Happy Holidays and other statements to piss Bill O'Riley off...

yes kids, it's offically Christmas and Mr. Bartender is a tad bit intoxicated...surprise, surprise :)

Despite the annoying girl at the start of the night who felt it should be busier because "gay people don't have families to go to" (*sigh*) the bar crowd was slow tonight, but full of good peeps that managed to keep a smile on my face all night long.

Mrs. Jesus came in briefly to help get the night started off, but headed out early to prep for our Christmas celebrations the following day. Meanwhile, as he departed the sexiest and hippest of the gay blog crowd made their way in to say hello, under what I assume to be the recommendation of Mr. Show himself. With Chemistry Lad by his side they fought hard to claim the title of hottest couple of the night, and ended up tying with these boys . All four of these guys manage to send Mr. Bartender's heart all aflutter every time he sees them...

Also in attendance was the charming carl , headwound gymnest, Clickboo with his native Iowan turned New Yorker friend, and John from Beaverhausen with his man Jaime. John and Jaime unfortunately had family to entertain the next day so didn't get to stay out quiet as late as the rest - but it was great seeing them nonetheless....

Anyway, wanted to thank everyone who stopped in tonight for helping make the night so wonderful. I'm glad we could ring in Christmas together :)

On a side note, for Christmas this year I've thrown together a little mix CD to give to all my peeps along with their Christmas presents....it's a collection of all the mellow (aka - depressing) songs that's I'm kinda digging for one reason or another at the moment... the cover-song happy tracklisting is as follows:
