Random Information Alert! There are three variants of airline wifi: Gogo, Panasonic Ku and SW's Via-Sat Ka satellite technology. Of the three, Southwest was the airline to implement it right... Their entertainment system streams fast and is a solid product. American has Gogo on most of their equipment and is moving to Panasonic's v3 tech, inch-by-inch. It's speedier than what they had, but it's still unreliable. That being said, it's nice having the ability to work a little on the way to Asia, Europe, Hawaii or South America. I'm just happy that the FAA has kept their word in banning phone conversations in-flight. That would be insane.

Comps are dependent on a lot of factors: Your host, the casino, the kind of future play they're attracting and what they might expect from you when (or, if) you come back. At a property like Wynncore, $25/hand for 6+ hours might get you noticed, but not more than a line pass and buffet. Now, at Rio, Mandalay Bay, Planet Ho and Flamingo, that kind of play at a BJ or Pai Gow will likely net you a future free stay.

We're acting as if there are these firm rules in place on any of this. Haven't we learned by now that everything is gray area? As with any communication, just ask the guy what he's into, tell him what you're into and see if you can't rub two sticks together to make fire. If his version of things are different than yours, no harm-no foul. At least you know beforehand.

Why do we still categorize people as 'straight' or 'gay' based on a piercing?

Let's see if we can't push this into page six and a lockdown...

I agree, but also consider that some escorts business can thrive or die based on how they come across here. It would be swell if everybody could be totally 100% honest, but that's just not the reality of how this works.

I remember when this happened. Reba needs more vehicles on Broadway. She was great in AGYG.

No such thing. You might be able to find a gay-owned salon somewhere on Cedar Springs Rd. I recommend hitting the K-Spas: https://tx.spacastleusa.com/ http://www.kingspa.com/dallas/

Don't overthink or plan it. Just communicate openly with him and go with the flow. I just spent 10 days in Hawaii with a regular. It went by in a flash. And we made zero plans beforehand.

Can you do a quad?

Sure, it's okay to ask. Better question: Do you believe everything people tell you? I know plenty of people who say they're on PrEP, but they're not. I know people who say they're HIV- and don't say anything to their sex partners about actually being HIV+ People are people: Imperfect. Protect yourself the best you can.

Drag queen lexicon making it's way into mainstream society depresses me

I hope it was the Miss Cleo room

If you keep in mind that Vegas is no longer a deal, you'll be fine. One way or another, they'll get you to part with your money.

Look into Earls Court area. Some great small hotels, most including breakfast. Almost all are near the EC Tube. Download the OpenTable app. It's become popular with the Brits. Tons of options.

It's not us you should be discussing this with. It's him. Have an open discussion as to it happening and that you don't think you should pay a full rate. Bringing it up here, as it's been brought up dozens of times before, will only garner a ton of random opinions and no real consensus.

All that glitters is not gold is often times salient advice

Times change. We move forward.

Yes. With clients. Personally, no. I don't like how most of them are designed or decorated.

I was obsessed with most of the Von Erich family of wrestlers. Kerry was by far one of the most beautiful guys in the business.

Agreed. The same goes for what they did to The Savoy... All that money and it still looks so dumpy.

Various Aman properties. Any Rosewood property. Mandarin Oriental flagship in Hong Kong. St Regis Maldives at Vommuli. The Carlyle, NYC. Copacabana Palace, Rio Raffles, Singapore and Dubai. A ton more, but these are definitely my favorites of the bunch.

You do realize that McGrath had nearly no rehearsal time and is in the middle of doing two shows simultaneously. He called for two lines. That's not too shabby.
