If you take the letters G-O-D and re-arrange them backwards, they spell out F-O-F. Poor Marc! He looks so sad in this photo. In October 2004 we celebrated our friend David Andora’s Halloween-themed birthday party […]
Fausto Fernós is the host of iTunes’ #1 LGBT talk show, the Feast of Fun podcast, which he produces and hosts with his partner, Marc Felion.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Fausto Fernós created the Feast of Fools in 1998 as wacky artists variety show in Chicago, Illinois. Feast of Fun grew out of an audio blog to promote the live show into the world’s most downloaded talk show aimed for gay people.
When he’s not blogging, recording or sleeping, Fausto can be found at the gym or appreciating the beauty found in nature.

Poor Marc, He does look unhappy. He did it for love but he wasn’t happy about it.
Marc, you have certainly hit on a very interesting fruit! I checked it out online – there are many articles w. pictures and info about the ‘pitaya’, that’s also it’s name, based on the Spanish pronunciation, but the fruit has many different names. It’s the fruit of a night-blooming cactus vine! Apparently it’s very popular to grow in Baja California. Marc, you look very nice as an Andorian, but I DO understand your misery! I am very allergic to makeup and have put it on to do performances, BUT Fausto has a very nice kind of makeup that doesn’t bother at all! I hope that at least he gave you that type of makeup!
I’m listening to what you say about what the Pope says about evolution – he’s playing up to the far right, just like GWB has done. Did you know, Fausto, that you and the Pope have the same birthday?
So mom, are you linking the comments now with the icons?
Hey Cliff, dressing up as Andorians was in part Marc’s idea!
Wasn’t this the same party in which Fausto and Marc both *ahem* tried to cheer each other up at the same time in a *ahem* rather effective way?
The event in question is even supposed to be immortalized in a photograph that is supposedly out there on the internet, and which has a title involving the word “holodeck,” but which has evaded ALL of my search efforts to date.
Would this be the same party?
If so, the picture of Marc and Fausto must be “pre-event.”
Sorry- wrong party and I was so miserable. I hate devery minute of it and that is the last time I’ll let him play dress up with me on Halloween.
Same costumes, different party.
This photo was taken about four years after the fact. The only people I know of that are in possesion of the infamous photos are Jo-Jo and George Takei. (true!)
Yeah, I remember George Takei requesting it during your interview. That naughty man! LOL
oh Link Pinks is missing a link in his train of thought, he did smoke too much of that grass.
you guys don’t look good at all in that picture, I don’t know why, but you remind me of that thing people drink on the home planet of Luke Skywalker.
any way, good show!
Greetings, you mentioned internet rudeness in this show…
The “rudeness” of the internet can be attributed to “the greater internet fuckwad theory”: Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Total Fuckwad.
As described from Penny Arcade Here: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19
Cheers.
Doesn’t sound like Marc was as impressed with me as Fausto. 🙁 “Taylor, be sure to say he’s sexy when his picture loads.” ahem Now I got a complex.
Ron Athey is alive and well. I just received an invite to a show in London, which I’ll fwd’ you guys. The performance in question you guys mentioned was the human printing press. He made prints on rice paper from stencils excised into his skin, these were then pinned on a clothesline and pulled out over/above the audience. It was after he’d done the show in SF and repeated it in LA that the media reported people hurling chairs out of their way to escape the toxic (HIV+) prints. Go figure.
I voted for Joan Jett Black for president of the U.S. in 1996! My polling station was the Jewish Theological Seminary on the corner of Broadway and West 122 Street, in Manhattan. I was pissed off at Bill Clinton for the whole “don’t ask, don’t tell thing” and thought a black drag queen president sounded mighty fine! Oh well. Too bad she lost.
Holly Hughes, one of the NEA 4 performers you talked about on the show today, is my colleague here at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She’s great!
