The first of the articles planned on Jello Biafra's birthday bash, Monday, June 17th at the Rickshaw, focusing on Ani Kyd's short film, I Love You... I am the Porn Queen, to screen that night. (The event will also feature a trip to Nardwuar's video vault, a Jello Biafra spoken word performance, and music with Thee Goblins and Ani's band Fuel Injected .45 - with the idea being that Jello will join both bands onstage for encores, likely of Dead Kennedys' favourites. You wouldn't know from the Straight interview, but Ani was actually self-deprecating about the film in conversation, emphasizing that "We had a lot of things that we wanted to do that we couldn’t, on zero budget… I was happy just getting it done, as my first film" - but I left all of that out; it's a pretty entertaining little film, after all (though it does feel more like a tasty appetizer for a longer feature than a full meal). See Ani, Jello, and makeup man/ producer Toby Lindala being interviewed by Nardwuar on the set of the film here.
