So it was off to Beloit, WI last week as part of my bi-weekly ‘Get The Living Fuck Out Of Chicago’ tour of the Midwest. I went for a simple college reunion but, wouldn’t you know it, I ended up working. Rumor was there was a new gay bar in town. A gay bar in Beloit? Seems incredible, I know. Hasn’t been tried since the Kloset (a.k.a. The K-loset). Looks like this time it’s gonna stick. The owners Club Impulse seem like really nice guys and I have always had a hankerin’ for them rural boys. So if you find yourself between states and need a whistle-wettin’, be gettin’ to Club Impulse, 132 W. Grand Ave. in Beloit, WI. (608) 361-1374.

What is it lately with me and inappropriate behavior with straight girls? While at Big Chicks, a very nice girl very innocently found her foot in my crotch. I thought this was funny. Maybe her boyfriend didn’t. Who am I to map out the humor of the average straight male? Simple rule of gay comedy: foot in the crotch=funny ha-ha.

For those of you who have never witnessed a UFO or any other other-worldly phenomena—see you at The Windy City Empire’s coronation II. See outgoing royalty David James and Pia Mess (our cover couple) step down in style. Just mind they don’t probe you (!).

Happy 5th anniversary to Scott Free’s Homolatte performance series. See below for details.
