Posted: 8/3/05 at 1:25pmIs 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!

Posted: 8/3/05 at 10:58pmWCA - 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."

Posted: 8/4/05 at 10:02amSo.. what would be a good week of gay night life in Chicago? Take me one by one Monday thru Sunday.
#19re: Sidetrack in Chicago
Posted: 8/4/05 at 10:16amActually, 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.

Posted: 8/4/05 at 1:31pmFor 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?

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.
