It would seem that some sufficiently capitalized individual would see that one night at the Shitty Kitty doesn't meet the possible demand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-22409907537083523942007-03-29T18:18:00.000-07:002007-03-29T18:18:00.000-07:00We used to go to The Graduate in high school.

That's WAY before your time. They closed down when I was 16.<BR/><BR/>Last time I checked, Ventura still has two gay bars. They're prolly the only gay night spots between you and Weho.

Actually saw Billy Bragg perform there. It was not gay at all, in either a good or bad way. It is now a university-owned lecture hall.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957861827918606478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-90024262939470913172007-03-29T16:57:00.000-07:002007-03-29T16:57:00.000-07:00In this day and age, "total straightness" doesn't ...In this day and age, "total straightness" doesn't exist. If Laguna Beach is losing it's gay soul, all it means is that "the gay" will be popping up somewhere else. The gays are, after all, the great pioneers of gentrification.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize that SB was totally lacking in gay night spots. How odd. Of course, the only place I ever went to was The Graduate, and I always thought that place was totally gay and not in a good way.The Angry Young Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678561941393086322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-12990353743199394492007-03-27T12:18:00.000-07:002007-03-27T12:18:00.000-07:00I doubt so much that they intend to save it from s...I doubt so much that they intend to save it from straightness per se, so much as to save it from homogeneity and a wealth of Disneyfied chain stores. Not that the gays don't like the latter too, but it's hard to consider that a community which has no gathering place, especially one intended to facilitate interaction openly, can be a place where people can meet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
