| - So I had just been thinking that what Neonopolis and East Fremont need is a cool gay establishment to help revitalize the area. After all, before the gays, West Hollywood was just a grungy area of unincorporated LA county. Palm Springs? Forgotten movie star playland. I wonder if Avalon would be cooler if the Santa Catalina Island Company started to promote to gays?
Anyway, all these thoughts went through my head and then I saw an ad for Drink and Drag, so I decided to check it out. Once again, someone beat me to the punch. First visit was around lunch and they were closed, but the door was open and I found one of the employees telling some tourists what the place was about. I came back later in the evening, got some drinks (they still let me get the 2-for-1 special even though it was like one minute until it was supposed to be over). They were all really friendly. Employees were a mix of drag queens and go-go boys. By the way, drag queens dancing in the bowling lanes is hilarious.
Also, I don't normally go to bars alone, but did in this case. Found the patrons to be really cool and met a couple of new friends.
So run, don't walk (unless you're in high heels) to Drink and Drag!
