Ah, technology. I am currently sitting on the Ogunquit beach blogging on my new BlackBerry. Life is good. Jack and I are on a mini-vaca in O-Town for a few days. We started off the trip with a night at the local gay piano bar. Interesting does not even begin to describe it.
My cousin called me after dinner and told us to meet her there. I assumed it was just a bar…..not so much. I thought I was in a bad Wicked/Mamma Mia/Sound of Music/Elton John nightmare. This was gay heaven. A piano, a stage, non-stop show tunes and dozens of dudes singing them. Sorry, dudes and my cousin. Let’s just say people were staring. She knew every word to every song, no exaggeration. Show tunes the gays didn’t even know and they know them all!
After an hour or 2 of trying not to go to the bathroom, I had to go to the bathroom. Sucking down drinks was really the only option to avoid the eye-humping. I asked our waiter where the bathrooms were. He said ‘around the corner, first door on your left.’ I made my way through Oz and got to the first door on the left. The sign above the door read PRIVATES. Ummm, I can hold it a little longer!
The place was actually pretty funny and would be a hilarious place to bring a group of people, especially if they are unaware of the Ogunquit atmosphere. Maybe we’ll stop by tonight for The Judy Show. Judy is not a woman.
I think gay people get enough grief. Please don’t bring a group of people there just to laugh at gay people — they do have feelings and they know what you’re doing.
There must be some straight places in O-Town where you would be able to have some laughs and not worry about going to the bathroom.
We had an absolute blast at the front porch! There was no disrespect going on there at all! We were there for 4 hours. If we were “laughing” at gay people, I’m pretty sure we would have been asked to leave. I chose a song for a gay couple who was there celebrating 33 years of partnership. He had tears in eyes and thanked me for picking a beautiful song for them to dance to. He had tears in his eyes and thanked us for being so great and for having fun. So, I think u have read this blog wrong. We did NOT give “gay people” any grief. We had a great time, and beliueve it or not, we would go back! Mike wasn’t being disrespectful at all…
