Where am I?????

After a show in Athens I flew to Thessaloniki to perform another show. I took some of the time to rest and catch up with some work (I do run my business, so when I mean work I do not mean directing models and such...LOL). Later in the evening I went to Da Da Bar to do a show again with Niko from Athens who is a total blast to work with! So many people came out to see me in Thessaloniki, so much so, that I was quite surprised! The Greek audience is so much fun and people are a bit shy to come say "hi" but a few brave did come talk to me for a bit and I was more than happy to chat them up a bit.








The next day I woke up late (finally some rest), went to the Starbucks for a cofee and some work, and then leisurely made my way to the airport where I boarded my flight on British Airways to London. I upgraded to myself to Business Class and was completely happy on this 3 1/2 hour flight. The lamb stew was incredible for airplane food and packets of whole macadamian nuts were passed out, not icky peanuts! When I finally got to my hotel I totally crashed after taking a long hot shower.














The next day was full of meetings that turned out to be quite successful. But I am really over how expensive England and especially LOndon have become. The cheapest room was $300 per night (well, I could have gone for something out of National Lampoon's European Vacation) but my privacy and the need for cleanliness trump a $150 roach motel the size of a twin bed! That evening I went out to "Salon," the hottest and chicest place to go in London's Soho on a Tuesday evening. It was nice to see Minty and Aubrey, the most glam hosts out there, and catch up on lost time since I left London 2 years ago to return to Miami Beach. Minty bought me drinks all night long (whew, at $20 a drink, that was a relief) and we talked and talked. I also ran into my friend Chris Jepson, photographer extrordanaire of London's nightlife, and someone I have hired to take photograph's of my models and myself.

OUR ECONOMY! Talking about Europe and England I have to slip in that our $$$ is now worth nearly nothing over here! It has dropped over 30% over the past 4 months making Europe incredibly expensive and London prohibitively expensive (a night out can cost you $150!!!). We are in a recession (not on the brink of it) and our economy is tanking quickly people! Make sure you do NOT vote for a Republican again. Gays should have no interest in Republicans anyway. If they had their way, we would be exterminated, so what the hell with Log Cabin Republicans!?!?!?!? Needless to say, we need to make our $$ a little stronger so we can go back to Europe and actually enjoy it instead of counting pennies.

A late night in London meant a crappy next day in Amsterdam, although my meetings went well. I took the train into the city and visited Xavier from Drake's (the most popular and central porn shop in Amsterdam). After a quick nap on Xavier's couch in the office I took a quick flight to Berlin and so here I am!
