The LimeLight

Made myself dinner last night, got my tux garb together, and went to the Desert Air Museum around 1900. We hung out in the offices upstairs until it was time for us to perform. We came on right after Sally Struthers, carrying electric candlesticks to the stage. The front row, which I was a part of, crossed in front of the stage before entering by the steps on either side. A very dramatic entrance, indeed. We sang our song, got very nice applause, and then quickly exited. Went back upstairs to change into our military drag. The gave us shirts earlier, brand new in the bag, which were ours to keep. I ironed mine, but it would have been better to have laundered it first. They had a box of clip-on ties and caps (those with the two points) which we just wore with the shirts and our tux pants & shoes. I thought it was going to look real bad, but it ended up being kind of nice. The professional dancers actually had the matching pants as well. The looked really cute all dressed up. We then were ushered back to our waiting positions and got to see some of the performers. They opened the back wall, which was a hangar door, and one of the stars was a big military plane. It might have been a B-17 or something monstrous like that. The music started and we headed to the stage to sing "You're a Grand Old Flag" with the dancers doing their routing in front. It was a medley of different patriotic songs, ending with "America the Beautiful." Somebody came on stage and passed us confetti "cannons" which we used at the very end to shoot the audience with. That was fun!
I brought a change of clothes and went to Spurline afterwards. Delorian Chase, the current Miss Gay California, was having a drag show with Greg, who I know from karaoke, EmCee'ing in drag. It was fun, and I left after the first act was over. I was getting tired. But I got two glasses of beer, which really hit the spot after performing and dealing with the heat. Nasdrovia!
