My DC Debut

I have to admit I was very nervous about doing shows in Washington DC. I have only played DC before. Once was 16 years ago at The Kennedy Center with the Pacific Northwest Ballet from Seattle. The second time was a few years ago with Lady Bunny in “Absolut Live,” a five city tour for Absolut Vodka. But this would be the first time doing my solo show.



I decided to do two small shows just to test the waters. I performed at the Warehouse Theater and both shows were sold out! I was so happy! All my friends were there and I had the time of my life. The shows went very well.



Afterwards my friends took me out to a fancy restaurant called OYA. WOW, it was beautiful, but RETARDED! I hate over- priced tiny food. I mean I had just wiggled on stage for over an hour and I was hungry!! So we finished our $300 meal and got a slice of pizza!



Over the two nights I was there my friends took me on a tour of the local gay bars. First we went to Be Bar and it was beautiful. But after one drink I had to place my fingers on everyone’s necks to see if they had heartbeats. Then I did it to all the walls of the bar and concluded that the entire place had no soul, just people standing around looking at each other. BORING! Then we went on to Cobalt and had fun except for the fact that the smoking law hasn’t gone into effect yet. I’m going back after January 1. Too late. I think I left with a small tumor. I also went to The Diner and had a blast! Love that bar. It’s a neighborhood restaurant/bar and had the nicest people. Super cute boys and the owner was dream.



Then we got a phone call from some other friends who were at the Eagle. I told my friends I wanted to go. They said, “NO WAY! We are not taking you to the Eagle.” I said, “ Wanna Bet!” LOL We had so much fun at the Eagle. (They don’t normally let ladies in but since I had a full page article about me in the Washington Blade they made an exception.) We drank one dollar beers and laughed a lot! We had a great time. But talk about smoking! OH MY GOD! (This time it was Cigars. I’ve never understood that fetish.) I left with three more tumors.



All in all I had the time of my life and am looking forward to visiting DC again. A special Thank You to all my friends in DC and to my new friends as well. See you soon!
