Have you every had that experience of being 'fresh meat'? 

When you walk in to a bar and receive all the attention of everyone who is in there? 

Well, this week's chat threw me back in time to the (admittedly very few) occasions when that's happened to me, and how glorious and all-powerful I felt in those moments! 

And, who reminded me of those heady days? Well, it's Bryan, the co-host of Pink Milk Podcast, a show that views Star Wars (and its many properties) through a queer lens. 

Bryan currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with his husband Tom and three kids. But, when he was a plucky (and some might say naive) 18-year old, Bryan packed up all his things and moved from to Austin, Texas, which was kind of an elaborate plan to avoid coming out. 

We talk all about the first club that he went to there, The Forum, and, along the way we discuss the perils of heteronormativity, tip-toeing around your parents, and the pluckiness of youth.... 

Do you have any memories of The Forum, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
