In typical stressed-out-editor fashion, last weekend I piled into the Chrysler and struck out westward to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for some reason. Change of pace, you know. And then I ended up at a drag show. Yep.
The girls of Belle's Basix turnt it out though. And the people in Iowa do this weird thing where they smile at strangers and are generally nice for no reason. I tried to bring a little of that back to Chicago, along with a bag of cheap fruit pies I bought at the Hy-Vee. Check out some of the fruitiness on page 14.
It got awful porny at this month's Hot Jock contest at Crew when the same lesbian won not one but two of the porn videos they gave away in the raffles, one of which I stopped off at Banana Video to personally procure. Realizing she didn't really have a great need for them, she offered up to the crowd that if someone would buy her two craft beers ( presumably for her and a friend, but we don't judge if not ), she would trade her new porn stash. This deal was quickly snapped up by the boy in the photo with Sofia, but with one caveat: If he won the one remaining raffle porn, the deal was off. Well, I don't have to tell you what happened next.
But he was a good egg, decided not to renege, and walked away with a threesome of hot videos for later. So if you see this fine gentleman, give him a knowing nod. We know what he did last March : ) And finally tonight, it's with heavy heart that I bid a fond farewell to Sidecar Bar in Rogers Park. It's been sold and Sunday was the last night. It had become my go-to local hangout, thanks in no small part to my great friend and bartender Petar. It's nearly impossible to imagine what Ialong with the fellow members of Nerdcore will do every Tuesday without our trivia and Petar's "larges" and "gooblets." I'll follow you anywhere, Petar!
