Oy Vey - I Always Thought The Cookie Monster Is A Member Of The Tribe

I would have liked hebrew school a lot better if we had a Jewish themed Sesame Street called Shalom Sesame. As the worst jew in the world, I can honestly say that sounds AWESOME! In fact, I am sitting around eating a bacon cheesburger with lobster on top as we speak (ok, I am not, but sounds delicious huh?). I would watch it for sure, and I have always had a thing for Big Bird because I like nice guys, but I know all the girls love Oscar. I have no idea how this came about (not the crush, silly), but my guess is that there are still loads of members of the tribe in the entertainment business, and when they are enjoying a spliff they thought of this gem. Viva PBS!

Club Jager: Menergy Party and Men of Minneapolis: Invitation To Come And Play

Last night I want to Club Jager for their party "Menergy" that happens every third Sat of the Month.

Crowd: A very friendly crowd, people were smiling and willing to engage, which was really fun. It was one of the few places where conversation erupted naturally with total strangers. People trended towards hipster over trendy and there was a distinct arty feeling of the crowd. The crowd was highly mixed (mostly straight), but I love having just a touch of that gay energy around me that I miss from NYC fashion days.

Theme: The theme is slightly homoerotic - Menergy, but don't be shy or fooled - all are welcome!!!

Music: Two very good DJ's did a nice eclectic mix of strong dance hits that were well mixed. Old school electronic, disco, funk - no modern grooves that you would hear on 100.3. Toes were tapping until every got drunk enough to dance.

Local: Small, intimate, and most importantly - there was no TV! This is literally the first bar I have been in Minneapolis which did not have a TV. I hate this part of living here, and it was a nice reprieve.

Rating: 4 out of 5 (5 being my favorite bar in NYC - Max Fish - where I get into total mischief and the crowd is always fun, 4.5 being my favorite bar in Minneapolis - Bulldog NE)

An open note to the men of Minneapolis: Did you know that the men in Minneapolis are the most shy and the women the most lonely of any city in the US? Let's do something to change that. We (all the ladies) see you looking (for long periods of time), we see you making eye contact, we see you wanting to approach. So, when we smile at you (and maybe even say hi on our way to the bathroom), please see this as an open invitation to come and chat. We want you to approach and not vice versa, because it makes us feel really good and beautiful. Come and play - it will be worth the effort more times than not - I promise!
