Hetero Awesome Festival (yes, it was named that) was an event held in Boise, Idaho, between June 20 and 21 of last year at Cecil D. Andrus Park, within a stone’s throw of the state capitol. Organized by Mark Fitzpatrick – owner of Old State Saloon in nearby Eagle, current GOP candidate for state governor, and noted dingus – the event ostensibly celebrated “Traditional Values”™ (a dogwhistle for queerphobia) and, uhh… how should I put this?
Ah right, it stunk. [Jon Lovitz voice] It stunk!
The event was a complete and abject flop – being outclassed and outmanned by the Boise Pride parade happening at the same time, as well as being parodied by the drag/burlesque performance “But, What About Straight Pride?” held at the Balcony Club in the same city. About the only good thing that happened there was local queer artist Daniel Hamrick accidentally being brought on stage and doing a pro-trans protest song, which I think deserves a “hell yeah.“
About 30–50 people attended the event, which should tell you how insignificant it was in the long run. Overall, it was just… eurgh. Hamrick’s performance, though… that earns a point.
1/10; would not awesome again.

Ditto, with tagline also set in Hobeaux. “VOLUNTEERS AND SPONSORS NEEDED” is set in Dharma Type's Bebas Neue (presumably the dafont.com version). The date and the URL are in Chaloops. “Hetero” is set in Heiback and “AWESOME” in Microgramma.
