MAJOR SCROLL ALERT--TOTALLY SELFISH FANTASIZING AHEAD--JUST A GAME FOR A DIVERSION!!! SCROLL AWAY!!!
Plus anyone is free to introduce a new topic
Okay, no particular problem with hair-wank, lol, but happy to take up the challenge, because listening to all my austinites talk about the fun night hearing UhHuhHer last night brought out the green-eyed monster in me, and I invented a little game to beat her back down again, and anyone can play! Here's how it goes:
Imagine Adam visits you in your hometown for one day: what do you guys do? And keep it
clean realistic people! You know, because this could actually happen :
. I'll go first:
Adam comes to Austin and rings my front door bell in the morning.
I invite him in for coffee/tea/juice on my screened in back porch:
and then we wander down through the leaf streets for breakfast tacos at Torchy's trailer park:
mmmm maybe a little chips and queso, too (whatcha talkin bout Adam, ya don't each cheese, this is AUSTIN not LA, dude):
Adam loves it so much he buys a t-shirt:
Then we jump on the back of my scooter:
I’m in front and Adam’s tucked right behind me, in case you were wondering, so that, you know, he has someplace to, um, wrap his long legs.
We head out to the best place in Austin: Barton Springs Pool:
for some lazy hours sunning and swimming and sunning some more, and listening to the bongos and taking in the smell of, um, Austin’s favorite, um “insense.”
When we’ve cooled off enough and worked up a suitable appetite, we head back on the scooter for some much-needed BBQ. Here the options are endless. I toy with the idea of taking Adam to Lamberts, downtown, just cause the name fits so well and maybe “fancy bbq” which is what they say they sell, suits Adam’s haute cuisine image. But this is a dressed down day in dressed down Austin, so we scoot on by. Then I consider Franklin’s, voted the best que in the country by Bon Apetite Mag, but the line is endless so we head on over to my old favorite, Ruby’s, where there are signed photos of all the blues legends on the walls due to the shack’s erstwhile proximity to Antone’s legendary blues club. The food is delish:
and Adam buys another t-shirt:
By now, it’s high time for some shopping! So back to my neighborhood it is, for some top-notch SoCo browsing. Maybe we pop into Allen’s boots—you know Adam wants to get him some of these!:
Dusk is falling, so Adam and I scoot on down to the Congress Avenue bridge to see the worlds largest urban bat colony (1.5million strong) emerge for dinner. Then we’re thinking maybe it’s about time for some dinner ourselves. So we go home to dress up for the night-life, and then head on over for some innovative sushi at the award-winning Uchi:
(oh my god so freakin' good)
Mmm… After dinner (and possibly a little sake) it’s off to Antone’s (now downtown) for some real good blues. Maybe we hear a little of this guy—I hear Adam’s maybe in the market for a new guitar player, and this guy is SEXY!:
(The fantastic Gary Clark Jr. Check out the beautiful slow build of the long solo starting around 2:25.)
Still have some energy, Adam? Well, for a lark we can round the night out with some two-stepping at Rusty’s! Adam’s all about diversity within the gay community: wonder if he’s ever been to a country-western gay bar before?!
Off we scoot again down to S. Congress, where I drop Adam off at his beautiful hip rockstar-boutique hotel:
before scooting the final few blocks back home. Good Day!
Who's playing Play With Adam next? ??? ;D
I had a major crush on Tim Curry (as Franknfuter) when I was a teenager. MAJOR. It was love at first sight. Loved the makeup and the outrageous sexiness/craziness. Don't know how I ever wound up as an Adam fan :
