re: #110 Slumbering Behemoth

Heh. I used to go to freak/fetish bars dressed in a collar and tie, nice slacks and suspenders.

You haven’t lived until a very large, very manly transvestite bartender looks at you like you have a horn growing out of your head.

this is not unusual in Portland, but that’s because there’s a straight up DIY freak continuum between the fetish scene, the goths, the victorian-impeccable-steampunk-goths, who all do the tuxedo and cane and goggles thing :D
