WrestleCade Weekend 2015 was comprised of Showcase of Champions on Friday November 27, WrestleCade FanFest on Saturday November 28, AML Wrestling LIVE! television taping was held during WrestleCade FanFest and WrestleCade was held on Saturday night. All of the events were held at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, NC. Here are a few of the moments from those events. Enjoy.

This April I went to the annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend festival at The Orleans Hotel and Casino for the first time since 2019. (This gap was mainly down to factors like coronavirus and being made redundant / starting new jobs over the years. I’ve been regularly attending on and off since something like 2003). I was reuniting with and splitting a room again with my old friend Kevin from California (the artist formerly known as Kevin from New Orleans), plus some newbies / VLV virgins: my friends Louise (henceforth referred to by my nickname for her “Weezie”) and London-based German couple Knut and Anne-Kathrin (the In-Kraut!). Anyway, here is my unexpurgated account – disgustingly frank and revoltingly candid!
I arrived evening of Wednesday 17 April and caught up with Kevin over the first of many (many) beers at The Alligator bar of The Orleans.
Thursday (day one):
Kevin and I went to The Golden Tiki that afternoon for Mai Tais. (Well, Kevin had his customary Three Dots and a Dash). Gratifyingly, The Golden Tiki was heaving (all the tables were already reserved, so we drank at the bar). Great to see that this amazing venue is clearly thriving.
Then: the LGBTQIA+ meet up between 6 pm – 7:30 pm featuring drag queen DJ Lady Laverne all the way from Brighton! This was the queerest most out-and-proud VLV to date. The event has always featured its share of old-school butch / femme lesbian couples (my favourite kind!), but I’d never seen more trans and nonbinary folk before. (Interestingly, I’ve also never seen more therapy dogs before). The LGBTQIA+ mixer was a triumph, and the hetero attendees were mostly totally blasé about it. In the words of Divine as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray: “The times, they’re a-changin’. And the answer is blowin’ in the wind.”
Both Anne-Kathrin and Knut, and Weezie arrived and found us at the mixer. The party had well and truly started!
Musical highlight: The Spuny Boys – rockabilly heartthrobs from France.

Bumped into these two lads on the Liffey Boardwalk. They had been partying since 8pm on Friday, given it was now 8.30 on Saturday morning they are looking quite well.
We should all stand up and salute those about to Party :)
