An immodest (birthday) proposal

[bironic]

DC friends & acquaintances! My birthday is coming up the weekend after next, and I would like to go to Secrets, a gay bar where the (male) performers strip down to nothing but shoes and socks. I have never ETA: only once gone to a place like this and, hell, I barely drink, but I think it would be fun. It comes highly recommended by my cousin, and the videos he snuck on his cell phone were certainly enticing.

I figure the night of Friday 7/23 or Saturday 7/24 would be best. Looks like there's a discount on cover Fridays before 10:30. Perhaps we could do dinner before the place opens at 9.

Anyone up for it?

Count me in!

Awesome. Random trips (on my part) to Whole Foods are good for spurring meant-to-posts into posts! And seriously, we should talk about how best to pose to the group, since I think only tree and cinco come by here and I won't be at Farscape Friday to ask.

Dee can come Friday, so I'd like to do it then. Want to talk about coordinating with (or replacing) skiffy this week?

but also

Mr. L is leaving Fri 7/23 for a weekend away. Which means I have no babysitter for this fun adventure.

Noooooo!

I would totally go if I were there. perhaps next time I am there we will go anyway? : D

We can pair it with some similarly classy women's venue, if you like! I would be up for both. Is the thing I was going to tell you about the other week when my phone was new and you asked and I couldn't figure out how to reply.

oh, that would definitely be fun : D

[bironic.livejournal.com]

I will do, as my boss would say, my due diligence in discovering where might be best.

I will be in NY seeing STARK BUNKER SANDS be hot on stage. :)

But I wish you a happy one!

I am sad that you will be gone and that we were not destined to meet in a gay strip club, but am just as glad you will be having an excellent time!

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

I wish Stark would be stripping at the club and then we could combine our funs!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Mm. We could toss ASkars in the mix while we're dreaming.....

...

...Sorry, what? Oh, right, and I'll be in NY the weekend after you, so we are just star-crossed this month.

I'm interested! Sorry I didn't manage to say so before I left for a week!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

I figured, based on the comment thread before you left, that you were in. :) Looks like Friday -- will figure out how to figure out details with everyone ASAP...

I am actually interested, if worried that I might spend the entire evening blushing into my drink. I've already got plans Friday but they're for 6:30 and unlikely to take more than a couple of hours, so I should be able to make both.

Where is Secrets located, for those of us who probably shouldn't click that link at work?

*adds bironic on LJ, finally*

Excellent!

S'okay, we can blush together. :) It's down by Navy Yard - deelaundry and I are working out transportation options.

[alpheratz.livejournal.com]

Awesome. My email is maralenenok at gmail, since I see you want to coordinate the rest off lj.

Trying to find out... i'd like to do dinner first, so either meeting up with Skiffy attendees at Secrets at 9ish, or E might decide to cancel... Email follow-up is probably indeed easiest from here - stay tuned.

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

Eek, sorry, I didn't realize there was discussion going on-- I don't think I've gotten LJ comments emailed for something like a year now, and I forgot to check back. Yes, I think just replacing skiffy is a fine idea.

1. Happy birthday!

2. I can't join you, but I hope you have a great time. :-)

Sorry to hear it, but thanks!
