Crash, burn and party

7. January 2009 by admin.

We all need a little help after the holidays and I am no exception. 

I don’t crash and I don’t burn.  I am refreshed and loving life.

This morning we shot episode 18 of Talk it Out.  Our special guest was Fritz, Manager of Pittsburgh Eagle.  Fritz updated us on upcoming events at his bar and some insight on buying gay.  And, for those rumor spreaders out there… THE EAGLE IS NOT CLOSING!   According to Fritz, business is good at the Pittsburgh Eagle and at their other clubs; Pegasus and There.  I hear Pegasus now has male dancers every Wednesday night. 

Here is an idea…  How about dancers for women?  This message is not directed at anyone specific.  It is just a logical suggestion.  The women of our community are a very powerful group and when organized, they are unstoppable.  Check out some of the local lesbian blogs and see for yourself. 

It has now been one week since NYE.  The beginning of the month is always interesting around the office.  You never know who might stop in.  Since moving to the South Side, we have noticed a major increase in walk-in traffic.  Folks stop in to pick up the current issue of Out, to inquire about advertising rates, and to drop off classified ads.  Occasionally, we even get customers and friends stopping bye to say hi.   Everyone is welcome here.

I believe the move to the South Side was a great choice.  It seems as if we moved our office only a few months ago.   In reality, it has been almost two years.  What a benefit being only one block from the river and walking trail.  The trail is an incredible bonus during the spring, summer and fall.  When having a stressful day, I take a walk.   The joggers down here look like they are having so much fun and look pretty good while they are doing it.  Maybe I will join their ranks come this spring.

This Friday is SPARK, an annual event by the Delta Foundation.  The party was moved from a mansion on Mt. Washington to the trendy South Side Works at the old Sharper Image location.  These guys (and gals) know how to throw one hell of a party.   This year promises to be the best ever!    Rumor has it that the Fire and Ice themed party will have some outrageous surprises!   Sorry, can’t tell you.  I promised.    For tickets, log onto www.pittsburghpridespace.com, http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/49387 or at the door the night of the event.  The address is 517 27th Street on the South Side.

On a different note.

The Allegheny County Non-Discrimination Ordinance Hearing is approaching.

Call your council member and let them know you want to be protected!
