Oh... And since my friends and I were actually one of the few gay people in the gay bar last night, Bobby treated us to a round of tequila shots...

And that led to a trip earlier this morning for a Big Breakfast at McDonald's. ;)

And... A little while ago, I got a text from Steve reminding me that he and some friends from Richmond would be coming into town later today. -They're all driving back from Provincetown, and they're going to stay the night. So... We'll be heading to Becco for dinner... And then they want to go to - wait for it - Brandy's afterwards.

And it also looks like I'll be playing tour guide for a few hours this afternoon too.

I have free tickets to the circus today!

Often they have it 5 minutes away. But this year it is a bit further. About 30 minutes. But luckily a very easy route that shouldn't have traffic. So that part is good.

It will be my 3 year old niece's first time at the circus. Yesterday we were reading a book and there was a clown in it. And i asked her if she thought she would like seeing a clown. And she replied, "um probably not".

:)

Which circus company?

I just have to say the notes are a beautiful tribute to Hal David.

And tonight's previously scheduled viewing of HUGO in 3D will now be pre-empted for a special showing of LOST HORIZON.

My deepest sympathies!

About last night...

However, my friend, Lauren, was back on the floor...



Had she passed out?

So...

About last night...

My friend, Brendan, and I went out for some ramen for dinner, and then we headed over to Brandy's. When we walked through the door, we found that it was packed. -Which is actually a good thing and nice to see. However, it seemed to populated with lots of married couples and girls having their night out. I'm fine with the married couples, but the bachelorette parties.. UGH! Oh, and the pianist who I was hoping to hear again was not there since he had another gig, and his sub was good, but left a bit to be desired - he spent a bit too much time looking up songs on his iPad. However, my friend, Lauren, was back on the floor, and the usual bartending staff, Joe and Bobby, made it worth to stay for a little while.

My friend, Yosh, soon joined us, so we stuck it out for a little longer. It was a good night, although, there was one woman who kept telling me that I was crowding her. I had stepped away from the rail to drop my empty beer bottle on the bar, and when I stepped back into my spot it was clear that I was now stepping back into her spot. I held my ground for a bit, then eventually shifted up to an empty space by the bar. And she was soon getting crowded in by a group of eight college students who walked in behind her. Karma, baby. Karma. ::)

In other news...

So...

In a few weeks, I will be starting my vacation loop:

September 14-17 - Boston
September 17 (late!)-21 - Seattle
September 21-24 - Portland
September 24-27 - San Francisco
September 27-30 - Chicago

If you happen to be in or near one of those cities, I'd love to meet up with you. Kind of an HHW Rainbow Tour. ;)

It was standing room last night, so, basically, once you found a spot you kept it.

McDonald's. Now that's a part of this story I can identify with.  though I found it all very entertaining.

Speaking of RAINBOW TOUR, my friend Keith reminded me of a bit he and I had done at a party which (kind of perversely) spoofed Forbidden Bway of all things - we're trying to recall the whole number, it had gone over pretty well, though it was rather  inside -

it was pretty known then that Gerard Alessandrini had made fun of Patti LuPone's thighs (her "Stubby Kaye thigh")

The part he remembered was

"Patti"- to tune of RAINBOW HIGH:

Such behavior
I think he's a meanie
That Alessandrini
My "Anything Goes"
Is simply fantastic
It's like he's in Junior High
Instead of my singing
He knocks my thigh

Oh, was the whole night a bust, I thought it was just a few bad aspects, that it was fun being with your friends.  Sorry, didn;t mean to make light of it if the evening was unpleasant.

Oh! I had a great time last night despite the very few annoyances. It looks like my friend, Brendan, just picked up a job with Hawaiian Airlines, so were pre-celebrating, and my friend, Yosh, just got back from a month overseas, so it was his "Welcome Home" bash too. And Lauren sang "Fifty-Percent" which always quiets the bar and then brings it down. Good times. :)

DR JFL - And by "entertaining" I meant, well... There will most likely be some wine with dinner and some grappa after dinner... And then it's off to Brandy's, so... Thankfully, I don't have to work tomorrow. ;)

Is grappa Italian for groping?

I have returned from our Appalachian meeting. I have two press kits to send out and we have a date set for our next reasding of the piece, September 24, Monday, if any DR would liketo come. I'll announce the time when I know it, but I suspect late morning or early afternoon.

We met at the  Delta Grill on 48th and Ninth Ave. I had an omelette, DJ had poached eggs with spinach, and Kevin had smething that looked like an omelette - but wasn't - with potatoes and other yummy things. Their Cajun menu looks delicious.

My favorite Bacharach/David medley:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrhEzKZxyRs&feature=related

Sherlock had a bell to ring when he wanted to go outside.  He used to ring the bell to get me to go play with him.  The bed takes two minutes to make instead of 20.  The list keeps going on.  This song has been running through my head since he left us. :'(
