Back In New Orleans

Okay, so I am back in our fair city and I could not be happier. I really don't like traveling in general but especially for conferences. I will spare you all the sorted details of why I did not enjoy Milwaukee but share what happened when I returned. I got back on Tuesday night and went to take money out of my account for a late dinner. The ATM informed me I had insufficient funds which was shocking to say the least. Come to find-out, the hotel charged my debit card for the cost of the hotel which was supposed have been charged to the DDD. I called the next day and they said they would fix it. The day after this, they charged me for a second time bring my over-draft to $1200. Right now I am only $500 in the hole so they have fixed some of it and "assure me" that they will have it all cleared by midnight tonight. Good thing I can give tours or I would be completely broke. Also, my boss gave me a cash front till it all gets resolved. And yes, I was the only person on the trip that this happened too. We have always joked about the dark cloud that follows me. This is just further proof. Evil Hilton...Evil Milwaukee!!!!! I also went through and updated some of my pictures on the picasso site (see link to right). I added some from a couple of shows, my trip to Milwaukee and Crack Whore Ball '07.

Milwaukee Indeed.

So I made it to Milwaukee. The flights were pretty un eventful for the most part although three in our group of five did not make it the terminal in time for their connecting flight. Fortunately, there was one not long after. Once we all arrived Kurt took us out to dinner which was very nice and then I ditched everyone and took off to the bars here. I have a lot of observations, too many to really list here since I should already be in bed, but I have to say that gay bars in other cities are odd by New Orleans standards. Regardless, I think I have found the couple of bars that will be my home bars while in town. The Triangle and Kruz. The names really do not match their atmospheres but they are pretty cool. Kruz reminds me a lot of Lafittes. Triangle, I am not sure how to describe. The walls are made of tin, the kind of rippled tin my childhood home had on it. The people, are like lantern folk crossed with Flannigan's if you can imagine that. Well I have to be off to bed, check in for the conference is at some ungodly hour that I believe should be banned. Love you all and see you soon.

Lavern or Shirley?

Decadence is officially over and now i am taking-out to Milwaukee tomorrow for a conference. I will be out of town for five days. I have to say for Aug and Sept to be the slow times of year, I have been rather busy. I hope I have time to explore Milwaukee a little since I have never been there before. With luck I will find some hot bear to show me around. If not, it wouldn't be the first time I explored a city on my own. Right now, we are running around trying to get everything taken care of before we take off tomorrow morning. We are actually presenting at the conference on our code enforcement stuff. Wish me luck!

Old

Ok I am officially over decadence. My bars are crowded with drunken drama queens and getting a cocktail is more difficult than getting water from a rock. I would also like to take this moment to rant about how I hate strippers on a bar. It bothers me. The idea of someone making a living because they are so "hot" is offensive especially I find most of them to look like they are twelve and with no bodyhair. That is basically a woman with no breasts. I am just saying. But tomorrow is the parade so we will see if things get better.

Decadence

Decadence is here and there are a lot of guys in town. I am not really feeling it yet but perhaps the next few days will work themselves out. Tomorrow night is the show at JohnPauls was there for a bit tonight but just between man watching at Phoenix.
