Carnegie Hall?
May 10, 2006


Carnegie Hall, New York

After my class tonight, to celebrate the fact that it was a random Wednesday of no particular importance, a few friends and I decided to go out and party.  Visiting an "adult cabaret" was suggested and after .0000001 of a millisecond of deliberations in my mind, I forcibly agreed.  As the taxi took us there, the driver actually suggested we go somewhere else called Carnegie.  I thought...wow!  Daegu has a Carnegie Hall with an adult cabaret!?  Go go Daegu!

We entered the place and right away began to loose our hearing.  This was more of a nightclub with a small dance floor than anything else.  The music blasted so loud that later that night a 747 crashed into my bedroom and I didn't hear a thing.  We ordered some brews and danced a little.  During one of the dance breaks, a few variety acts performed.  One act was a band of people that couldn't really sing and pretended to play instruments, another act was a man and woman dancing sexily, and the third were two women changing clothes quickly and dancing sexy.

The band wasn't so good, but the man and woman couple dancing was really good and funny.  In a bizarre twist, the man got completely naked (hiding the you know what though), but the woman didn't...what a jip!  The two women dancing were pretty good.  One was SUPER cute who looked to be in her low 20s and the other one looked more like a pissed off bulldog in her 50s.  They put on a pretty good dance show and stripped down to undies with one bare breast and the other with a pasty.  I, of course, fell immediately in love with the younger of the two.

I was told afterwards that the DJ said, before they went on, that they were both "transgender" dancers.  So, that means they are men who are changing into women.  I can believe that the old bulldog was a man, but no way the cutie could be a man.  If that's true, I'm in love with a man.  Does that mean I'm gay?  Damnit...I'm totally gay....wait...I'm not gay, I'm just in love with a transgender man who's cute and dances naked....wait...does that mean I'm gay?  Damnit...I'm not gay...ah crap...I'm gay....no wait...not gay!  Ah screw it...she/he's hot...everyone's gay!

What I learned today about Korea:  1)  I'm totally not gay!
