Source Context
Recovered passages from the original issue text. When the raw archive preserved outbound links inside the source passage, they are listed directly under the quote.
I’m excited. I’m also anxious. Back in September, I booked the event at Sovereign House. Sovereign House has become rather infamous among people who concern themselves with scene politics in downtown NYC. Suffice it to say, the venue has right-wing affiliations. So, mere days after the election, I am ONCE AGAIN ASKING my friends, followers, and performers to willingly enter MAGA territory.

There were actually several practical reasons I chose Sovereign House for this event, including but not limited to the venue’s convenient location and its willingness to host and offer an open bar in spite of my having no event budget whatsoever. Notably, the venue is also known to be open to a broader menu of “dissident” artists and writers. Zeischegg’s book and short film are decidedly NSFW. I couldn’t expect to bring this content into any cutesy little venue and hope for the best. No, I needed to know ahead of time that I wouldn’t risk inciting moral panic when a bound, naked Zeischegg appears onscreen with a cock in his mouth and a forcep-gripped firecracker(?) in his ass.
Look, much has been said about the political bent of the guys who run this place. What people fail to mention is just how asocial, stilted, and ineffectual they are. My early dealings with Sovereign House were comical. When I asked X (I’d rather not flame anyone by name) whether they’d be willing to host a musical act, he told me it would depend on how “clouted” they are. Sick. I told him I’d “keep that in mind.” In early October, I alerted him that I was interested in booking iD-SuS. He didn’t ask further questions. In late October, when I asked whether there’d be anyone to assist with sound, he replied, “Fuck. I didn’t know there was a music performance. We didn’t discuss that I don’t think. I guess I should have checked the event description.”
