Memories of a Dancing Queen

By Rhett Neal

When 23 year old Rhett Neal arrives in San Francisco in 1983, he's chasing freedom, self discovery, and the electric promise of a city that feels alive with possibility. Drawn to the nightlife of the Castro, the sexual energy of Polk street, and the raw inhibited spirit of the Folsom District. Rhett dives head first into a world of dance floors, bars, dark parks, and the streets of the city. Fulfilling all his desires, with late night adventures in San Francisco's electric District's. Working by day. Rhett and his new found family of friends, co-workers, embrace the joy of youth, and the freedom of living in a city that celebrates their identities. Though whispers of the AIDS crisis grow louder, their youthful sense of invincibility keeps them from paying the attention it deserves-until it becomes impossible to ignore. Memories of a Dancing Queen is an unflinching journey, capturing the magic of a young man finding his place in the world, in a city that accepted everyone and everything, but be careful of what you wish for.
