Pursuing Pacific

So you start talking about male strip shows and all of the sudden everyone has a 7 AM meeting... except JWan.. props for stepping up even though he wasn't in the original cast.

Fortunately a Shell happy hour and multiple beers managed to convince Chapman that this was a good idea.

So cruisin' in the escape, rockin' the purple mood lights, I pick up Chap and head to the rendezvous point, Inversion Coffee, in Montrose. We have some time to kill so I grab a Cherry Bomb Choco Coffee and we take to reading Men's Vogue (yeah, I brought the magazine our old buddy Chris subscribed to). Page of Dude Modeling. Flip page. Dude Modeling. Flip Page. Dude. Dude. Dude.

JWan makes an entrance and we peace out to JRs. Bam! Dude in Tightie Greenies in my face.

We head to the back and grab ourselves some cold ones. Conversation hits typical nerd stuff: Apple computers, transition effects, boobs. Can't stop staring at the tvs: left side: obscure one hit wonder dance band with super hot, scantily clad female lead singer; dead ahead: shirtless, pantless dude doing crunches. Occasionally takes a break to rub hand seductively down abs into underwear then back to crunches. To the right: tv duplicating whats to my left. I try to look out of my peripheral vision.

Cute chick walks over to the other end of the bar. Consider walking over then notice manly chick half-way down the bar. Not worth making that mistake.

11 o'clock and we head to the front for the show. Chap and JWan kindly give me the best seat right next to the stage.

Fifteen minutes pass. No strippers.
Drag Queen lip sings four songs.
Good songs. I approve. No strippers.

Drag Queen makes jokes. More Songs. Fewer Strippers.
Can this get any gayer?
Drag Queen lip sings "Its Raining Men." Yes. No Strippers.

Drunk Chick requests Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All"
Drag Queen sings about the children of my future.
WTF? Where are the strippers?

Chap and I discover bar game Drank 2 Much the Uncensored Edition: Office Party gone horribly right and now we must help our digital lady friend walk a straight line and shed clothes along the way.
Points for plot and originality.
Much failure until we team up and figure out the trick.
7th Place and full frontal animated glory, bitches.
Most action Ive seen in months.

Its past midnight and time to head home. Yep, the only stripping we saw at an amateur stripping contest at a gay bar was a cartoon inebriated lady.
Awesome.

But I dont hit the hay (no 7 am meeting for me) so I decide to watch the 2nd episode of the American version of Skins. This one is about the British Maxxie's - the popular, gay male dancer - American replacement character, Tea, the hot lesbian cheerleader (God Bless America!).

And just to round out an evening well spent, I have a viewing of Chapman's Mom's greatest film, Lesbian Bukkake 2 (God Bless Japan and America!)

Connecticut Avenue.

We're going to need some help from out-of-towners on this one. Houston and Austin both have Connecticut streets but they are both pretty residential and I didn't have much luck with googling Connecticut, Houston, restaurant.

Bed Time. Need to get up in three hours for my 7 AM meeting.

Closing Quote
From an article about war profiteers in Kenya in Men's Vogue Sept 2008 (Eli Manning is on the cover):
Questions North Korean government officials asked one profiteer looking to invest in North Korea:
"Would investors sell North Korea's bonds if a power-plant failure resulted in, say, the destruction of a small town? Would the price of the bonds drop? Could the government then buy them back at a discount?"
