Armistead & Boom Boom, 1984 — Armistead Maupin meets Sister Boom Boom on Castro Street. I introduced them to each other and it was a joyous convergence of two celebrities. Armistead has sold millions of books and produced a row of films, with stories that inspired multitudes to move to San Francisco and come out of the closet. Sister Boom Boom ran for City Supervisor. Columnists in Chicago and New York City claimed that Boom Boom was running for mayor and would win the election. Publications all over the world ran his photograph on their covers.
