The Eternal City of Babylon once again is starting their tour in Chicago. Babylon has selected Chicago for several years, because of its insatiable appetite for the decadent sophistication, which only the Midori City of Babylon Tour can bring. Club goers all across the nation look forward to this event every year to see what this fictitious nightclub, created on the ground breaking Queer as Folk series on Showtime will re-create in their hometown on this tour. I was able to talk to the producer of the Midori City of Babylon Tour event and he had some insightful thoughts.

Adam Gill, from Toronto, has been the creative force behind the Babylon tours for the last four years. Adam's Company Embrace Productions approached Showtime regarding using Babylon as a promotion for a tour, after a resounding yes, the rest was history. But now that QAF is no longer in production, Babylon still lives. I caught up with Adam to see what was in store for this years Babylon tour.
