My First Straight Crush...

So I just returned to Chateau Sandie...after a great energizing evening at a Peter Hutchinson for Minnesota campaign event. It was really great to see the folks out to support Peter's candidacy...and it was fun to reconnect with some friends...Quiana and Matthias were there...Brie Chatters showed up...and Tirzah came along with the only black woman from Rhode Island...who...was HILARIOUS. If I still lived in MN...she would be one of my new best friends.  Peter's campaign staff were great...and I had the honor of introducing Peter to the crowd after listening to Quiana rock the mic with some of her bad ass poetry...and after I had the opportunity to share a piece as well. It Ain't Truth If It Doesn't Hurt also made an appearance at the fiesta when Dean ...my new straight crush...read a quotation from the December 10th entry. Dean is funny and sweet...seems to be a smart cookie...and...has a wonderful wife that was equally as sweet and kind. That totally sucks. If she had been an evil creature dripping ooze and slime...well...then I would have had no qualms about starting on a campaign to seduce Dean and turn him to the Gay Side...or at least the Bi Side (for all I know...he's already on the Bi Side)...but the point is...he has a fantastic wife...and since she is so fantastic...I have to draw the line at making out with Dean. But that's where I draw the line. Hehehehe.

After the party, Quiana took me, Brie, and Matthias (aka her fiance Alex) out to dinner at Cafe Brenda. Oh my BOURGOUISE GOD...I totally appreciate the dinner that Quiana paid for...but I would rather have my toe nails painted with liquid nitrogen and then broken off with a hammer than go back to that restaurant. The menu read like a French cafe menu that had fallen off the short bus. Who the hell wants crushed nutmeg pomegrante mango compote with a reduced boisenberry honey fruit paprika glaze on their free range organic no-fat no-hormone no-flavor chicken breast? Not me says I. I'm just not that kind of fag. I mean...I love a great meal...I love a great restaurant...but paying $20 for a chicken breast is outrageous...for all that give me a hormone studded...carcinogenic slab of beef with mad cow flavoring and some BBQ sauce...and I'm good to go. It'll taste better...and I bet I can get ten pounds for $12.99...soft drink of my choice included.

Anyway...all in all it has been a great evening. Karla Eckdahl...Peter's wife...was radiant as usual...Peter was on point...on message...and snazzily dressed...and I am more excited about his campaign than for any campaign that I've ever heard about...ever. Check out hutchinsonforminnesota.com. Peter is where it's at...and I'm with Peter. I'm going to use my free flight on NWA to fly home for Peter's official kick-off event on January 25th...his candidacy is that important to me. I encourage you all to check him out. Email him. Call him. Listen to him. And then...support him. It's time for change in MN.
