Admittedly not GREAT photos but was so, so delighted to have Australian national treasure Jim Sharman roll up to last night's Golden Age Cinema & Bar screening of his superlative The Night the Prowler (1978) and throw down a lovely off-the-cuff Q & A. Very special night.

Magic still happens – a huge thanks to the great Jim Sharman, 💜💜🎀 ȶɦɛ ȶɦɨռӄɛʀ🎀 💜💜 and Static Vision for a very special night to remember!

Wish I coulda been in Australia last night for 💜💜🎀 ȶɦɛ ȶɦɨռӄɛʀ🎀 💜💜's secret film series w/ Static Vision It was the 4th time my Movie Orgy-esque eurodance compilation NRG2000 has played. Might show it again here soon. Hmm.

Thank you to the Commonwealth of Australia for housing my putrid carcass for the last 2 1/2 weeks, and to Static Vision for arranging my thrilling whistlestop tour of this proud nation. The Sweet East opens today in Australia and the Ukraine. Enjoy, party people.
