Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts in the past few days. The Sin City Siren crew is painting and re-organizing the humble office digs. In our over-zealous attempt to make things fabulous — the walls are a lovely purple and the curtains have tiny sparkles! — we neglected to consider how dismantling our…
It’s been a wild weekend for Las Vegas “Fag Bug” plans and activities! And it’s about to get hotter! On Friday there were about eight of us handing out Fag Bug fliers at First Friday downtown. We got there at 6 p.m. and it was hotter than the surface of the sun! I think it…
I’m excited to announce that my friend and local artist, Jeff Hagen, has created three one-of-a-kind art pieces inspired by the Fag Bug and he’s selling them in a charity auction on Ebay. He plans to donate 50% of the proceeds to Erin’s cross-country journey. And depending on how these auctions go, he’ll continue making…
It’s been a busy day and a lot of amazing things are happening for the Fag Bug project in Las Vegas and with other cool local events: Las Vegas Fag Bug events finalized! We’re having a press conference for Erin and the Fag Bug at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada at…

Good news everyone! Things are really rolling along to get the Fag Bug event off the ground next month. She’ll be here July 26 and 27 so it’s less than 30 days away! I had an incredibly productive meeting last night with members of the local HRC (Human Rights Campaign), which is starting a new…
Well kids, I’m back. Although I admit it’s somewhat reluctantly because that vacation was good stuff. But now it’s on to new and wondrous things … like the frustration of doing the right thing for the planet. Have you noticed the new ad campaigns for compact fluorescent lights (known as CFLs)? Even Walmart has ironically…
Just got word about the Nevada Public Benefit Board hearing tomorrow (Wed.) about domestic partner benefits. A member of the local HRC told me that as of earlier today, the e-mail traffic to the board was 100% against voting to approve domestic partner benefits. While we may have a nasty law in this state that…
Hey everyone, the Nevada Conservation League is urging everyone to contact the governor and encourage him to sign a bill that would help save energy. Here’s the info (and by tomorrow, they mean today/Friday): The legislature has passed AB 396 and the bill is now in front of the governor. The bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman…
Just got off the phone with Erin Davies — such a cool, amazing person! I’m even more excited to bring her Fag Bug message to Las Vegas now! It was inspiring to hear from her how this whole thing has changed her life and that it isn’t as easy as it looks. “I have to…
