Last night's Premiere went well for me and my team. My temp staff are good, the crowd was very well-behaved, and there were very few glitches that seem to be de rigeur at Premieres. Yippee!!

The Premiere party was somewhere other than my tent, so that made me happy. We walked down to the Ohio River and onto the Belle of Cincinnati riverboat. It didn't leave the dock, but it was still kinda cool to be on a riverboat. Now if only the staff had been interested in hosting a party for us instead of walking around with long faces....

We ducked outta there after a while and headed to the local joint for some Thursday karaoke viewing. Well, let's be honest -- we were interested in people viewing. And there were some lovely people to view, included among them a handsome gentleman who had seen the show and had been at the party. I had caught sight of him on the boat, and wondered it he was lookin' back at me, but it's hard to tell in those situations where I'm such a dumb-ass shy guy. But finally after the karaoke was finished and the lights went up, Tower Girl started the ball rolling with this handsome fella.

Tower Girl is the best bar date EVER! OK, it's a tie between Tower Girl, Luscious Lorna and Suzie. But Tower Girl was on her game last night!! She stopped handsome guy, made a witty comment, and then opened the door for me to begin a conversation. I took the cue and invited him (hereafter known as Handsome Premiere Party Guy, or HPPG) to join us gals back in our room for a continuation of drinks. He politely declined, but seemed intrigued. And when he reached into his pants wallet and pulled out his dick business card, I knew I was in there. Not that night, for there was still the small matter of continuing the drinks at our place. Let's keep our priorities in order, kids. Drinks with the gals come before almost anything.

But he game me his business card, touched me indiscreetly on the shoulder a couple of times, made sure to inform me that he managed the bar we were at, and specifically mentioned that he would look forward to seeing me around there again. I responded clumsily with something about the fact that it is, in fact, our local drinking spot and that I would be hanging out there every night until I hook him once in a while. Message received, message delivered.

Overall, a lovely night. And with Premiere over, Milestone Sunday is just around the corner! You can bet I'll be hanging out desperately casually at a certain local joint : )
