Update: Guerrilla Queer Bar v.1

Location will be The Spigot Cafe @ 468 Prospect Ave, Hartford. It's tomorrow night, Thursday the 22nd, starting around 9pm.

They have 18 beers on tap and 150ish bottles, a great jukebox and some dart boards. (Lesbians love darts). Come cause a commotion at this hipster/townie bar. Or just play darts and drink beer. Whatever floats your boat.

Phallic Artistry: Blue Back Update!

The West Hartford Art League is working hard to save Blue Back Square's public art horses. You remember - these horses? The ones that look like frollicking Cocks N' Ballses?

An article in the Hartford Courant shed some dim light on the situation. Apparently $20,000 in donations to the art league paid for the sculptures, created by Peter Busby, who is clearly a peenhound, but somehow they are now owned by another artist, Karen Peterson, who wants to keep all that horse/cock to herself now, or actually, wants to sell them for $42,000 apiece, which would bafflingly be tax deductible. It must be penis appreciation month! That's value.

Anyway, keeping hideous pubic (sic, haha) art is obviously a pretty big priority "in times like these," so good luck WHAL.

Alert: Elite drinking night change-up!

Tuesday, Dec. 8: Liquid Lounge v1.2 @ CT Science Center


Your bourgeois Thursday plans have been cancelled. Circle Tuesday instead. I know, I know, you already have gay night at Tisane written in, but we all know that was in pencil, so just erase it. Who's fault is all of this plan-changery? Joe Biden, of course. He's coming to the still-kinda-new CT Science Center on Friday to see what all the fuss is about. (He's really coming to CT to support Chris Dodd, but we won't get into all of that nonsense.) Apparently Secret Service needs to "secure the building" 24-hours in advance, which explains the cancellation of the originally scheduled Liquid Lounge v1.2. The event will now be held Tuesday from 6-10, and contrary to our mediocre review of LL v1.0, it might actually be fun. CSC is promising go-go dancers and... well, we stopped reading after "go-go dancers". We also heard the drink prices went down. Consider us sold.

Update: R.I.P. Phallic Dino

Oh noes! The phallic children's climbosaur has been retired at last. We'd like to think our mocking had something to do with it, but who are we kidding? We have no readers, and anyway, it was his time. He was split completely through, which didn't look very safe. Our drives down South Road will never be the same. 'Tis the end of an era.
