1 day agoS.F. drag laureate Per Sia reflects on a decade of storytelling
Drag Story Hour began in San Francisco ten years ago and now celebrates its 10th anniversary while expanding and honoring Per Sia as Drag Laureate.
On October 17th, 1989, the Oakland A's were playing the San Francisco Giants in the World Series, but just as the game was kicking off-the television broadcast cut out. When the signal came back, it was no longer the baseball game. These were the early minutes of the Loma Prieta earthquake, which struck near Santa Cruz. It was the first major earthquake ever to be broadcast live on national TV.
