The Best 3 ½ Inches in Boystown:
I’ve long (Hee Hee) said that I have a good personality for a reason. It makes up for the many areas in my life that I fall short. (Giggles) Now Gayberhood favorite Pie Hole Pizza does it again with the introduction of their new tiny gift card. (See Photo Above) Talk about the perfect gift; plus it makes those late night pizza purchases even easier!

Gay Broadway:
Part of me doesn’t want to tell you about my evening on Saturday night. The hidden secret of Wang’s is one that I don’t really want to get out. Attached to popular Sushibar, Wakamono; Wang’s is a charming little martini bar with a marvelous Oriental flare! Introduced to me a few months ago by Advisor Edward and Dr. Drew, it’s THE perfect place to spend an evening with friends!

Joining me for the evening was socialite blogger, Paul Blackburn; his boyfriend Michael; massage/physical therapist, Travis Ahlquist; his lovely girlfriend Tiffany; their roommate David and the sweet Erik Mitchell Thornton. The service was great as always and we were ministered to in music by the uber-cute Saturday night resident DJ, Jacob Meehan.

DJ Drag:
Heading home for the evening (or is that the morning?) I stopped by Hydrate to say hello to Michal Kosko who was fresh in from GaGa’s concert and sportin the KA-utest hat and guy-liner. A-dor-able! With Michal was the sweet Andrea Wolfe. The sounds of ChicagoPride.com’s own DJ Phil DaBeatz (See Photo by Anthony Mead) were being pulsed throughout the room. Celebrity Dragster, Cyon Flare was on hand offering her usual superb commentary, chant, and cheer! Make no mistake about it, Cyon IS the real deal and has a heart of gold! (Thanks for the dance, Cy!)

Change, Change, Change!:
And so the time has come for my holiday in California with my Sainted Parents to end. (Boo Hoo) Every day has been such a pleasure and I will miss them SO much!

One Last Hurrah!:
In great spirit My Father suggested that we all do brunch at Norma’s at the Parker. As you can tell I adore this little Shangri-La. I was also eager for my Bosom Friend David Beal to see and experience this hot spot. With libations and treats we fellowshipped under a cloudy Palm Springs sky.

Once again, my Father had the bagels and salmon; which was enormous! My more meat and potatoes Mom had bacon and eggs. David Beal and I had the damn tasty Huevos rancheros. (See Photo Above) He loved everything so much he hosted us all. (Thanks David!)

Cheers!:
Saying goodbye to everyone I headed to my plane; which turned out to be overwhelmingly delayed. Thankfully, the Palm Springs airport has free WiFi! It is by said WiFi that I’m able to write this blog. I was also able to catch up via phone with my Besti, Isaiah, and text Erik, Paul and Ronnie.

Additionally, I was able to reunite with my Sainted Parents when they came for their flight. Leave it up to us to enjoy just one more libation before they boarded. Saying goodbye to them and watching them go down the jet way was really hard for some reason! I don’t ever want to know my life without them around. They are THE greatest part about my world! (Okay, enough with my silly emotional talk)

New Year:
Have plans for New Years Eve? If not, check out all the fun events in the ChicagoPride.com New Year’s Event Planner. I hope this year is a blessed one for you!

Heading home to Boystown!

Palm Springs:
Greetings from the dessert! At the behest of my Sainted Parents I joined them on the sojourn to warm southern California for a holiday. True to form, my Parents are great company to be around.

Equally as charming are my Brother David and his partner (Yep, there are two of us in the Fam.) Clifford! We are staying with the boys and their cute dogs, Angus and Gavin, at their beautiful desert oasis.

Breki:
Saturday’s always begin with breakfast with my Besti, Isaiah. Since he was not able to join us this trip, I had the pleasure of my Fathers company for Breakfast. Golly, the two of us are like peas in a pod! We had a perfect time people watching and telling stories.

Heaven:
This afternoon, the five of us decided to take lunch at Norma’s at the Parker Le Maridian. Set amidst palm trees and landscaped gardens this lovely spot was pioneered by Hollywood stars from the 30’s to the 70’s (See Photo Above). This Jonathan Adler-designed hotel was made famous in 1999 when actor Robert Downey, Jr. had his last drug bender. I have to say, it was such a charming venue; I couldn’t help but think of the countless friends I thought would adore such a setting!

More from the desert in the next few days!

Fools get Four:
I can’t begin to say how proud I am of the boys at Feast of Fun for winning the 2009 People's Choice Podcast Award for "Best GLBT" podcast.

This is the fourth year in a row that the daily talk show hosted by Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion won in the "Best GLBT" podcast category in the People's Choice Podcast Awards.

If you’ve not had the chance to hear the boys for your self, you can find them free through the iTunes Music store: www.feastoffun.com. Feast of Fun is a mix of social news, rising trends, in-depth interviews and live music sessions, described as "the best of the net in real-time with a gay slant."
