It'd been several years since I was last at the Lamplighter, and, well, not much has changed. The hours are a bit different (probably thanks to Covid) -- 2pm to 9:45pm. At least that's what…

This review will actually cover two visits -- Friday late night and Saturday afternoon.

I've visited the KOD periodically since the 90s, and even though it had been a good ten years since my last visit,…

I was in the Twin Cities for a long overdue vacation -- far, far too long -- and something I wanted to do was hit some of the old haunts, Dreamgirls being one of them.…

Here I am, sitting on an old folding chair, fidgeting, nervous, first time at one of these meetings. I'm not alone. There are a bunch of other guys here, too, some look like they just…

Last month, during my annual pilgrimage to Indianapolis, I visited Harem House on three different days, all later at night. The cover was $7 each night and the Cokes about $4 (if I remember right…
