tomorrow night, August 1st, from 6 to 9 I start work at Splash doing their Sunday night Bingos! Great prizes and more! Come on down!

THE BIG GAY ICE CREAM TRUCK DANCE. NO, REALLY.

This is what happens when you're sick - you miss things like guest Doug Quint and guest host Damon L. Jacobs doing the "Big Ice Cream Truck" dance to the tune and lyrics put forth by the amazing Jane Wiedlin (who was supposed to have been our guest that night before her big fall down the mountain this spring!) . Yes, it's fun and silly but isn't that what summer and ice cream (not to mention P*rno Bingo) is all about? Thanks to my other guest host AB for shooting this!

I think this was a first for me - coming to Bingo and leaving not even halfway through due to illness. I guess I've just been running myself ragged these past few weeks ... but that happens and life goes on.

The guys, AB, Damon and Doug, helped Braking the Cycle rider Kip raise $415 for the charity, which was matched by corporate sponsor Google which gave us a night total of $830. Awesome. Coming up later in the weekend, pictures from the last couple weeks of Bingo as I catch up as I normally do.

Anyway, here's a little video of part of the dance .... I love it when my friends express their joy, I am all about jumping for as much joy as we can muster, create, generate, pass along and express in this life - and so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!

 

guesses his invite to chelsea's wedding got lost in the mail but will send the blender to them anyway

SO PROUD OF ELIZABETH HASSELBECK AND HER TINY WHITE FISTS OF RAGE

Being sick affords one all sorts of pleasures  - such as ordering in from the deli, watching dvred episodes of LIFE ON THE D LIST and catching THE VIEW.

Today was a particularly interesting ep of THE VIEW that I wouldn't have caught had I not been bed-bound - the President was the guest and the ladies did what the ladies do best - bombard their guests with questions that they have been written down for them on notecards that they hold in front of them er I mean, thought up entirely themselves..

Anyway, Barbara came up with good meaty stuff and Joy threw her two cents worth in and hell even Sherri came up with a mostly decent question (which fortunately had nothing to do with the shape of the planet we live on) but it was Elizabeth who, as usual, shook her tiny white fists in rage against the big bad Democratic President who was proud about 'saving jobs' and there was Elizabeth trying to roast him on a stick saying that 'saving jobs' wasn't anything to be particularly proud of and what about all the people that had lost their jobs (I guess momentarily forgetting - oopsie that Mr. Obama has been fighting day and night to extend UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS but it's the REPUBLICANS who have been blocking it... although this might be old news because I've been on vacation for most of the last week but still...) The President's response was, as always, reasoned and smart and even, did I detect a note of attack in there about 'people who still have their jobs" a jab at Elizabeth herself who really should have been fired eons ago but they've kept her on.. why? Maybe to remind middle American housewives just how batshit crazy EH's party is. 

Except poor sad Elizabeth doesn't yet quite realize that without the stimulus, without health care, without saving the banks and the auto industry and without taking action against H1N1 (the biggest non story there ever was precisely because there was such swift action taken to prevent it) there would be no jobs to save.

Without long term solutions to some very real, very large problems, we would really be in a jam. You think we have had it hard in this country the past couple years? It is nothing compared to how bad it could have gotten. (I will here and now admit that every President probably has such situations - times when action means that a crisis - or at least a worse crisis - is avoided; although this in no way excuses Mr. Bush for dragging us kicking and screaming into Iraq and then leaving us there without a plan).

Anyway, I think Elizabeth thinks that she's the New Rosie O'Donnell rising up against The Man in open defiance. But where Rosie had actual truth and intelligence on her side (even if Rosie's now rewritten history to pretend that her very real, very awesome flare-ups against 8 years of pure evil were all about menopause.. something I may never forgive her for, but it's not like Rosie and I travel in the same circles, so whatever, right?) Elizabeth just has the shrill voice and those tiny white fists. It was her one chance to engage the President in a very real way and she totally blew it because she chose to make it a 'gotcha' question to which he simply quietly responded to, making her look like a total tool.

I should also add that I liked how Mr. Obama talked extensively how he largely ignores the negative attacks because he knows it's all to simply fill air time. I don't think he directly looked at Elizabeth but in the Mad Magazine world, his shadow was sticking out his tongue and giving her the razzzberry.

So what am I proud of Elizabeth Hasselbeck today? For the great feat of getting her name bounding and rebounding around teh internets today even if it proves once and for all how hollow and sad her attempts to be the mouthpiece for the Republican Party on daytime TV are.

See, this is what happens when I'm stuck in bed nursing aches and pains!

I THINK I SAW CRACK

.. and I don't mean the butt kind. Seriously, this You Tube sensation is what happens when you combine Jennifer Hudson with Elizabeth Berkley and throw in a pair of the most fabulous sunglasses ever.

Naturally the best part about it is the fact that no one really pays attention because if you've ever been on a New York subway, you know this stuff happens routinely.. not as often as it used to - the economy has driven even the crazies from the city and with yet ANOTHER fare hike proposed soon only the very rich will be able to ride the subway (and why would they want to?)  - anyway, this kind of thing is a New York tradition - there should be more wailing drag queens on the trains not less!

sorting through email, posting on the blog again, getting the wheels turning after vacation! Back to work!

THERE IS NOTHING MORE AWESOME THAN THIS

GOOD MORNING NEW YORK, BIG GAY ICE CREAM TRUCK BINGO TONIGHT

Now you know I love New York but I had such a blast in Montreal, I don't know that I can even write anything to adequately describe my adventures. This trip is probably filed under "saved for the biography" because it was so sexy, raunchy and wild that I think Typepad would melt if I tried to write an accurate description of the weekend's events. So suffice it to say that a good time was had by all (and by "all" I mean "me"). Thanks to my friends Chris and Paul who housed me during the debauch (and even made sure I had chicken again before I left.. 'chicken' is not a euphemism btw).

Tonight, we'll gather together again for the weekend P*rno Bingo extravaganza, this week featuring the Big Ice Cream Truck's Doug Quint as my guest to benefit Braking the Cycle. This is the first of 7 big Braking the Cycle nights between now and September 8th after which we'll resume our usual 'different charity every week" schedule but I feel so strongly about the Ride and the great feelings that the Ride itself generates as well as the income it brings to the LGBT Center for it's HIV/AIDS programs, that I just couldn't say no when the offer came up to do so many weeks!

Anyway, I'll have ticket giveaways from MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING and Bianca Leigh's show A NIGHT AT THE TOMBS and of course the usual assortment of XXX prizes including a final round gift from Eden Fantasys.

See you at Pieces from 8pm to 10pm for a rousing night of the fabulous New York sensation, P*rno Bingo (so good it's been stolen by Stock Bar in Montreal ... I'm vaguely appalled but I guess there's something to be said for imitation - of course it's not imitation, it is out and out theft but unless I want to go to international court, I have to leave it be... grumble grumble). 

packing up from an incredible time in Montreal, taking the train back to NYC and back to work on Wednesday!

ERIC YORK FLIPS OFF REPUBLICANS
