The new Robbie Williams album is so bad the only thing it deserves to break is EMI's bank. He is alright though…Better than Jonson and Yawn, for sure

I was in Dallas or I would've most certainly been at McCulloch.

Did you go to Johnny? That was a disgrace also as far as attendance

the whole thing about american idol is that there is perception that being able to sing LOUDLY with lots of "Emotion" is what passes for talent these days. at least in the pop music arena… or being able to jump around like trained monkey doing bland r 'n b songs.

No Johnny for me. We went to Saloon, had two beers, yes you heard that correctly. Jadetree fell asleep and Poorlulu flaked out.

I almost went by myself, I kinda wish I had, but he was only here 3 months ago….

i'm a sad git for knowing this and even sadder git because i got the info from entertainment weekly….

205 is the area code for his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. 205 Flava is a local clothing compan which supplies him with his shirts… needless to say they are counting the benjamines these days!

You should've gone to Johnny on you're own, there were three of us lads there and we had a laugh.

We went to Polly's for ONE! What's up with a pint of flat and stale Guiness and a nasty watered-down pint of Bass for $14.40??? Last time in that shit hole I can tell you. If they're going to fuck you royally on the beer, the least they could do is not look at you like you're being a pain in the arse when trying to get a pint and therefore interrupting them from talking and laughing with the regulars. Then we walked down towards the Black Cat and stopped off at some bar just a block up 14th on a corner. Didn't realize it was a gay bar until one of the blokes at the bar handed us a pack of playing cards with pictures of naked men with stiff willies. We decided Chris looked the gayest of the three of us so we tried to find a nice boy for him. Loads of "Graces" in there too looking for their gay roommates I suppose. Anyway it's a good bar if you're not a homophobe. Went in the redroom looking at all those who enjoy being looked at while having a pint, then off upstairs once the support band had finished. Johnny did about an hour and got the hell out of there, can't say I blame him though. Not a very responsive crowd and a small crowd at that.

I knew I should have gone….

You make it sound like a fun night.

How could you not realise that bar was a gay place? Was it really full of Graces? Might be worth checking out afterall….

I have been a bit diasappointed with pollys too.

$20 for a pitcher that does not hold four pints is a bit on the steep side. The saloon is the new pre show beer place, the shame is their food is a bit average…….

Not only was it full of Graces….good looking Graces at that. If a man was so inclined, he could go in there acting gay, then start talking to the chickie-babes because I can only assume they go there to hang around with gay blokes. Then get a couple of phone numbers to go to a Cher concert or Broadway show or something and gradually work his way into their pants…and once you're in…you're in! ;)

mankie, so that was you i saw at johnny marr. i was waiting outside for a friend and 3 english guys walked by me and i thought one was you, but wasn't certain at the time.

what's this gay bar? saint ex? i thought it was mixed? or were you at hamburger marys? cuz that's definitely full of gay men and the girls that love them.

Were you outside waiting for someone or trying to sell their ticket? One of our lot bailed on us at the last minute so I sold his ticket at the door and spoke to a lady there who had been waiting longer so I offered for her to sell her ticket first. Was that you?

I don't remember the name of the bar but it's right on the corner of 14th and somethingorother street on the same side as the Black Cat, about 2 blocks up towards U. I assumed it was all gay or they wouldn't have thought we were gay and shown us pic's of men waving their schlongs at us. The doorman is a tall skinny bloke with a bald head and lamb chop sideburns….which looks utterly stupid by the way.

yep, i think that was me. sounds like you were at saint ex. always thought it was a mixed crowd, but if they were handing out playing cards with naked men, with no naked women, me thinks perhaps it caters to a gay crowd. but perhaps its gay night on friday night now that the panic parties are no longer being held there?

what is it with women and gay men? My wife wants a gay best friend too. I'm assuming it's because there's no sexual tension whatsoever. Men and gay women don't have the same thing do they…we'd only hang out with them because of the slim chance we'd see them kissing each other or they'd give us a show in the bedroom.

well there are fag hags, straight women who hang out with gay guys… i read recently about fag stags, straight guys who hang out with gay guys. straight guys who like to cut loose at a gay dance club once in awhile. behavior which in a straight club would be considered gay, but other straight guys. and to be able to pickup fashion and decorating tips. it's also easier for a straight guy to pickup a straight women in a gay bar. women have their guard down there and are more approachable.

well I am no "fag stag" but will admit the atmosphere in a gay bar is usually much better than in a straight bar.
