Well, it's Friday night. Are YOU going out???

[LilBit]

Li'l Bit went to Durham with a friend to see the Indigo Girls. 'Twas fantastic. :~D

[frankfrank]

Friday night, for me, was actually an opportunity to mark something off my "BUCKET LIST." I went to the "O" show [CIRQUE DU SOLEIL] in Las Vegas, something that I've wanted to do since I first saw one of their shows on TV more than 20 years ago. I didn't realize they actually have a number of different shows.

That is quite a show, for those who are inclined to see over-the-top performance art: extreme acrobatics, swimming formations, trapezes, fire, flying humans catching each other, light shows, comedy, daredevil dives, etc. The stage/set is amazing...between deep water, dry stage settings, and a seemingly infinite number of combinations including both, the set is more of a shape-shifter than Mitt Romney. (oops...haha)

The name of the show is actually a French pun..."O" sounds the same as the word eau which is, of course, water. It's probably the only word in the world which has three vowels, and sounds exactly like a fourth (unrelated) vowel.

As it is NOT a traveling show, but permanently in place at the Bellagio Casino, one would need to go to Las Vegas to see this. At least, I doubt it travels at all. Replicating the stage/set elsewhere would be almost impossible.

****************
Speaking of wordplay, can anybody think of the 5-letter English word which, when you remove the final four letters of the word, it's still pronounced the same? (SMALL HINT, OF SORTS: I had to spend a few minutes, waiting for my turn to pick up the Cirque du Soleil ticket, at the Will Call window.)

It is a busy week and busy month. We met some friends at Secrets on Wednesday night, had a Pride event on Thursday and birthday party at Nellie's Sports Bar on Frida. last night was the Miss Adams Morgan Pageant --2,400 in drag and various other costumes (or lack thereof) supporting 10 contestants vying for the title of "Miss Adams Morgan" which brings only that honor and nothing else. Lol!

My husband does hair so it's his really usy time of year. Being on the Capital Pride board, I have to also drag him to a ton of events between now and Halloween including the 17th High Heel Race and a host of parties. Actually he drags far better than I...lol!

[Rickrock]

Friday night I went to Beck Center in Lakewood/Cleveland to see the play, The Little Dog Laughed. There were a couple of hot guys in the play who each had a couple of moments of nudity. Not only did I enjoy that, but I also enjoyed the play.

Saturday I went to see the play, Bus Stop, at Cleveland State University. There were a couple of hot guys in that as well, but no nudity. I enjoyed that play as well.

I went to both of these by myself because I have no one to go with, but it's better than sitting at home if I have the money and feel like going out.

[miaedu]

I'm in the mood to go out dancing and JIMPSTER is spinning tonight!

Freak Seven - We Bring The Music - Jimpster Remix

[reone]

Definitely not. I'm snuggled up with movies and the Internet. I almost got hit twice by terrible drivers on my way home from dinner...Atlanta drivers and traffic sucks.

[ixthrock]

too broke even for happy hour, and, even were i not...
meh.
I've got my homemade cocoa with cinnamon and cayenne and little marshmellows. mmmm spicy cocoa

[LilBit]

Li'l Bit is going to a cheesy Christmas sweater party. Li'l Bit bought a terribly ugly sweater for the occasion. Last year he was more creative. He took a cookie cutter and made some Christmas-tree-shaped slices of cheese and pinned them to a sweater. (The cheese was in plastic bags.)

[Harke the Boeotarch]

^ I'm going to the leatherbars again, Bill Cosby.

[ryanboy]

Since I'm single again (not my choice) I'll be whoring again tonight. The first guy that hits on me has me for the night!

[miaedu]

staying in tonight.

[ravenstar]

It's Saturday afternoon here, but I didn't go out on Friday. I went to bed and watched the rest of the mentalist season 4 and E-Cupid on DVD. I know I'm a party animal.

[reone]

E-Cupid was cute and campy. I enjoyed the end of it, from what I can remember.

And I'm not going out. I'm bundled up under my blankets where it's warm >_<.

[mikey3000]

I took my daughter to The Eaton Centre downtown to spend a gift certificate she got for Christmas. She treated me to fries and a coke at McDonalds. It was pretty nice.

[MoufOfKhaos]

Nope, on lortab so I can't drink anyway.

[cgymike]

No will stay in tonite but go out tomorrow night.

[geloge]

I took a walk in my hometown. Then I went to the only gay bar I know here (actually a lesbian bar), have a beer and go back to home. Tonight I was planning to meet some old friends.

[thewiz]

Had a great Friday. We saw "Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Harmon Hall of Shakespeare Theater after an afternoon of pedicure, manicure, massage, and facial time! We changed out of our suits and ties to harnesses and joined friends at the DC Eagle! lol! The hubby said we went from one costume to another. Had great drinks, enjoyed friends from Florida who were visiting, and returned home early this morning. Today has been a rather blah day with rain, snow, gray skies, and cold. I guess it's time for the gym, perhaps a movie, and then dinner at CityZen.

[G-Lexington]

Been fighting off a cold, so it's early bed and books or me.

Lex

[BronzeBoyturnedBronzeMan]

saw the nets win at the barclay 2nite, with the pops. saw jay-z. t'was very cool

[miaedu]

Finally got cool here today, low 60sF. Friends visiting from Europe had their flight cancelled but I'm going to do what we had planned in their honor: dinner, haitian street party, art opening, clubbing.

[AshyPhoenix]

I'm going to a rehearsal to help a friend of mine out. The cast is off-book so I'm going to be the line prompter. I really don't feel like going, but I promised my friend that I would, so despite feeling like shit (stomach flu) I'm just going to have to suck it up. I've disappointed enough people lately; I don't need to disappoint my best friend as well.

[maxpowr9]

Work in the AM so again, no. Almost done with my Svedka which makes me happy. I can then stop drinking coke!

[Pianist]

No, but I hope to be going out tomorrow night after our concert.

[Rolyo85]

I'm going in actually

[JockBoy87]

Strip club.. to remind myself of what I used to look like

[Adrock-JD]

Nope. Tomorrow night.

Tonight I have a date with Bill Maher (HBO) followed by a fling with Spartacus (Starz).

[LilBit]

Hell no. It's too damn cold.

[ronboy]

My brother and sister-in-law came over for dinner. I made tuna steaks...

[loki81]

just getting home from a date... wish I knew how it went. lol.

guess we'll see if we're still texting tomorrow. haha. he's cute and sweet, but there were some awkward silences and I'm not sure how much of a connection there was.

[umjreon88]

I DID! WOOHOO! Celebration of the last Friday of my 24th!! Went to Heaven and shaked my bootie!!

[thewiz]

I did manage to go out to Mo's in San Diego for some nachos and a couple drinks. The guys were particularly hot and I got two unsolicited kisses along with a big hug from the waiter who we have come to know following a number of visits! But I didn't reset my time clock since I was only going to be there three days so I was up every day about 3 a.m. and in bed by 8 or 9 each night! lol! The getting up at 3 a.m. certainly caused me to go through the lube I brought....

[miaedu]

just got in from going to a friends opening and late night jazz at one of our local museums.

[thewiz]

I think the hubby is about exhausted after working all day and then having to head up a hair show at the Huxley, a new club in DC. He had to do Miss Pakistan, Miss Top Model, and a couple others with his crew; he did enjoy getting called onstage and all the lights and requests for appointments!

Tonight some friends are sponsoring an event at Cobalt and we will again be out late...glad tomorrow is soon here!

[Ninja108]

I had to stay in to take care of the boi. Here's hoping I don't get sick before next weekend.

[G-Lexington]

Went to the lacrosse game, watched the team completely get their asses handed to them (as I expected). Went to the bar inside the venue to have drinks with our friends, and some of the players joined us. We then were invited to join the players at another bar some distance away. We did, and to our surprise, they showed up. We actually had long and fun conversations with a lot of them. (The biting incident I'll save for the other thread.)

Then somebody swiped my partner's iPhone. We have the "where's my iPhone" app, so we watched as it left the area and ended up in a spot far to the northeast. We drove over there, but couldn't pinpoint the location. After spending a couple hours trying to figure out what to do, we went home, and I finally got to bed around 5am. That could've gone better.

Lex

[Pianist]

Have the flu... major joint ache, dry cough, fever that comes and goes... I feel like absolute crap so I ain't goin' anywhere for another few days.

[cgymike]

It's Saturday and I'm going out shopping in a while. Need some crispbread, fish, salad, and paper towels.


gggggggggg

[JP.]

Shopped earlier for food
it's mackerel in olive oil with marinated artichoke and capers

[miaedu]

Unfortunately someone close has passed so I will be with their family tonight.

[animalius]

My boyfriend and I will go out to dinner and then go see that new movie Warm Bodies tonight. It's our date night! Try to guess what we will do after we get home after the movie

[LilBit]

Li'l Bit is going out to celebrate a friend's birthday.

[geloge]

I'm back after some beers

[frankfrank]

No out-and-abouting for me tonight. It's another work night.

Being self employed, there's no such thing as a mere 40-hour work week.

[AshyPhoenix]

I'm helping a friend out with rehearsals, so no. And I'm perfectly okay with that.

[G-Lexington]

Nope. I've got a stack of music about yay high demanding my attention.

Lex

[-Callum-]

Nope. Played some Warcraft. Got a migraine. Took T3s. Napped. Read some. Watched a TV show. Trying to sleep. Friends in soon, so I get to hear them bang (yay?). Hope sleep comes before 3AM.

[JWaggy]

My boyfriend and I will go out to dinner and then go see that new movie Warm Bodies tonight. It's our date night! Try to guess what we will do after we get home after the movie

Balance your checkbook?

[ixthrock]

I went, I saw - I wore my new foghorn leghorn silly ear flap hat with braids - what in the hell are those things called?

Why in hell are bartenders so scrumptious?

[RazorzEdge88]

I'll finally make this happen if I win the lottery.
