The Great Minnesota State Fair: Coming Soon!

For those of you who aren’t so privileged to live in Minnesota, we have the largest State Fair in the country next to the Texas State Fair.

Brass Rail Lounge Won’t Open Until Labor Day

Peter Hafiz must be pulling his hair out by now and the City of Minneapolis isn’t helping. By my calendar, the earliest he’s going to be able to open the Brass Rail Lounge will be September 1st.

My Tweeting Around

I opened a Twitter account under the name Fruit_F_Fly.  I’m enjoying it, I think.  It’s kinda fun.  You get to feel like you’re Jesus Christ and other Twitterers follow you around like they’re your desciples.  I just got a note saying Michele Bachmann is one of my “desciples” now.  Wretched thing.  Now she’s going to [...]

Fruit F. Fly at Tickles’ Gay Pride 2009 Pig Roast
