BIG GAY QOM - THIS FRIGAY**

Is it possible that queer open mic isn't quite queer enough for you people throughout the year? maybe you want us to up the ante? i am not even sure how we could possibly be even more gayer - but come on over this friday and watch me and sherilyn try :)

for your fancy pants entertainment we decided to get gay grande with some travelin troubadours. that's right people - like all good gaybots in the bay area in june - QOM has some awesome out of town guests that will wow the pants off of you!

honest - but not that deep

home early and feeling pretty sad. i had fun out and about today. i had fun with pals. but now... honestly... kinda sad. home earlier than i wanna be really. last week was all about being out until i got home and passed out without paying attention. i sense this week won't really be quite like that. but in good news - hair got freshened with the red today. woot. and so far i do have a contest running for "most interesting compliment" of june this year. in the lead - from saturday night "well you look like you could be a heroin addict. i mean in a good way. like heroin chic." funniest part - he really did mean it as a compliment.
