Is that the piano bar where the 2 drag queens perform? I was there last year and they were terrific.

No, PalJoey. Sidetrack is a video bar. I'm not sure about the place you have described. Maybe it was a specific performance at Gentry.

Unfortunately, Jarico will not be in town when you arrive, DAME. He returns to Spain on August 28.

Showtunes are 6-9 on Friday. What time will you be there and how can I identify you?

I've been craving a slushy drink & some showtunes!

Joe - Check my fan pics. You can see both me and Jarico. We will be in the front bar with the big video screen around 6-ish. We usually grab a table. I'll be the one with a slushie drink.

PalJoey, are you speaking of Honey West and Alexandra Billings at Gentry? They are FAB!

I've met her and she's a nice ....oh I don't know. ?!?!?
Wish I had seen Musical Hamlet at Shakespeare.
I think her first song was "Something Stinks".

Right now Alexandra is doing "The Princess and the Pea" and "Comedy of Errors" at Chicago Shakespeare.

She and Honey West are really a hot ticket. :)

WCA - I really must get out more often. The Princess and the Pea is Rick Boyton and Marc Robin?? Rick is one of the funniest actors - even though I believe that he has given up the craft. I knew Marc from years ago, but have not seen him now that he is "famous."

Actually, I don't go out much, so I would be the wrong person to ask. I don't like House music, so I don't go to any of the dance clubs. I'm going to try @tmosphere tonight because they are supposed to have 80s music.

For the record, Alexandra, who is indeed fabulous, is not a drag queen.

I saw Alexandra in a show at Steppenwolf where she had a nude scene a while back and I can testify that she is a whole lot of Woman!

Honey is a Drag Queen, albeit one with a lovely voice.

And a week of nightlife in chicago-- old school style as I haven't been a nightlife queen since I settled down with my man many years ago:

Monday Showtunes at Sidetrack
Tuesday Strippers at Berlin
Wednesday Whatever they call it at Cocktail
Thursday take a night off (Or strippers at Madrigals)
Friday Shower contest at Spin
Saturday I guess you have to go to Roscoes
Sunday What's that bar where Manhole used to be?

Manhole - do you mean the one my father visited in 1993?

Hydrate is the new dance club where Manhole used to be. I've never been to it. Here's a link for everything Boystown.

I love Sidetrack. I thought they only did showtunes on Mondays, though.

But, I must say, sometimes it's sad seeing all those cute boys and I can't have my way with any of them.

Woe is me.
