Just going to roll this little grenade.  
 
Some of the holier than thou - lack of empathy - the law is the law types - if you are on the other side of the transaction, you can just as easily fall into this detention trap as well.  Just because we have reached a certain age with some greying hair won’t matter a bit if some drunk on power border official in the US decides it’s time to ruin / embarrass a gay man’s life. Some AI system has finally linked your signal/telegram chat to your cell phone or home wifi IP address, flagging your identity as engaged with SW’rs too.  
 
At this point in my life, I know I stand with SW’ers because I’m part of their community. A good number of my fellow men of a certain age have come into this life late in life, and don’t have the experiences of being called a f@ggot while leaving a gay bar in their teens or 20s. Once you realize you’re part of the same marginalized community, you’ll be better prepared to deal with indignities that will be coming our way should these abuses of power continue.  
 
Your age, net worth, social status, what you think are your rights in the comfort of your own home won’t matter when you face a windowless room and no access to your smart phone or legal counsel.  Add to this if you are detained on unrelated business travel or with family, you just want to continue on with your trip, convincing yourself you can explain away there was a case of mistaken identity etc.  
 
Y’all better start extending some grace and flexing our collective privilege to refocus efforts on actual non-consensual / violent crime rather than some pissant fishing expeditions for some power tripping officers punching downwards.  Today, it’s some twink, fem boy, circuit queen.  Tomorrow it can just as easily be embarrassing / inconveniencing the <insert your insecurity about your age / hiring status / weight etc here> because some border agent/ police officer felt like it. 

All depends on how you know it’s their bday and your arrangement with them.  
 
If they told you their bday such as if you booked airfare for them, I think a happy bday text would be appreciated. But again, your mileage may vary.  Small gift also goes a long way.  
 
I lucked into taking a masseur out to dinner after a session and it was his bday weekend.  That was a nice bit of coincidence and happy to have done so.  He’s good company.

It’s been said before in the forums.  It bares repeating.  
Hire escorts. 
Get a massage from a masseur. 
Tip your Go-Go dancers. 
 
it’s tricky to pick up a go-go all my success has been after multiple nights of interaction. Exception being if I know they have an ad on RentMen.  Picking up a go-go after a shift is sometimes a long shot as well.  They are getting off of a shift at work, and may need to prepare before your time.  
 
All that being said, show interest with tips and conversation.  If it appears to going well after 15-30 min, you can always directly ask if they’d be interested in meeting up at your hotel.  Be prepared to get a brush off (at best), continued teasing expectation of tips/lap dances can drain your balance fast and there’s no guarantee they’ll perform as expected.  
 
Escorts / Masseurs / Gogo’s  all have different job profiles.  It’s rare to find someone versed in even 2 of those 3.  If you want to pick up an escort but want some face time, ask for FaceTime or offer to meet up for drinks before hand.  

Shoe is having another Show Boys show and it’s a good crowd.  
 
I probably need to get better with promoting some of their shows ahead of time.

The Shoe will have their ShowBoys revue tomorrow Wednesday night at 8pm.  They do a burlesque style show.  It’s a fun time in an entertaining fashion. This month’s theme is Villains.

I’m not crazy about ibonds only because I grew up with the savings bonds and it was a pain in the butt to redeem paper ones.  Old promises that I wouldn’t do savings bonds when I got older.  Now, I view them as something to park near term cash for peace of mind without thinking I’m losing to inflation. 

The short answer is I-Bonds will pay more than CD's when inflation is hot. I-Bonds right now if you bought one today are paying 4.26% interest. Come this Fall it looks like that rate will climb 1 or 2 percentage points, possibly even more. Check this out:
Q&A on I Bonds | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities
There is also little risk with I-Bonds because even if inflation would crash you can't lose any money. The worst that can happen is you'd earn 0% interest.

Bumping this up - IML weekend is approaching in Chicago.  
The shoe will be hosting another party in back.  Not sure the specifics on how wild it might end up getting, but it might be worth checking out. I will likely end up showing up.    
The shoe has been on a consistent upswing lately for dancers.  
Deviance at Lucky Horseshoe 
Friday May 22nd - 8pm-2am
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.  Link to Eventbrite advance tickets
Adding - I have no stake in this event.  Just passing it along.  I know a few of the dancers lined up for it, though. 
Also - this is NOT the old private parties from a decade ago so adjust any expectations.  The relatively cheap cover charge should be plenty apparent they aren't going to be risking any liquor license for the old shenanigans. 

“Father was well off, very well off.  His considerable income was derived from fireworks, bunting and other patriotic accruements”.  - Ragtime 
I’m supposed to be comfortable I suppose but it’s mainly locked up in a 401k prison. Then in home equity as well….  I gotta get busy living.  I’d rather die while I’m living than live while I’m dying.  
 

Thursday: Spunk at Monster Bar.  Dancers start at 11pm.  Private dances available. 
Friday: BuffDaddys Filthy Fridays at Red Eye.  5:30pm-10pm.  Private dances available.  Dancers completely nude. 
Saturday: Spunk at Monster Bar.  Dancers start at 11pm.  Private dances available.
