It's the third Quarter of 2009 and I keep asking "my, my how time fly's" when you are burning the candle at both ends. Yes my readers, just when I did a down shift, the daily grind said "no way," it's a up shift that this machine needs. And away I went to the Big Chair for more updates, observations, spins, and just plain old stuff from the GLBTQ community and beyond. Here we go...
FED UP Update: Last week the FUQ group had a sorta meet and greet that I unfortunately wasn't able to attend. To date I'm still sorting through exactly what transpired before I post concerning the matter. However, as usual, one new subscriber alerted me that juxtaposed to those "positions" taken by the group regarding Mr. Jones allowing HIV/AIDS materials in his businesses, supposedly there's been a mindset change on this front. Allegedly Jones' has "OK'd" a ASO ( AIDS Service Organization) to begin some type of work at his establishment beginning this Friday. The source didn't exactly detail what ASO, exactly what "work" would be in place or which business would host this group. Stay tuned...
BarWatch: Out of all the material that I review to make the cut for this forum, news from the Bar Scene just keeps coming faster than a drag quick change. Even as the entertainment sector of the community continues to morph, I was broadsided at the news that you can hear echos at UBU. Echo's you say? Yes, apparently in the last few weeks, the tank has been empty as in "No, NaNa, Zero, Zilch, NO one coming through the door patrons. Say What? It's all about that "ebbing and flowing fickleness" of this community that I've been going on about in this forum. Of course, this slight perhaps defection might be temporary, yet in this "Blink" state of mind that exist, it takes everything you've got to keep em coming back, again and again. This can't more disconcerting with the upcoming Miss UBU scheduled for July 17. Hopefully, owners will be able to woo the dire hearts back into the fold, meanwhile I'll have to get back by soon as well! Good luck until then...
Crowns-R-US: In case you didn't realize, we are in the home stretch of Crowns-R-Us with those seeking the state title, Miss Gay Arkansas, set for August 14-16,2009, featuring Stephanie Richards, MGA 08 and Victoria Depaula, Miss Gay America 2009. Each hopeful has deemed this experience as their "quest, journey, campaign and all other manner of describing the ascent in their benefit announcement e-blast. Obviously, it seems that the DSRA clubhouse has been "ground zero" for the cash dashes with Zia D'Yor a few weeks back, upcoming Sasha, July 25 and Diamond Rose, Aug. 1. Each vying for the $2000.00 winner's or $1500.00 1st alternate prize pack from the pageant. Of course, those in pursuit of the titles are not the only one in a cash dash. The pageant itself has sponsorships available ranging from being a mere "friend" for $1 to Bronze for $50 all the way to Platinum for $750. With each level you get more access including being invited to the MGA gala. Sounds like a business plan to me. It's all going down at the BackStreet/Discovery complex and you can get "everything pageant" at the http://www.missgayarkansas.com/ website, including online table reservations and host hotel info.
