Wanted to send out a big thank-you to everyone who sent me birthday
wishes via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail over the weekend. Had a fun day,
first a romantic lunch on the Highline with Michael (sandwiches from Bottino
are the best in town!), followed by coffee with my pal Tony, then
dinner at Veselka with Mikey. Afterward, we met up with for a little
bar-hopping with our friends Frank and Craig. We started at Motor City
-- they're Detroit guys too -- which is closing soon (rent hike was too
rich for a even a bar not inspired by a dying city) followed by a drink
at Eastern Bloc (no Anderson Cooper sightings, although his birthday is
just five days before mine -- same year!) then a nightcap at Phoenix.
Although I don't go out much these days, it was reassuring to see so
many guys of all ages were out on the town enjoying themselves. I had
been led to believe that vritually all gay connections these days were
made via computers and apps, but this is clearly not the case. After
seeing how long the line was at Artichoke Basille's Pizza on 14th
Street, I insisted we slum it and go for a bite at the newish IHOP
across the street. Sure, my surburban roots were showing. And no, they
didn't even have the International Passport Breakfast -- my "ususal."
But my 2 x 2 x 2 was absolutely delicious. And I didn't exactly notice
anything left on anyone else's plate, so I think I made the right call.
Thanks everyone for making it a great birthday weekend!
