Jesse Hughes

Jesse Taylor Hughes is our head of security and Bartender. You can catch him checking IDs at the door most weekend nights and making sure the party stays safe.

Also known as Sister Peghan Ritual, Jesse has been working with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for the last few months and is nearly a fully professed sister.

Jesse was born on July 10th, 1981, and raised in Petaluma, Ca. He has lived in San Francisco off-and-on since 1999.

He came to the Deco in October of 2009 and started his drag career shortly thereafter. He was “adopted” by resident diva Duplicity Dilemma and took the drag name Indica Dilemma. By drag family extension, Indica is “granddaughter” to Duplicity’s drag mother, our own Ginger Snap.

Jesse’s interests include movies, music, magic, dancing, working with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, kayaking, skateboarding, cooking, reading, hiking, and enjoying life.

Bartender Kurt Gilbertson

Born and raised in Midwestern Wisconsin, Kurt has an education in Fashion Design and oodles of experience both in management as well as tending bar. Kurt is in his element when the lights are low, the music is thumping and the bar is rocking! He can also cook up a storm like nobody’s business…

He wanted to share his Deviled Egg recipe:

12 hard-boiled eggs (must eat the first one or two to test quality)

Cut six eggs in half and retain the yolk in a separate bowl.

Place halves on a plate.

Blue cheese bit to be placed in each egg (this is to the liking of the creator or about ¼ teaspoon)

In the bowl of retained egg yolks, cut up the remaining whole hard-boiled eggs (there should be about five unless we over tested the quality).

Add the following to the bowl:

One-tablespoon organic mustard

One-cup real mayonnaise

¼ teaspoon celery salt

¼ teaspoon cumin

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Mix with a Braun mixer until very smooth. Let this mixture mellow, covered, for 30 min in the refrigerator to allow flavors to join.

Put mixture into a plastic bag, clip the corner with a scissors, press the mixture into the corner and squeeze into each egg until filled to your liking.

Grate nutmeg on top of each egg, cover with clear wrap and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.

Oh my they are so yummy and good for us!

Ginger Snap

Ginger has been a member of the Deco Lounge family for over four years. She started out as a customer, became a promoter in 2008 (hosting her own show, Snap-a-Licious!), and then became a bartender in 2010.

She hosts and performs in her own show, and she has made appearances in Duplicity Presents. She can also be seen at Mary-Go-Round at the Lookout and makes occasional appearances at various other events around San Francisco.

Ginger started doing drag at age 20. She’s now 30 and some months (don’t do the math). She has been a show host, a performer and a DJ for other performers’ shows. A local film student made a great 5-minute documentary about her which you must see!

You can find Ginger elsewhere on the web at her own website and on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
