Description

Chris Crocker performing with back-up dancers at gay disco Ice in Hamtramck, Michigan - 15 October 2007

Okay, so. I went to Detroit for 24 hours. And in that 24 hours I saw a lot. Many of the things that I saw, I had planned to see in advance, such as urban decay, the intractable cycle of poverty, and depressingly misguided attempts at urban renewal. OTHER things I saw were complete and utter surprises, such as a live personal appearance by internet insta-celebrity, weeping YouTube icon, Suicide Boy in extremis, and passionate Britney Spears advocate CHRIS CROCKER. Honestly, when you go to a tragic gay disco (at which I felt old old old, and hated the music) that is not even really in Detroit, but rather in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamtramck">Hmtrmck</a>, he is perhaps the last thing you expect to see. Or maybe it was in fact inevitable?

In either case, say what you will about him, I honestly believe that Chris Crocker an absolute, highly concentrated specimen of authentic twenty-first-century celebrtiy. No one has a greater right to be famous than he does. God have mercy on us all.

PS, I have the worst camera phone in the world.
