Dragged through the mud.

I met Jim and Keith and Jason and Jeremy last night for Dance Divas, a drag show featuring dancers from all the professional companies around Chicago. The show was great, the music and choreography were a lot of fun, the Fairmont Hotel ballroom was pretty spectacular ... but we had serious issues with some of the costumes the girls wore. Drag queens do not -- I repeat, DO NOT -- go out on stage or even in public in Butterick dresses.

There was a VIP cocktail reception beforehand with huge muscleboys working the crowd to sell raffle tickets. I bought tickets from one of the guys -- and he slipped me his phone number in return. WOOF. So I'd like to think I won the raffle before they even had the drawing.

In other news, why can't I find the Tony Awards on the TiVo menu? I've looked under Tonys, The Tonys, Awards, American Theatre Wing and even Broadway, but the show's not listed. And I won't be anywhere near a TV this Sunday when they're on. ACK!

Just look up CBS's schedule for Sunday. TiVo has a way to look at each channel's line-up for 2 or 3 weeks.

Guess Who ?

Me again. Try this. Push the "Guide" button. That brings up the currently playing shows on the left-side of the menu. Arrow or Page to the CBS channel. Once that's hghlighted, the menu on the right should show all CBS shows. Arrow over to that menu, then Page down until you find 7 PM Sunday.

What's my prize ? :p

It worked! You're a genius!

And who knew CBS had been moved way up to channel 22 in the Comcast lineup for my neighborhood?
