T minus 13 hours


We're about to hit the road. Hardcore.
In 13 hours, the big orange box will be packed with 3 wonderers/wanderers, some suitcases, some cameras and a heck of a lot of cookies. And some Elvis tunes. We're heading to Graceland, via Pittsburgh, Louisville, Nashville and then we keep on going to Dollywood, Phill
y and finally home. We're meeting some great folks on the way and we'll be sure to eat every last pulled pork sandwich put in our way.

We've already started our journey... On Saturday we had the pleasure of teaching some RISD students what it takes to be a drag king/ genderbender on stage and sometimes off. Their energy, questions and complete openness astounded us and made us hungry for the road.

And last night, we had the pleasure of meeting with Mal's parents, eating some damn good chicken marsala and learning tidbits of Mal's childhood including an unfortunate mystery involving a Yucca plant.
Stay tuned to this page as we post updates on our journey including some pics and video along the way. We'd say it's going to be a bumpy ride - but we brought pillows with us to avoid that situation!
