Well it has certainly been an exciting couple of weeks – here's the abridged version of our travels and all the fun we've had!
Thursday, July 9th – We headed to Talbott Street in Indianapolis with Monica St. James. She won Miss Illinois USofA @ Large and we got to meet Victoria Parker and spend some quality time with Coco Van Catier. It was a great night and Shawn Batton really knows how to keep that place running!
Friday, July 10th we were up at Old Street in Monroe, OH for the Quasi and Friends Show. Holly Below joined Me, Monica and Quasi for one of the best shows of the month. We always have fun up there and this month was no exception. Join us the second Friday of every month!
Saturday, July 11th I was at Adonis helping Monica celebrate her birthday and BOY OH BOY did she celebrate! We had a fantastic crowd and an amazing show! It was nice to be back at Adonis for the show – I'll be there once a month (August 15th is my next time there).
Then on Sunday, July 12th we were down on Main Street for the Annual Drag Races that coincide with Second Sundays on Main. It was awesome this year (and there are a TON of photos on facebok to attest to this fact!! A TON). It's pretty awesome every year, but this year was just wonderful – we had such a great time! Big thanks to Nigel and JC at Below Zero for putting it all together.
This last weekend started on Wednesday for a new gig at Yadda Club. Angel and Dann Schlacter have put a show together and asked me to help emcee the whole thing. We had a fun time this last week and are gonna keep it up! Show at 11-ish (wink)
On Friday we started our tour of Ohio! PJ at the Interbelt asked me to come up there this past Friday so, we headed out of Cincinnati around 4 and had a really easy drive up to Akron. The club was so welcoming and nice! Ashley was a great hostess and everyone is Akron was REALLY fun! PJ asked me to come back up there – so I have to get with him on my dates in October – keep your eyes pealed for more Penny Tration in Akron! LOL
We left the hotel around Noon and headed to Columbus. Beverly Ford met us for lunch and pretty much entertained us all day. We shopped and walked around the Short North making fun of everyone we know. It was great – but then it was time to get down to business. Miss Ohio America was going on at Axis – so after getting all gussied up and walking down High Street – we headed over to the pageant. EVERYONE was there. I was so surprised to see it that busy on a prelim night. Tiffany and Aaron have done a lovely job with the pageant and the National Owners, Larry and Terry, were there as well (we had a very nice chat with them about pageants and gays inbetween talent numbers)(wink).
Then it was off to Union for the show with Nina West, Virgnina West, Me and the Illustrious talents of Miss Kitty Litter! It was so much fun (watch the video of me and Nina being complete monkeys!) We were there until about 12:30 before heading back over to Axis for their Cabaret Room show. Rob asked me to do a quick number and before long it was time to go home.
We really had a fantastic visit and it was a little sad to go home…but a took a bunch of Nina's Fabric with me so I'm sure she'll come hunting me down for it! LOL

The Find Fred Story
In 2008 while the GLBT community & FINDFRED founders were fighting the Prop 8 battle and turning key states like Ohio blue to protect our rights, the country's largest m4m website (Manhunt) co-founder was contributing to McCain's campaign and the Republican Party. A party that for the past 8 years has worked to write discrimination into our laws, often successfully. Thus, FINDFRED.COM was born. We want the GLBT community to sleep safe knowing that a company they support is fighting FOR GLBT equal rights. FindFred will commit a minimum of 10% of profits towards grants and investments for GLBT charities, equal rights and community causes.
