    The Film

    When drag queen Anthony (Hugo Weaving) agrees to take his act on the road, he invites fellow cross-dresser Adam (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) to come along. In their colorful bus, named Priscilla, the three performers travel across the Australian desert performing for enthusiastic crowds and homophobic locals. But when the other two performers learn the truth about why Anthony took the job, it threatens their act and their friendship.

    City Tables OHV Ordinance Once Again:
    Volunteer Effort Sputters

    By Tommy Acosta
    –Predictably, the Sedona City Council at its September 12 meeting, failed to arrive at any consensus or take action on a possible Off Highway Vehicle volunteer agreement or the resurrection of a proposed ordinance regulating such vehicles on city streets. Obviously, without the threat of perceived “unsafe” OHVs being banned on city streets hanging over their heads, there is no longer impetus for these companies to volunteer to any city-imposed restrictions or requirements. We should not be surprised that with that cat out of the bag, the volunteer OHV companies will simply now pull out. Why bother if the ordinance is a toothless tiger? The ordinance is dead. The council has lost its appetite for a three-or-more year legal battle between the city and the OHV business owners, a fight the city would handily lose. The volunteer effort is kaput. Though interesting and fueled by emotion, it’s all been a waste of time. Read more→
