Drag This and Other Misc. Activities

As you may or may not know, I recently went out to a bar called "Axis".  This bar is catered to the gay male population. It was a lot of fun!  The reason we (Tammy and myself) went to this establishment was because we recently discovered some new cousins.  One of those cousin's is Steven AKA: Fressia Balls.  I really wish Michelle could have gone with us because I think she is one who would have really appreciated his stage name.  Michelle cracks up at anything related to the word "balls"!  She just can't help herself.

Freesia Balls is a Drag Queen, not just any ole Drag Queen but our cousin.  Now you can imagine how excited I was to find out that someone else in my family was a queen of any kind.  Everyone in my house knows I am the queen of everything here! 

Here was my evening, I call it "Tour De Columbus". First our group met at a resteraunt in German Village where we had a lovely late dinner.  When we were finished eating we left there and headed on over to Axis.  Jennifer and her friend Krista came with me so that we could save on parking. We get there not knowing who the hello kitty we are looking for but can't wait to see the show.  If you have never been to a Drag show, OMG, you must do it at some point! Not only was it hysterical, it was very entertaining!  I couldn't help but crack up at their recorded entertainment inbetween sets.  There was one that was a video about M.E.T.H. parties.  Hysterical!  Monsters For The Ethical Treatment of Humans.  They went on and on about going to METH parties in the video.  Their costumes were fabulous and as much as I hate to admit it, I was super jealous that these dudes dressed like ladies could not only walk but dance in high heels! 

The show was great! When it was almost over I found one of the prop guys and asked him if he could point Steven out to me.  He told me her stage name and showed me which one she was.  I went to locate Tammy and tell her what I had found out. She wasn't where I left her, nope, she was down front, center stage!  Jessica was on the side wall, laughing and shaking her head.  So I waited for the show to be over and made my way over to say hello to Freesia Balls. 

Soon after, we left and I took Laura back to her car - 4 million blocks away from Axis. I then drove Jennifer, Krista and Natalie back to German Village to pick up Jennifer's car so they could head home.  I was going to go on home myself but Tammy really wanted me to meet her and Jessica at Brothers.  I caved and went on over.  I had to pay to park AGAIN and then walk AGAIN to the bar, where Tammy and I were definitely considered ancient. 

As I approached Brothers, I noticed the police flashing their flashlights into the fence line around the patio.  I then happened to notice my niece, Jessica, picking up my sister's glasses.  What the????  Seriously, I am a little freaked out wondering why her glasses were on the ground so I got in the line to be carded to get in. When I got up to the doorman, I asked him if he seriously needed to see my I.D., he laughed and let me in.  Really?  You can't even try to pretend to think I am young and hip?  WOW!  I am now in the bar, I go quickly to the patio and find Jessica and Tammy.  As I get closer to them I notice Jessica's high school boyfriend sitting there and go to give him a hug.  He starts telling me, "I nearly killed your sister!" WHAT?
