CREW BAR + GRILL WARNING: Drinking distilled spirits, beer, coolers, wine, and other alcoholic beverages during quiz taking can cause imparied judgement. Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the

Pub Quiz Night
That Guy by Kirk Williamson
This column’s writing presents an intriguing
challenge: Spin my nearly-hallucinatory
fatigue into literary gold. Let’s see what I can’t
stitch together.
A big, juicy middle finger to Shane at Mary’s Attic
for shooting me square in the back of my head
with his laser-sight rubber dart gun. And if anyone
can find 1,001 uses for big, juicy fingers, Shane’s
your man! Love you, fucker!
A big, juicy apology to Miss Sofia Saffire for not
having my shit together enough to do an interview
for this issue. I wanted to show the community the
softer side of Sofia in anticipation of her hosting
the 2011 Windy City Gay Idol finals Sat., June 18.
Sofia has grown into her new role as host and fits
it like a puzzlingly slender glove. Love her glove at
the finals at Sidetrack. I will be offering vodkasoaked bon mots from the judges’ mic. Let’s hope
Sofia takes mercy on my mortal soul. See the
center spread for your handy Windy City Gay Idol
voting guide.
Suburban? In the mood to vie for a title? Well,
you’re in lady luck, lady. Sat., June 18 also gives you
two—count ‘em, two—opportunities to hang your
head heavy with crown, namely the Miss Gay Joliet
pageant at Maneuvers and the Miss Stonewall
pageant at Stonewall Inn. I may have agreed to
judge the Miss Stonewall joint, which is later the
same night as the Windy City Gay Idol finals. Any
kindly gentlemen out there wanna give me a lift to
Lyons? I shall reward you handsomely.
I promised not to Facebook tag a certain singer/
songwriter in his “brief” debut at Crew. Please
refrain from tagging him as well. Mom don’t need
to see that.
Big ups to Mr. Ouano, Mr. Res-5 and Mr. Meade for
all their work in this issue. I’m saving my strength
for the big Pride issue, coming June 22. Get ready
to see me everywhere in the next few days.
I won’t however see you at Midsommarfest. I’ll be
workin’ Pittsburgh. Look for my travel column in
the aforementioned Pride issue. Consult Moose’s
column on page 10 for all the tasty acts (to see,
not to perform). And look for our booth at the Fest.
Grab a paper, and some love.
Well, not quite gold, huh? Would you give me, at
least, tungsten?

DANCING ABOUT
MIDSOMMARFEST
NOT IN MIDSUMMER: DISCUSS
gets tricky. You have figure out how you can see
the amazing cover band Rock Candy, featuring
Molly Callinan (Cat Fight), the sexiest frontwoman
in Chicago, then have time to squeeze in the
always sexy Chicago favorite Sixteen Candles and
their crowd-pleasing takes on John-Hughes-era
rock. If you miss them, make sure you get to The
Glenwood’s Pride Day party with Moosebox as the
opener/host [PLUG!].
As I write this I’m staring at a well-worn plastic
beer stein (filled with water--it’s only noon)
and dreaming of six hours from now when my
official street-festival-mojo kicks in with Lincoln
Square’s Maifest. You’d think as one of the biggest
Some festivals seem to load up all the top acts later
in the day. Not Midsommarfest. Sunday kicks off at
2 p.m. with one of my favorite bands. 7th Heaven,
a cover band brimming with way to much talent
and featuring a reality show winner, will blow your

music whores in this town, I’d be dreaming of
Lollapalooza and Pitchfork, but believe it or not,
those are just too much for my wallet, and I’m a
sucker for great local acts served up by one of
Chicago’s zillions of summer street fests.
Last year Andersonville’s Midsommarfest eclipsed
Boystown’s Pridefest and Market Days for me in
terms of good music and hot men: two things
that rule my world. This year it’s looking to make
both look positively gauche. MSF, as I’m calling
mind. If you leave right as the last riff comes from
7th Heaven, you may have time to get to hear the
Brazilian rhythms of Chicago Samba at 3 p.m. for
a great change of pace. Personally after Chicago
Samba I have to go home and walk the dog, but if
you’re raging on, the funk and soul of Bumpus will
chill you out like a cold beer.
Leave it to this fest to give us something for
everyone for the finale. You probably already saw
Sixteen Candles the night before, so skip them

it, kicks off at 11 a.m. on Sat., June 11, and just
two hours after it starts I’ll be front and center for
the rollicking alt-country sounds of Devin & the
Straights. Hang tight there because the acrobatic
Chicago Spirit Brigade—always a crowd favorite—
show how they make cheerleading even gayer,
followed by one of my favorite local acts, The Joans
(think The Cramps and The B-52s opening for The
Smiths in Joan Crawford drag). Then, at 6 p.m. it

on Sunday and check out the truly legendary
al-country god Robbie Fulks with Nora O’Connor.
They’re most likely going to be doing some kids’
stuff too, but no worries. Robbie could sing NWA
covers and still make you miss Hank Williams.
If you want more Sixteen Candles, come see
Moose host them at The Glenwood’s Pride North
Festival June 26 at 4 p.m.

Nightspots Magazine: Hi, Alex. Where are
you from?
Alexsander Freitas: I am from Brazil
near Copacabana beach, in between
there and Ipanema.
NM: So you grew up there?
AF: Yes, and then moved to LA in
2003. It has been about seven
years since I have been back to
Brazil. I hope to go back next
year, maybe for Carnival.
NM: I couldn’t believe
how small Carnival
actually was until I
went there.
AF: Everyone
goes to the
beach. There
are tons of
people but
it is very
compact.
For 24
hours
people are
walking,
dancing and
drinking.
NM: How
did you get
involved in
performing in
adult movies?
AF: I started body
building in 2006. I
tried to become a
pro the year after
so I invested
more time. I was
a personal
trainer at the
time so I was
working
out full
Alexsander Freitas is an up-and-cumming
porn star who has already made a mark,
winning Best Three Way at the Grabbys
recently. He has shot many films for Raging
Stallion Studios and has worked for Hot
House, Falcon and Lucas Entertainment,
among others.

bananas over this Brazilian!
time. In 2008 I stopped after Mr. Muscle Beach
and winning several contests for some health
problems. I started modeling. I took some
pictures with a good friend of mine in New
York and got more comfortable with modeling.
I did my first shoots for websites but my first
video is Adrenaline with Spencer Reed and
Dominic Pacifico. From there I started to do a
lot of movies with Raging Stallion and other
companies.
NM: Do you have a favorite company that
you have worked for?
AF: My favorite is Raging Stallion because I did
most of my videos with them. I feel like they are
my little crazy family. I love Steve Cruz.
NM: Are there any stars you want to work
with but haven’t?
AF: I would like to work with Francois Sagat but
he is not working anymore. Sometimes we chat
on Skype. I would like to work with Spencer
Reed again.
NM: You seem angry in these videos.
AF: I become a little aggressive but it is not like
I want to kill the other person. I have directors
on my back telling me things to do. I would like
to be a little more romantic like when I did My
Brother’s Hot Friend in pool, not a power fuck.
NM: You worked with Michael Lucas before.
AF: It was really tough. One shoot took about 12
hours to finish.
NM: Do you stop for lunch?
AF: Eating is the last thing at 7 pm. Michael
makes a movie with a history then the sex scene
is at the end. They make it in one day but two
days would be better for the model if they split
it in two. But look at the results.
