IML Weekend Wrap-Up
My long-time friend Bruce is one of the funniest men alive. After five long dangerously hilarious days my stomach is still sore from laughing so hard. Bruce got in last week, and we went to the Grabby Awards Saturday night. After the Grabbys we went to Chi Chi LaRue's party and danced the night away. Bruce retired for the eve and I spent some quality time with the unspeakably gorgeous Erik Rhodes (Falcon's freshest find). Sunday morning we went to the IML expo for a while then did a walk-through of the Chicago Theater - where Bruce performed for the pageant. He did a 22 minute set that brought the theater to a roar, then we headed over to the House of Blues for the fantastic afterparty. The HOB was also packed with porn stars, and I consumed copious amounts of whiskey and politely fondled most of them. I don't even remember what time we got back to the hotel - eek, but we had a delicious brunch Monday and wasted the balance of the holiday catching up on tinsel town gossip (Bruce has written the Academy Awards show for the past 16 years). If you haven't seen the excellent doc film, Get Bruce, drive don't run to buy it. I love you Bruce! Thanks for the greatest IML weekend ever.

Good blog, man.
name dropper....
Okay, but the pics we all want to see (well, I'll speak for myself, at least) are the ones of you and Eric Rhodes. If you don't want to put them on the blog, you have my email, right? : P
You are just too adorable Spencer. I'm glad somebody has finally gotten you out of that luxe apartment of yours. God knows I've been trying to get you to kick up your heels all spring.
Did you meet Oprah as well? Your'e such a hobnobber. And Eric Rhodes? umm, yum!
And it turned into a gang bang with you Oprah, Bruce and Eric, right?
okay folks, for the record, namedropping is what i do. if i sold insurance i'd talk about policy exclusions, if i sold software i'd flack features, if i sold cars i'd talk miles per gallon. I sell stories about me. And stories about me sometimes involve famous people... so if namedropping turns u off u should avoid this site. :) Oh, and who in chicago HASN'T met oprah??? Please! she's OLD NEWS.
I haven't met Oprah. But I have met Bruce. It was at a GALA Chorus event many years ago... he was the emcee of our closing ceremony. Afterward there was a dance, and I turned around and here he was. "Hey Bruce!" I said. "How's it going?" We chatted for all of 2 minutes and he was on his way.
My big brush with fame, longer than a minute, but shorter than 15. ;)
Brucey, Brucey, Brucey...Bruce was the first gay name I learned to speak. No seriously. The first one with that sibilant esssssss.
Mwah,
