I was very sad when I saw this on the news yesterday.

I watched it last night on the news. But it wont hit till friday night when there is no happy hour to go too.

Mat,

Are you even old enough to go into a bar?

[mateo]

Posted: 8/22/07 at 8:02pm

I'm 24. So yeah.


And a big Jackie Beat fan - I used to go a lot, not much any more- and seemingly not for awhile.

Are you in LA?

I used to live 30 min North of LA.

Now I live much further East - So I don't get out there much any more.

Is A Different Life safe? How about the East-West Club?

I think you mean A Different Light? The bookstore.

News reports said that the fire was prevented from spreading to other businesses.

I remember when Mickeys used to be THE FOUR STAR!

Mickeys! I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news yesterday. I dated a crazy-hot bartender from Mickeys once, but I haven't been in there in years, now.

That was a lifetime ago.

They DID have a good happy hour, Dame!

It didn't burn down. I'm sure it'll be up and running again soon!

And Jackie Beat (aka Kent Fuher) was in a movie with me - playing a straight man. (Which is finally coming out - albeit straight to video - this Fall!) I need to go catch her at Hamburger Mary's someday.

"I remember when Mickeys used to be THE FOUR STAR!"


AHHHH! I did my very first LA show in there. It was a comedy review with myself, Gender, Chi Chi LaRue and Vaginal Creme Davis.


That was a while back!

Actually Erika... it did. The structure is still standing.. but nothing else is. Just stopped to take a look on my way home.

Awh, Mickey's was always a fun place to go when I could not think of anything better to do. Hope they can salvage it.

Glad to know A Different Light is still there.

They'll put something else in that spot - probably sooner than later. I mean, those dancing boys have to have SOMEWHERE to go!

And Mateo - how FAR east?

[TheatreDiva90016]

Now maybe they'll put something nice in there.

What, like a church?

[TheatreDiva90016]

Posted: 8/23/07 at 11:05am

That's ALL those boys would need, ANOTHER reason to get down on their knees.

TheatereD SNAP!



The old Four Star, where Jim J Bullock hit on me...that's when I knew I had arrived! One rumor was that the owners had put it up for sale about a month ago, so the timing of said fire is a bit suspect!

Have they figured out the cause of this disco inferno?

b12b: I had heard on the news that they thought it started in the heating/cooling system. But they also implied it didn't burn all the way down, so who knows?

I'm so shallow. Ever since I heard this yesterday, I can't stop thinking about that cute Mickeys bartender from "my past." He looked like the comic book Superman!

Didn't dress that way, though.

It was brief, but memorable. I stopped dating "the help" after that.
