Come on now. You can't say that you've never been hoisted up on a pool table while a band of cowboys had at you. Oh, you can say that? Well, not me. That's what you get for hittin' the trail with the good folks of the Illinois Gay Rodeo Association for their annual 'Fahootched' bar crawl. This year's crawl began at Charlie's. It was the fateful night of that tremendous rainstorm, which affected attendance slightly. But we managed to drink enough for those that didn't make it to the party.
It was off to Crew, where we managed to kidnap Jon B. He had no idea that he was brought along as a plaything, but he sound figured it out as this one tall drink of water ripped Jon's drawers right off, proudly displaying his rended trophy clenched in his teeth. Yeah, a lot of stuff like that happened.
Touché only got more nuts. We finally met up with Cherise. That's me down there doing shots with Cherise and Fifi Depraved ( Fifi, I SOOO owe you a cover ) . Maybe it's the shots that led to the whole hoisted on the pool table incident. Maybe?
One more quick jaunt next door to Jackhammer and it was all down hill. This is where my steel trap of a memory begins to rust.
But enough about my fahootched evening. Let's look to the future, shall we?

Gotta pastry fetish? Then stop in to Bucks on Thursday, August 30 for the Windy City Empire's annual celebrity pie toss, featuring your's truly in the hot seat. The highest bidder gets to suffocate me with dessert. And that don't come cheap.
