On April Fool's Day of 1995, sometime actor and lifelong Chicagoan Sal Iacopelli began his three-year sojourn among the leather bars and drag shows, the expensive apartments and cheap thrills of San Francisco. His hilarious, bitchy and moving commentary was chronicled in a three-year series of letters to his longtime friend back home. Sal's observations on the collared and the buffed, the spankers and the slaves, the warped and the wonderful of the Gay Mecca make an unforgettable read -- and outrageous illustrations by award-winning cartoonist Phil Foglio provide the perfect counterpoint.
