Abracadabra


On Thursday my pal Danielle got us into the world famous Magic Castle. It's actually a castle that has rooms and rooms of magicians. You can only get in with a member of the club so it took me 11 years in LA to finally get in, but it was a friggin' blast. My mind was blown a few times particularly by Danielle's husband who took us on a tour down into the basement and did card tricks for the group of us. Somehow a bunch of cards ended up in my friends suit jacket - not even kidding. It was an awesome experience! http://magiccastle.com/

Back to Boogie


When I was a kid and living in Wisconsin we used to go to a roller skating rink called High Roller. On Wednesday nights they'd do teen skate so we always went up there. Now in LA on Wednesday nights the Moonlight Rollerway does Gay Nite on Wednesday. Yes I've come full circle. Highlight of the night - throwing away a never ending popsicle so I could skate to friggin' "Xanadu" - yeah it was awesome!

Roller Boogie Beatches


Tonight I head to the Valley to Glendale for some roller boogie action. It's Gay Skate Night at Moonlight Rollerway Skating Rink! Can not wait. Last time I went all I wanted to hear was I Love Rock & Roll - at the end of the night Leivas wanted to get a head start out of the place so I took off my skates and gave them back. Guess what they played for the last song? That's right friggin' I Love Rock & Roll!! Tonight I'm putting on my red short shorts and knee high socks and I'm not leaving til I skate to Joan Jett! Hope to see you there!

I have to thank Marc for taking the vids. Devin for helping me out in so many ways and Crush for inviting me in the first place.
Here's the videos:
Opening number: "Melted Away"

"Spastic Valentino"

Daytime Drinking and Go Go's Birthday Cake

Let's try this blogging thing again shall we? I'm back (for now)

Yesterday was the land of the drunkeness here in WeHo. My pal Ms. M called around 1 and said she was almost drunk and wanted to continue the art of daytime drinking with me. So we met at the Abbey and had a few laughs and a few cocktails. Her girlfriend came out to join us but they had to leave so I headed to Trunks for a few more.

I hung out with our old roomate and had a few more drinks. My ex co-worker was there and terribly cautious as he thought I was mad at him. He's not the one who laid me off and he still has to work there so I have never been mad. Though I did find out one of my clients was mad that I got laid off. So that was nice.

After all that, I still had to go to a surprise birthday potluck for my good pal Marc. I didn't drink much there and my husband was sweet enough to take me there and pick me up at 9:30. Then this drunkard went to bed.

But here's the awesome cake our friends Joe & Sunny picked up for Marc! Happy Birthday!
