Hello to my friend Ryan at Cocktail. Last time I tried to come in and talk to you, I was confronted with a trick I couldn't refuse and was whisked instantly away. Sometimes, you gotta go with the flow. Anyway, some unqualified degree of drunkenness led to the above picture. Boy, that Zach sure can provide succor. But you probably already knew that.
As I was on week two of my 'Get-The-Fuck-Out-Of-Chicago' tour of the sleepy Midwest ( thanks so much, Jimmy!!! ) , I missed out on all the ebony action of Onyx weekend. Luckily graysong and Daddie Millarca had the situation well in hand. Check out page 12 and www.windycitymediagroup.com for full disclosure.
Now let's all admit it—we're all smitten with Kyle, our ultra-sexy cover boy this week. Kyle comes to us fresh from Indiana. New to the big city, you can find sweet Kyle barbacking ( not barebacking, I can only hope ) and doormanning at Big Chicks. He is also a budding artist. That's his painting as the background. What a renaissance man!
Much to the chagrin of you die-hards, I'm one of those people who magically transforms into a sports fan when a Chicago team gets going. So I found myself at Crew to watch the Sox game. I've been a million times before, but never for any sports-related endeavor. Thank God they're there for those moments. Check out Brian in the center spread. Sometimes it's shitty being at the top.
Tune in next week for our super-special Halloween extravaganza. Marvel at Angelique Munro as our cover angel. And who's that devil? Find out next week.
Speaking of Angelique Munro, make sure to get down to Nutbush on Saturday for a little Halloween Madness.
Speaking of Munro, catch Monica Munro at The Closet on Thursday, October 27 for a sexy spin of the bingo balls. See how many she can get in her mouth!
Speaking of Monica Munro, catch her also at Hydrate as a special guest in Hy-Drag.
And speaking of Hydrate ( last segue, I promise ) NOW IT CAN BE TOLD! Halloween weekend, 'wash' your troubles away with none other than überdiva Martha Wash on Saturday, October 29. For those of you unfamiliar with Ms. Martha... you know what? If you don't know Martha, I can't even talk to you. You ain't gay until you've prayed at this bitch's altar. And it's my birthday, so I'll be crushed if I don't see you there. Also, pop in on Friday, October 28 for CeCe Peniston!
588-2300, EMPIRE! Check out page 27 for some Empire exploits at Jackhammer and Clark's. Them queens know how to party. Especially a certain half-emperor ( or is it emperor and a half ) from Buffalo. I've experienced first-hand how those Buffalo-boys roam. See next week's issue for exclusive photo coverage of Empress II Fabiola the Great and Emperor II David Graham's coronation.
Do you sudoku? If you know what I'm talking about, check out page 24 for Nightspots' version. Don't miss the adopted Chinese baby!
