Looking at this week's cover, I bet a lot of you wish that you were a shamrock, eh? As Kermit said, 'It ain't easy bein' green,' but Daniel sure makes it look that way. Stop in to Katerina's on Irving Park and show him what you've got on your tongue (and on your mind.)
Here's Bruno at Touché, who's always been a smiling face to run into at an ungodly hour of the morning. We need more Brunos!
This issue is officially designated as the graysong Birthday issue. If you see our beloved features editor out this weekend, please purchase him a shot of tequila, but beware. Funny thing about tequila and graysong—he says one too many shots and his ass always seems to hurt the next day. Peculiar, huh? Don't ask how old he is, either. That's another sore area.
Wednesday night at Hydrate was a treat, except for the fact that I lost Florence's lens cap. If anyone should happen to find it, I will be quite thankful (keeping in mind, I am spoken for.) Anyway, the place was rocking. Tajma Hall was running the shit out of that room, as is her habit. Paula Sinclaire, pictured below was 'Divine-ly' frighteneing as a fire-engine redhead. Also bumped into Francesco from Jackhammer, enjoying a night on the town. Oh, to be a fly on his jeans! Check out The Spread to see what I mean.
Picture 3 was taken at Spin, where the boy on the right was way happy to have his picture taken. Poor boy had to put down his beloved dog and was out to get himself happy. We at Nightspots wish him the very bestest!!!
Speaking of which, I'd like to extend my condolensces to the
family and friends of Nightspots delivery diva, Audrey, who passed away last week. She was a vital part of the organization and will be sorely missed.
Sorry for the emotional downturn in the column, but let's pick it back up. Here's a thing—Kirk's got himself a boyfriend! I'm just as shocked as you, trust me. He's
wonderful, supportive, beautiful and, most importantly, doesn't give two fucks about having his picture in the paper. I'm dying!
Happy anniversary wishes go out to Bucks and The Baton. Bucks will be celebrating number 21 (old enough to drink) and The illustrious Baton is going on 35 (old enough to be president. Milestones all around. See their ads for more details.
Oh, and yeah, every bar on Earth (or at least in Nightspots) is doing something or other for St. Patrick's Day this year. So put on your drinkin' dress and join me for a green drink at any number of bars!
