Nothing personal, but I don't swing that way

Well, I always wondered about that place on Market Street, Q. After a party, and a beer at College Hill, I was driving home about 11 when I saw an open parking space at Q.

I'm not sure if it was the Will & Grace playing on TV, the mints in the bathrooms, or the old dude who said he'd like to perform something on me that keyed me off. But I stayed for two beers and then took off. And bathed myself in turpentine.

Before someone thinks that I'm gay-bashing (Some of my best friends are gay, and my stepsister is bisexual, really!), it was the creepiness of the guy, not the gayness of the bar, that made me want to scrub down.

And now, finally, ladies, I know how you feel when that scary, hairy guy at the bar comes up and asks if you'd want some company for the evening. Or when I hit on you.

I'm just sayin'.

By the way, as interiors go, Q is clean, neat and has a great setup. And the folks were really nice.

Yeah... I could've told you that. Warehouse 29 is the same also. However, you can work on your technique and get a free beer out of some of the guys if you bat your eye lashes lol. Work it, homie!

So if it's clean and nice and has a good setup and the people are swell, I'm confused as to what differentiation, exactly, you're making between the gayness and the creepiness here. Because the place itself (and I admit I've never been) sounds pretty damn normal, gay bar or no.

Wait-

It is a pretty normal bar, and I'd go again. The dude I ran into was a touch creepy.

And yes, creepy people could be anywhere.

In the world of hangouts and watering holes, there are all types, which we've also talked about before: http://blog.news-record.com/staff/unbuttoned/2007/11/saturday_isnt_every_day.shtml

OK, I got you, WF. I agree wholeheartedly that creeps come in all shapes, sizes and sexual persuasions.
