Weekend Update

OK, here's the weekend update - the ex arrived Saturday night, I took the light rail to the airport to meet him. It was a very nice ride, so we decided to take it back instead of cabbing it all the way back - saved about 20 bucks, extra cocktail money. We went and had a little dinner at an asian restaurant in Uptown - it was very good. I walk right by it on my way home, so I'll definitely be getting takeout in the future. Then we hit the town. Started at Brass Rail, which was quiet, then we went to the 90s to see the queens. The ex was amazed at how hot the girls are here. In Portland, even the prettiest are kinda blah. Then, we went to the Saloon where it was *jumping* - he was blown away. So much more fun than even the busiest night in Portland. The next day it was time to go to the Guthrie Theater.

It is an amazing theater, absoultely gorgeous in design, and it felt like you were right next to the stage, we had great seats for The Glass Managerie, and Randy Harrison, from Queer as Folk, was adorable in his role as the son. He looked so shiny and perfect I wanted to take a bite. Although, I must say, Harriet Harris, who's played in Desperate Housewives and Fraiser stole the show. She was great. Here's a view of the Mississippi River from the theater:

After the theater, we had a late lunch, early dinner, then went to Bolt for the afternoon. Well, that turned into many hours, as we had a great time singing and carrying on with the rest of the crowd for the movie and musical and television clips they show on Sundays. It was a blast! Then, made a quick stop into the 90s and the Rail. We met a ton of people and had so much fun. He now totally understands why I thought the bars in Portland are so dullsville.

Monday was touristy day, walked through the skyway downtown and ran into this elephant at Mall of America. Almost forgot, had an incredible meal at Figlio's in Uptown - would highly recommend it to any visitors. We also had a couple of good talks while he was here about our relationship, both decided it's best if we're just friends and I told him about the blog, although I said I didn't want him to read it, because then I would have to edit my feelings that I like to share about how we're dealing with everything. He understands it's nothing bad, just personal. Anyway, a good time was had by all, he can't wait to come back and it was fun having someone to show around.

One last pic of the Guthrie. Did I mention there are two total hotties sitting across from me at the coffee shop. Very distracting. Well, time for work, hope you're all having a good week!
