It's Wednesday, it's cold and rainy here in New York and yes, if you've been reading my blog the past couple days, I'm still sick. Ugh. So it's unlikely that I'll be coming to the show tonight unless I throw on a hospital mask and a pig snout. Ok it's not swine flu (I'm always a little piggy though) but it still sucks as hard.

Fortunately my pals Amanda Takehometomother and photographer AB will amuse you throughout the night as we raise funds for scholarships to the Gay Games! Amanda's coming in some Hairspary inspired outfit which oughta be great! She'll take over for me throughout the night and host our annual costume contest for which the prize is $100. The only rules are: they must be actual costumes (ie my pig snout and mask wouldn't cut it unless I was also wearing a surgeon's lab coat smeared with flem and stuff or something) AND there must be three contestants. As always it's all about the audience's applause that gets the winner the cash.
We also have singer Dan Crowley who'll be joining us and doing a couple numbers. Dan is really great and I'm sorry that i'm going to miss him!
Unfortunately we won't be seeing Conner Habib.. I can't say I still understand the whys but he's here on the east coast visiting from San Francisco but not planning on being in NYC til later in the week (why then did he book the night??). Oh well, we do have videos that he's in from Raging Stallion so it'll be sorta kinda like he's here with us. (or rather there, with you)
Anyway, we have Halloween night tickets to Dance 208 where they too also do an annual costume contest (some of the most inventive I've ever seen) as well as two tickets to give away (one way or another) for the Saint at Large's Halloween bonanza which will start at 4am on November 1st - long after the amateur partyers have passed out in overpriced taxis ferrying them around the city without the meter on.
As always Bingo is at Pieces tonight from 8 to 10 .. cheap drinks and even cheaper men!

AFTER Bingo, Mike Dreyden and Max Sinclair are throwing a sex party at Paddles... it opens at 8 but the show with the guys doesn't start til 11....!
If you want a little culture thrown into your Halloween mix, then consider joining the group Uptown Express at the Metropolitan Room at 7:30 on Thursday October 29th. I love this group and you will too! Find all the deets at
the Uptown website 
Then on Halloween night itself, join promoter Joe Fiore for his annual costume contest and Halloween extravaganza featuring the Imperial Court and the Metrobears. DJ Rich King from Snaxx spins! 9pm til 1am
Finally, it's the Saint at Large Halloween extravaganza featuring DJs Hector Fonceca, Junior, Randy Bettis and Michael Magnan spinning from 4am to
(yikes!) 4:30 pm at Pugatorio at 268 W. 47th Street .. find out where to get tickets and more details
at the Saint siteAs for me, I'm heading back to bed for the rest of the week but will try to do updates to the blog as often as is realistically possible... coming on November 4th to Bingo: Trai la Trash and on November 11th: Matthew Rush who will also perform at Splash that Friday the 13th! Cool stuff coming up in November.. it's sweeps!
(my apologies to all those above that I should have linked but didn't because I'm too damn tired.. it's nothing personal, my brain is hurting and I need to get back to bed)
