01Your first job.

Working in the cafeteria at African Lion Safari in Cambridge, Ontario.

To be the host of my own TV variety show.

People that use their cell phones like a walkie talkie.

04Your hero.

Audrey Hepburn.

05Finish this sentence: I first kissed a boy...

... on my brother's waterbed while I was house sitting for him in high school.

06Your biggest indulgence.

I dry clean all my clothes because I can't iron a shirt to save my life.

07The one word your best friend would use to describe you.

Sardonic.

08Three things you would want with you on a deserted island.

The Professor, Ginger, and Mary Ann.

09 One thing no one knows about you.

I don't have a driver's license..

10 The one thing any visitor simply cannot miss.

A bike ride around the sea wall in Stanley Park..

Meet Tony Correia

Tony Correia wrote "Queen's Logic" and "Foodsluts at Doll & Penny's Café" for Xtra in Vancouver. His essays and articles have appeared in The Globe & Mail, The San Francisco Courier, Lusitania, SubTerrain, Vancouver Review and Sad Magazine as well as the anthologies, Second Person Queer and I Like It Like That.

Set in the late 80s and early 90s, Foodsluts at Doll & Penny's Cafe follows Correia as he explores Vancouver’s counter-culture during the height of the AIDS crisis. With a cast of characters that includes drag queens, prostitutes, go-go boys and the religious right, Foodsluts revisits a period in Vancouver’s history that Correia claims has all but been erased and honours the memories of friends lost during the height of the AIDS crisis.
