I'm back at home in MN, where it is rainy cold this evening. My radiator heat was so high, I am on the verge of roasting to a slow death. I had to pop open 2 windows to try to cool it down.
It's hard to update today. For starters, since I left 2 weeks ago,this is the first time i have been home for more than 45 minutes. After I landed in MSP, I drove down quick to rochester and ran a few errons and had to pay the rent (I forgot that tomarrow was the first), then it was a rush up to deluth for the drag show, and well, it was a long weekend to say the least. ALthough all of us performed well, the crowd was not there, and the few who were there, tipped very shitty. I made 15 bucks off of 5 numbers. By the end of the night, and after falling down the stairs to the dressing room in heals, I was done with it all. I took off all the drag and became boy. I felt that the other girls were mad at me. JT stated that it is a job, and I should keep in drag untill it is over, but at that point, I was beyond exhaustion, and well, frankly over it. The only thing was I got show pay, which helped, but the major shopping spree I did that day and over the weekend, well it won't cover it. O well, cest la vie.
Rich thought my painting of my face (makeup) was inpeckable, which made me happy. I looked fishy!!
Where to begin? The last 2 weeks have been adventures, both good and bad, and interesting. IT will give me enough mind food to last for awhile.
My first stop was Athens Ga. I arrived late in Atlanta, and had yet another hour drive to the town. My rental car was a hot red pontiac sunfire. ONce I checked into the hotel, I went to a cute vege restraunt that was still open called Infusia. THe food was amazing and cheep, and I highly recomend the capacino cheese cake. I had never been in the south before. I struck a conversation with the waitress, and found out how friendly the south really is. THere is absolutely nothing that beats it!! Hands down. She informed me of the Coon incident at UGA which I was totally unaware of. Basically, some college kids beat a coon to death and ate it, and are now facing legal action. It made CNN and the national news. What I found facinating was that one of the shop windows, Junkman's daughter had a very well done, but tacky as hell display of manaquins dressed up as college kids, roasting a stuffed coon (stuffed animal) over a bbq. I got a kick out of it.
The rest of the week was spent checking out the city, and doing some sightseeing. Athens Ga is the home of the band R.E.M., Having been/and still am, a big fan, I did alot of R.E.M. Haunts. ONe of the most memoriable of the haunts was eating at Weaver D's, and meeting mr. Weaver D himself. LOL. One night I went to the Georga Bar, and started a conversation with the bartenders. Actually I took a risk and asked them about the gay bar in town. According to the Dameron (a gay travel guide), it was to be a gay bar. NOt the case. but the bartenders were very friendly. I noticed that everyone one in Athens has there own personal R.E.M. Story. THe female bartender told me what bars Mr. Micheal stipe ("if you go to the 284 club, you might run into Mr. Micheal Stipe") goes to, and that Mike Mills comes to the GA bar alot and she thought he was very friendly.
well that is enough of an update for now...
