Today was a difficult day. Charlie wanted a party

Today was a difficult day. Charlie wanted a party and so we threw one for him — with an open bar. Love radiated throughout the Eagle for the entirety of the two-hour private memorial (a larger public celebration will be held in June). Through the tears, we all learned just how Charlie touched the lives of every attendee. What a beautiful tribute to his life and legacy. #mrcharliebrown #bitchofthesouth #atlantaeagle

On Saturday evening, the upstairs drag stage was dark as Mr. Charlie Brown’s cast mates, friends and fans gathered downstairs to swap stories, memories, toast “The Bitch of the South” with chilled shots of her favorite Wild Turkey and listen to a soundtrack of her biggest drag numbers, including her iconic seven-minute Tina Turner medley first performed back in the 1990s at her cabaret upstairs at the fabled Backstreet. Backstage, a black cloak was draped over her dressing table where Charlie’s favorite coconut candle glowed in the Queen’s memory. #mrcharliebrown

Now posted at @atlantamagazine: Over the decades, I covered the Queen of Atlanta drag queens Mr. Charlie Brown’s exploits for Etc. Magazine, Southern Voice, the AJC, Atlanta magazine and my site, Eldredge ATL. There was never a dull moment. But we forged a friendship over the past three years as we worked together on his now-completed memoir. The biggest surprise? Discovering that the man who became “The Bitch of the South” onstage was the polar opposite offstage. Charlie Dillard was a sweet, caring, empathetic human easily moved to tears. By the time the book was in final edits, we never concluded a phone conversation without telling the other “I love you.” He would be so moved to see this outpouring of love for him from his adoptive city. Thank you, Atlanta and thank you, Charlie. For everything.

My latest for @atlantamagazine: Brace yourself, ATL. Jermaine Dupri’s new Freaknik doc begins streaming Thursday on Hulu. And there’s lots of archival camcorder footage. As Killer Mike says in the film, “Trust me, your momma and daddy got down!”
