We've never actually been to London, but we always hear about the G-A-Y night at the Astoria because they score some of our favorite performers, including Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Kylie Minogue. It seems that G-A-Y, and the venue that houses it, the Astoria, are London institutions, and now the property has been sold, and the new owner wants to tear down the venue to build shops and offices.
Buildings with cultural value always seem to take the back seat to commerce, but this building has a special place in the heart of gay Londoners, and so a group of them started the "Save the Astoria" petition. We invite you to sign so that future gay music icons will have a place in London to go and preach to the choir.

It's also where the video for Caribbean Queen was filmed. Oh, and I once danced on stage there with the Weathergirls. Sigh...
