Staying at the Hard Rock Hotel, we just had to check out the incredible vibe and energy coming from the club in the lobby.
Unfortunately, it was 1 a.m. and they weren’t letting anyone else in.
As we stood there, forlorn and forsaken outside the velvet rope, Prince Charmin ’ rode to the rescue.
He came up to me and stood in real close, looked me in the eyes and said, “I am so taking you upstairs with me tonight.”

Today is as grey and dull as can be, spitting rain and very cool – quite a come-down from the sunny, warm southwest U.S.
Also had to deal with the tedium of getting out of the house as a girl again. There is a subtle emotional price you pay for having to subjugate your authenticity to reality.
Ho, hum…
Anyways, just had a quick look around and made a dash for the car.

Sometimes, feelings hit you by surprise.
Case in point, I am here in Las Vegas, having spent the past four days as a guy with GF at a Rockabilly convention. What a fabulous event it was, demonstrating that the 60-year old spirit of 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues and country hillbilly music is alive and well and that the next generation will keep the faith in impressive numbers and with ample exuberance.
Everyone was dolled up impressively in vintage fashions, with a certain modern edge for the younger set, the old and beautiful cars were on display, and The Killer himself – Jerry Lee Lewis – rocked the stage in impressive form.
In this environment, GF has (correctly) ordained that it is appropriate that we go as boy and girl – and I play the part of boy, cuz she’s no good at it. Her soft voice, ample bust and very curvy hips make it pretty much impossible for her, but that’s a subject for another time.
