For those who live in the Philly, Allentown, Bethlehem area. My lesbian professor recommended a bar called The Stonewall. Are you familiar with it? I need a place to go whenever I'm in the area.

I wonder, are the Pennsylvania fags any different than the NY fags?

i can't say that i have, though allentown and bethlehem are not places i'm very familiar with, so there's that.

see queer as folk.
but that's pittsburgh.
and it's hard to believe that pittsburgh is as fabulous as all that.

hey, pittsburgh is fabulous! Well, of the three gay bars i've been to, only one of them was truly a great time, but then i'm not gay so who am i to rate the scene?

you don't have to be gay to enjoy gay.

That's my come-on line.

I can honestly say that New York New York is a great place to get stupid drunk. I used to live across the street from it and they keep it open very, very, very late.

HA! I've been to the Stonewall. You just outed me!

I'm not gay but I went there with an ex girlfriend during New Years of 2002 and one other time with some friends. My only complaint was that it was really damn smokey, like more smokey than any other bar that I've been to.

It's a pretty cool place but I didn't get the impression that it was anything special. For New Years, they had a transexual DJ that played such good tunes to keep the dancing at a maximum energy level. Also, there seemed to be more lesbians than gay dudes. Hearing about it from the older people in the Allentown area, it seemed to be A LOT wilder in it's heyday in the 80's than now.

yeah, sure. working on a sociology paper, right?

That's so funny. Well my professor's gotta be in her 50s so you may be right about the generation thing.

Is there any chance a nice guy from NY can persuade you and girlfriend to join me for a couple of drinks when I'm in town...

Actually, it was a proctology dissertation.


OPA, c yr PMs.

opa, shouldn't you be pissed that the stonewall copped its name from a historic queer spot in your own nyc? that's like another city calling their baseball diamond "yankee stadium."

I too used to live very close to New York New York. I used to wait for the bus right outside it every morning. Never been there, though.

It's allll good. Wouldn't hurt you to come to a gay bar with me. Bastid!

i was actually there the last time i was in town. it's funny that i don't know anyone who has ever paid for a drink there.

we used to always cruise over there when all the fun people got fired from Harris's. My girlfriend used to work at Havana

You've never asked. Although I'm not entirely comfortable with the amount of my-ass-grabbing that went on in the one gay dance club I went to in Indianapolis.

Don't worry, stick with me. I usually scare off all the men.

just watch the last Real World, it seemed like they ONLY went to gay bars.

I've been to a few and as a strait man Bump creeped me out the least. Though I'm not sure if you want to go to the bar that creeped me out the least or not.

I like talking about baseball with the buch lesbians at Sisters.

i've never even heard of the stonewall and i'm a lehigh valley native.

Really? Are there any other Lehigh Valley people here?

there weren't any that i knew of when i moved last year. all of my obner-related functions took place in philly.
