Halloween Begins!

Max, the son of my co-worker Steve and his wife Jill, dropped by in the cutest fireman outfit. Awwww! Yes, Halloween begins. It's downhill from here.

'One Night in Bangkok' Halloween Bash

Asians and Friends Chicago is having a "One Night in Bangkok Halloween Bash" at a club here in town. We've already sold 70 tickets!I'll be performing as a nun--my friends and I are producing the Christmas version of "Nunsense," so we'll be doing a preview.

My Class Reunion

I decided to wear the big dress for my 25th reunion. Saw some gays and took a couple of pics. Nothing fancy. Had a ball though.

What I Do for a Living

Here's a link to a video segment I did while at the annual convenience-store convention in Atlanta. Our on-site photographer also caught a photo of me while on the job. I aim to amuse.

Jen and Joe Show Preview

We had such a school-night ball having Jen and Joe preview their Nov. 20 show at The Call in Andersonville. They added to their quirky song repertoire with "Lucky" and "Soul Sister." We watched Glee afterwards and ate pizza. And of course, had to go to Karaoke later that night.

'Coda' Rests

My music teacher's dog had to be put down last week. "Coda" was such a polite dog and always respectful of my bad notes (he never howled). We'll miss him.

Billy Elliott Chicago

Bob and I had the most wonderful time this afternoon watching our friends Nancy and Scott's son Elijah perform in the Chicago touring company of Billy Elliott. Elijah plays the "small boy" and he really pops out about four or five times during the show. The production was great. I saw it in New York two years ago and forgot how moving it was. We went to the backstage door, met the family and we all went to have a fine dinner at a nearby restaurant. Was a wonderful afternoon.

Hotlanta Pride!

Had the best time staying over in Atlanta after my convenience-store conference. It was Atlanta's Pride Weekend and I even marched in the parade with Asians and Friends Atlanta. Stayed with wonderful people all weekend and got the whole experience. Even saw the "Broke Straight Boys (dot) com" guys!

Dim Sum Sunday

The party continues. Here we are at Dim Sum the next day (well, between Dim Sum and going to Crew for a beergarita.

Wine Tasting

Had a bunch of friends over for a wine tasting that was so much fun. Bob bought several Argentinian wines and we all went to town. Was great fun with a wonderful set of folks.
