Tuesday: 720, Wednesday: Dating Game, Zentra and Evil Olive, Thursday: Rees spins at Spot 6's final Thursday night then Smart Bar, Friday: STAY IN and tape current radio show.
Saturday is my dear friend Rawfood Chris' birthday, and he has staked out a spot for all his friends at the Taste of Chicago for the afternoon Stevie Wonder show. I've been to the Taste twice before and swore I would never set foot in that agglutination of people and food and irritation. When we get to Grant Park it is bursting with bodies, every square inch of grass and concrete taken. I am looking for the cursed balloons that he used as markers for his spot, and it literally takes us 1 hour to move 20 feet. I scream at ignorant blubbers of non-movement. I want to fight someone so I freely word vomit expletives. We finally give up looking for our friends and get the hell out of there. Never the Taste again!
Afterwards we go to The Attic's chill and awesome picnic at 63rd and Hayes, and Gene Hunt and Emanuel are beating it! I meet 2 adorable little girls who are eager to please and offer to hand out all our magazines and fliers. I love little girls and they tend to love me (it's the evil aunt syndrome, I'm the one who shows them how to put on makeup and wear slutty clothes). I've always wanted a daughter :)
Saturday night we go to hear the lovely Josh Milan of Blaze at Cuatro, and he has the crowd GOING! Me and my friends then rush over to catch Chip E's set at Cafe Lura, then head over to an afterset at the Silver Room where Josh, Vic Lavender and Glenn Underground played. The next day is the Pride Parade and I promised myself that I wouldn't miss it this year... PROMISED myself. I missed it. My brain cells are still finding their way back into my head, but it feels like they took a detour and ended up in some club's dumpster.
DON'T FORGET THIS THURSDAY JULY 3rd IS THE GIFT! FRANKIE KNUCKLES' FREE PARTY! YOURS TRULY WILL BE CO-HOSTING ALONG WITH D&E'S FREDERICK AND DENNIS! I'D BETTER SEE YOU ALL THERE!!! :)
