Like most people who have quit smoking, I'm still smoking. Just the occasional one or two, I swear. In that vein, thanks to Miztress Vana for bumming me a whimsical Virginia Ultra Slim outside of Berlin last week. I guess the theory is that a cigarette with 1/3 the diameter of a normal cigarette will only give 1/3 the cancer. You say that's hogwash? OK, I quit for realz now.
Windy City Gay Idol chugs along nicely. You shoulda chugged what I chugged at Jackhammer and Spin this past week. Remember to bring your friends to vote you into the next round. It's the only way it works.
And Windy City Gay Idol would be nothing without our ever-expanding circle of Idol groupies. Not only do we enjoy the barbed commentary of The Catty Corner ( Ryan and Andrew, I'm snarking at you ) , we now have the gorgeous Nima. Methinks Nima has only begun to be corrupted by me, Cyn, Amy and the whole crew. Want to see what we'll subject him to next? See you at Wild Pug on Thu., April 29 and Scarlet on Tue., May 4.
Don't forget to sign up for Ride for AIDS, July 10 and 11. They need volunteers, crew and riders to help raise more money than ever this year. Go to rideforaids.org for more info.
And if you've got any horsesense at all, trot it down to Charlie's this Sunday, May 1 for the derby with the ladies of the Windy City Empire. Always a class act with that bunch.
