I know this is a little bit petty but I have to say something.

I just got back from playing on fire Island.
The queens were all a-twitter about "The Pride Lounge".
Some had been there but all had either heard or read about it!

quote:

HX MAGAZINE: Friday we hit Mr. Black for Gary 49, which was so packed by midnight we could barely move. Ruling a corner booth, Daily News gossip columnist Ben Widdicombe hosted a party sponsored by Svedka—which meant free pins and free shots galore! But we were living for Johnny Dynell spinning exclusively in the bathroom! Yep, Johhny had transformed one of the stalls into a DJ booth, spinning jazzed up Sound of Music mixes to give the boys a lil’ something extra while pissing and primping!

They were all saying how genius it was etc. and were giving ME credit for the whole thing!

Now I'd be lying if I didn't think that I have had a great idea or two in my career
("Foreskin Fiesta: Song Of The Gay Mariachi" for example)
but "The Pride Lounge" was ALL Sammy Jo.
He came to me with that idea months and months ago.
He is the sick-o that put me in that stinky stall!
I can't take credit for that one.

The only reason that I'm getting persnickity about this is because Chi Chi, Hattie and I have been down this road.
This is a new generation coming up with this sick shit.
Sammy Jo and Stuart and a lot of the others are creating their own "back in the day" as Sammy puts it.
I'm having fun being a part of it but this is not AREA or PYRAMID or BOY BAR or SQUEEZE BOX or JACKIE 60, this is GARY 49 and MR. BLACK...
Stuart & Sammy Jo's creation.
I'm just glad (and amazed) that it exists.



BTW
Some of you complaining lurkers have read these posts and are totally confused.
Here is a little wikipedia for you.

I'm "Daddy" on the boards.
My real name (well, my real fake name) is Johnny Dynell.
I am an ancient DJ.
"Sammy Jo" is my DJ daughter named after the Heather Locklear character from "Dynasty". (Sammy Jo is a man)
"DJ Pickles" or "Pickles" is an affectionate name that Sammy Jo's ex-wife Justin Bond (aka "Kiki" as in "Kiki & Herb") gave him when they were married. (Justin Bond's gender is anyone's guess). He is refered to as "Pickles" by his close friends.
"Nancy Isla" is Sammy Jo's (aka Pickles') name on the Motherboards.
The REAL Nancy Isla was a drunken lesbian that fell down the stairs one night at MOTHER. She was totally fine but was persuaded by her friends to "sue our ass". She got some cheap lawyer who couldn't even figure out the name of the club so she never got a penny out of us. (I think the landlord gave her and the lawyer some money because he couldn't even bother to go to court).
So when it came time for Sammy to register...

OK so let me get this straight.
Sammy Jo is your daughter but is really a man named Pickles 'cause that's what his ex-wife Justin who goes by the name of Kiki calls him but on these boards he's Nancy, a drunken lesbian.

Thanks for clearing that up Big Guy.

Now who am I?

You are the person seen on the floor of Mr. Gary at 49 Black. I mean seen laying on the floor naked there. And that's hard to do there on Friday cause of the all the mostly naked boys.

And now we are almost full circle.

Francine 59 should be the next explanation of history for the uneducated.

Oh god bobby, you are conjuring aren't you!

Wait remember the whole Francine 48 scandale when the m-boards just started? What a hoot that was.

But wait, back to my brilliance....

Daddy I'm glad you posted the HX blurb cause I totally would have missed it. I didn't think they liked to write about us on Fridays. Good to know. Did you speak to mommy about our other Pride Lounge idea? (snicker snicker) It would be AMAZING!

Francine 59 you say...
Hmmm
You might be getting close but you didn't hear it from me.

OK Pickles, the Empresss is down for your next bit of madness.
(for an hour anyway)

You are a SICK SICK SICK Puppy!
I'm so proud.

As of late 2003, the protracted "Isla Case" was still going strong and I have no doubt she is now attempting to collect damages from "Scoop," the current tenant of the space.
One of her own lawyer's detectives confided to me that "no one could possibly fall down those stairs unless they were blotto-drunk."

BTW, Nancy, Debbie Farmer retired shortly after September 11th and went to work for a "private security firm."

Now I'd be lying if I didn't think that I have had a great idea or two in my career

"The Boys Of Pere Lachaise-- They're Young, They're Hung, They're...Dead"?

OMG!
I forgot about that one Hatches.
But I think it was...
"The Boys Of Pere Lachaise: They're Hot, They're Hung, They're French and They're Dead"

But then I couldn't leave bad enough alone.
Remember we started "DEATH: THE PARTY".
It was supposed to be a Gay Goth night.
I could not imagine why the gays didn't come.
It was the height of The Chelsea Queen and they were all dancing with their shirts off and getting buff and tan.
What the hell was I thinking?
"DEATH: THE PARTY"?!!!!!
But there you were Hatches, right by my side through thick and thin.
I think you were the only one who came.
Actually, I think Sammy Jo was there too but he was on the payroll.

You win some you lose some.

But wait, Debbie Farmer?...
Am I getting Debbie Farmer and Nancy Isla all mixed up?
Larry Purdy I remember but who was Nancy Isla?
Help me Sammy, you know how muddled I get.

I thought Debbie Farmer was the female detective we hired to do security but was so stoned all the time we had to always wake her up.

Deb Farmer might have been that came and took a statement from Patches sometime after the alleged incident occurred. I'm not that clear either. Now there's another name tangled in this whole case too but I can't remember it. I think it was something Mc-something. Real irish-y. Hattie? Recall?

The Empress thinks Debbie Farmer may have been Nancy's girlfriend.
She also added that she thinks the case was dropped when they got photos of Nancy Isla tooling around on a dirt bike or something when she was supposedly unable to work because of her "injuries".

Ok I remembered the other name....Lori McLaughlin or McLachlin. I think she was the cop who took a statement from Patches and maybe Deb Farmer was a friend or someone who sent a letter regarding the whole Nancy Isla scam. It's all a bit foggy.

Mark Tusk has some gorgeous GARY 49 photos up.
Mark's GARY 49

He really captures the insanity.

And the fashion.

Here is Jake Shears trying to get over...
Over my head.

It's really the only way to get around at GARY.
Step on people's heads.

Thunder from Down Under...

Stuart flew in Austalian Superstar DJ Sveta to surprise the boyz.
We all saw (and heard) why she is so legendary.
And not just because of her gorgeous girlfriend either (but that helps).

so... exactly what happened in the PRIDE lounge?

you are evil
