More than five years after they began the alternative queer dance party at DC9, Karl Jones and Danny Fowler are saying goodbye to Taint this Sunday, October 11. Summer Camp chatted with Karl to find out why Taint is ending and what’s next for the promoter.

WTF? I love this! It made me pee my pants.

Pappa Bear is full of questions for Summer Camp, including what to do with leftover hard boiled eggs, why underwear combusts, and how to know who is a hooker!

Dear Summer,

Keeping with the kissing theme what do you do when someone is a really bad kisser? I’ve experienced a whole range of sloppy kissing styles that feel more like cave exploration. Can someone re-learn how to kiss? Do you tell the bad kisser or end it? Does it make sense to tell him or her to prevent more bad kisses in the future? How does one go about this?

This Morning Upper might give you a “morning upper!”

This week’s WWSD is a little different. The question is not from a TNG reader who sent me an email. Instead, someone asked me a question last night at a restaurant. I was sitting with some friends, telling them how I write an advice column called What Would Summer Do. We all had a good laugh about this. I mean who would ever listen to advice from ME? I mean c’mon. If you’ve read any of my responses, you know that my advice is hardly helpful. In fact, some of my advice could get you arrested.

Well, this person who overheard part of our conversation leaned over and asked me a question that made me pause. Here is what she said:

Summer: I am planning a Mother’s Day banquet at my church this year, I need all the advice you could give me. Especially Ice-Breakers.

Dear Summer,

I have been dating the same guy for the past four months. We met at a New Year’s Eve party. I really like him, but with the last few warm weekends, I am reminded that summer is around the corner. It’s time to pack away the sweaters, flannel, and all my bulky crap. Is the boyfriend something I only need to pull out of the closet for the winter months? WWSD?!?

Yours Truly,
Brady

This Sunday, non-Eastern Orthodox Christians will celebrate a little-known holiday called Easter. And for those same folks, today is Good Friday. I hope that this CRACK-produced video, The Passion of the Camp, will make your Good Friday a Better Friday! CRACK made this video a couple years ago when it was feeling especially annoyed by Mel Gibson and other religious fanatics. This version tells the passionate story of an egg-obsessed drag queen who is persecuted by the Easter Bunny. Watch for a cameo appearance by TNG’s own Michael. (If starring in this video doesn’t send me straight to hell, I don’t know what will).

What Would Summer Do? is an advice column for TNG readers posted every other Wednesday. Do you have a question for Summer Camp? Send it to her at wwsd@thenewgay.net.

Dear Summer,

When I get drunk enough there is only one thing I want to do: make out with people. Not fuck, not hand jobs, just make out. This often leads to me making an ass of myself in public when I try to kiss people who don’t want to be kissed, or wind up in plain view of the whole bar making out with everyone. How do I curtail myself? Should I curtail myself? Help me!

Sincerely,
Can’t stop kissing
