In Memoriam


The Happy Place was laid to rest today. Many will remember that room as a cauldron of drunken activity from "Senate" debates in front of Ditmar to sexual hi jinks in the corner out of camera range. Witches, cops, mental patients, politicians, drag queens, scientists, and a lot of normal men and women met and enjoyed each other's company there. There's no use for a long eulogy; it's just gone.

The Happy Place sounds an awful lot like your bedroom ...

As one of the 'normal' people to sit at that bar and hold court, this picture was a bit of a shocker. I think I dubbed my first knights, Bryan and Brian, at that bar.

Oh well, now I can get an ice cream bar!!!

This is really depressing! It's a good thing I'm not there right now or I may just have pulled a "Virgina Woolf". I would have stuck some coral in my bathing suit pockets and kept on walking as far as I could into the ocean until the tide took me away.

Why oh why would anyone want an open air gay bar across from the gay beach, right on Ocean and 12th - when you can have an ice cream parlor there instead! >:|

Alas, the past is gone. The famous "Outside Bar" will become an ice cream parlor where Little Johnny will share a bathroom with a drag queen having difficulty to pee because her pantyhose is too tight. This is the brainchild of a higher being than anyone could imagine; and--my bet--his downfall.

Call me Cassandra.
