credit: Poonie
