it gets better

Last night members of the cast of it gets better  were at Legacy.  Our invited guests were staff and members of Legacy's mSociety.

I was very impressed with the discussion.  It was an educating experience from both sides of the table. 

The cast is here in Houston this week.  They're bringing the message of it gets better; a message first brought to the forefront by Dan Savage in response to teen suicides due to bullying.

It was great to hear their personal stories.  It was fun to have lunch with them today at Sparrow. 

So... on Wednesday night their will be piano cabaret karaoke at Guava Lamp starting at 9:30p.m.  This is your turn to "sing out Louise!"

Join us on Friday night at Jones Hall for the performance.  Tickets can be purchased at Society for the Performing Arts website.

Busy day. The Oscars. Birthday Party. Bunnies Bar Bash. Here I am with my posse. And that's how we roll in H-town.

Support my efforts to raise money for AIDS Walk Houston 2010!

OK. What an odd day just in general.

Last night was a fun night hanging out with Kevin and Keith at Guava Lamp. Who knew the place would be hoppin' on a Wednesday night? To sum up the evening, let's just say it involved Long Island Iced Teas followed by tacos from Jack-In-The-Box and getting to bed in the wee hours of the morning.

So I'm already running a little slow just because I didn't get much sleep. Plus, it has been hotter than hell here in The Bayou City. These temperatures are August temperatures and it is only June!

And then this morning it was announced that Farrah Fawcett died after a long battle with cancer.

This was on the heels of Ed McMahon's death on Tuesday.

So this afternoon while I was still a bit spent from the previous night's activities I hear something about Michael Jackson going into cardiac arrest and then the next thing you know, he is dead at the age of 50!

I did read something from one of friends who posted a comment on Facebook. He said, "...just when you think the day couldn't get any worse, sources confirm that Dick Cheney is still alive."

And don't you know Governor Mark Sanford is doing cartwheels? I'm sure he was practicing Don't Cry For Me Argentina but all of sudden he isn't the lead story on the news this evening.

And speaking of Mark Sanford, I guess he won't be the poster child for defending the santicty of marriage between a man and a woman. And one more thing about him, he looks much older than 49. Just sayin'.
