Red Light District Returns

Last May, former Ziegfeld's & Secrets owner, Allen Caroll, obtained the zoning, etc. to re-open the clubs near the old SW location. We haven't heard much about it in the straight or gay media. According to a January 26th Washington Blade article (click for full story):

The clubs are slated to open in a warehouse building at 1824 Half St., S.W., less than half a mile from the O Street, S.E., gay entertainment strip that was demolished to make way for the stadium and where Ziegfeld’s and Secrets operated for more than 20 years.

The new location on Half Street, S.W., is the former home to Pier 9, one of the city’s first large gay disco clubs that opened in the 1970s. Pier 9 closed in the 1980s and its building was occupied by a series of straight nightclubs before it became vacant last year.

Our closeted Republican politicians and staffers will be pleased to know they can once again hop a few blocks from the Capital to catch a drag show and DL 'lap dance' starting the first or second weekend in February. I'm pleased that it will be located in a historic gay club location and curious if Ms. Blair Michaels will leave her post at Towne or at least make an appearance at the new Ziegfelds? I'm sure the Chimney Fall gang will make a pilgrimage to tell you all about it on the blogs. The trip will be exclusively documentary of course since we're all good Christian women ;-)

The Gay Alphabet

Friends - It is time to clear out the weekend madness and give you something new to look at besides Big T and his Gay(ng) signs. I just finished a training session with my new trainer, Miguel, and so far so good. I'm back in the healthy eating, regular running, and now scheduled training sessions. I'm gonna beat this tired old broke down body into shape one way or another. Weekends like the last one must not be repeated any time soon!

Thanks to Joe.My.God for bringing us a link to TheGayAlphabet.com - It is totally suitable for work and will make you smile. Happy Hump Day!



Oh yes....I still need to upload baby shower and inauguration pics. Soon. Very soon.

Gang War?

Without even trying i might be on bar 15 this is nearly a record and nobody has gotten a haircut

Hanky Panky

So...our Flight to boston was canceled so we came to Hanks for dessert. They don't have any so we are tb's last table because we made them uncut her to serve us and now we are waiting for a manager to complain about this service because there is no dessert.

Subject goes here

Bar 10 is ubergay but BT says nothing is as gay as the Queer as Folk party we took him to. When not mobile blogging I will provide a link to that feather cocked wing party

Addiction

We found more friends but they might have a video-crack problem

Game On

Bar 8

The Real Annie!

I know...it Is hardly a bar crawl without RJ, but her phone is off so she must be on lockdown. My head hurt this am so I started early. Here i am at bar 7 with Tom at Annie's upstairs. The actual Annie is downstairs, but we were too shy to ask for a pic while she was eating. This is Cutie Chris, her nephew standing in. He's super cute, but only 20, so Leigh Ann says hands and eyes off boys.

This week's Horror-scope

You can't remember when you were last so prepared to find joy. You can't remember when you were last so ready to communicate the truth and nothing but the truth. You can't remember when you were so ready to admit you had nothing to lose. Go there.

Miss p deliver

Yup...sometimes you just gotta go back out for a dog...at least I bought a couple so my homeless pal could have one too.

Bloggo Buddies

Here i be with kevin f and keith e formerly of knee deep in mud....at Jr's

The Inauguration

My personal cell phone broke so I can't mobile block from the Blackberry. We braved the Metro from U St to Waterfront since Lenfant was closed due to overcrowding. We made our way back North to the mall where all exits were closed. We walked West and the first open entry point was just past the Washington monument. We wiggled our way in front of it with a jumbo tron in sight. My thumbs are frozen, but I am here to witness history.

Suburbs!

This is what happens when you buy furniture at IKEA in the car!

Miniscule Globe!

We drug Steve and Lisa to a party in the District and started chatting with this dude named Jason. Turns out he was in Orrville, OH at Lisa's Senior prom in 96 as her friend Sabrina's date. Fun times!

AFA vs. Sordid Lives

The Florida Chapter of AFA has attacked Sordid Lives and is trying to go after their advertisers. Here's an excerpt from Joe.My.God. Click it to see the AFA full alert:

According to a Florida Family release, the show depicts various members of the family as lesbian, homosexual, bi-sexual, and transgender. Among the program's sponsors are Memphis-based St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Children International. David Caton: "As a matter of fact, St. Jude Children's Hospital was one of the most frequent advertisers on the five programs that we monitored on LOGO, and Children International has been consistent for about the last three months," he contends. Del Shores, the show's writer, left his wife and two daughters to marry his homosexual partner. Communications from Florida Family to LOGO have gone unanswered, so Caton is calling on the general public to send emails to advertisers.

My super cute Jason Dottley posted this video response on YouTube denouncing the most vicious accusation that he scandalously stole Del from his former wife and kids when Dell was divorced many moons prior to Jason & Dell's marriage.

New Copper Slippers

Why are the most comfortable, most appropriate shoes the ugliest? T2 and I braved the elements and rode Ms. V up to Fleet Feet in Adams Morgan for a new pair of running shoes. The place is great. While I didn't do any preliminary research and paid nearly full price, I have fantastically comfortable running shoes. Considering the condition of my last pair, there was no time to buy online and the experience made it worthwhile.

I didn't realize Fleet Feet was a National chain, but didn't mind considering it throws some dollar bills at the Fenty family. They suggested multiple pair based on my pronation, my running habits, and the wear pattern on my current shoes; I was able to do an outdoor test run in each pair (the best part.) I settled on these beauties. Yes, they are obnoxiously metallic. Please help find copper and/or silver metallic running shorts to complete my ensemble. T2 & Timmy don't think these are a good idea.

Watch out BloodKillerDeathMan...the heat is on for our 1/2 marathon training! See you in Nashvegas!

Happy Birthday Ms. Andrzejewski

It is Pat Benatar's Birthday today! She my hero.

I toasted in her birthday at some undisclosed location last night to "Love is a Battlefield" blaring from the juke box. My cohorts weren't too amused that I insisted on changing focus from Mexi-friend's birthday to Pat's when the clock struck midnight, but a fan must have his priorities in order!

Happy Birthday Pat! You are only 56, you still rock, you still got it, and you will always be my favorite!

Another Year!

We've had many good times friend! Remember this bar crawl madness during the 2007 Halloween taxi strike? Happy Birthday Mexi-Ed! Here's to more adventuras fantasticas (on and off the Vespa!)

Curiosity Killed the Copycat

Two of my friends recently posted their blog ratings courtesy of oneplusyou.com. While it is really a front for a dating site, I jumped on the bandwagon and checked the rating for this site. First, I'll remind you that Boston Steamer came in with a G and The Mango & The Jayhawk earned a PG. I however, earned a PG-13 for my utilization of Sex, Bitch, & Hell. Dirty, dirty, dirty...

Marathon Training Time

I competed in the Country Music 1/2 Marathon last April. While I legitimately intended to run additional races before the end of 2008, limited time and broken bones kept me from it. I've decided to do it again this year and kick off 2009 with a renewed fitness focus. The intention is to finish much quicker than 08 since there are 17 weeks left to train. Please click here to sign up and join me! A long weekend in Nashville can be loads of fun!

Party Pics 2008

This year's party theme photo was taken with the wizard hat...Here are the raw photos, but I'm sure something creative will come of them in the future. A big thanks to the Chimneyfall Mike & Chimneyfall Cat for hosting a great party again this year!

Happy New Year!
