I came to an epiphany this morning. I like the ’80s Whitney but ’90s Janet the best.

Life’s not a drag when you’re at a drag show.

It’s almost the freakin’ weekend. What are your plans? I’m going to be out at Churchill Downs tomorrow at 3:30 to watch the first half of the U of L game on the big screen and drink $2 Mich Ultras. Wanna join? I’ll be giving away MyDerbyLove.com swag, and I think we should have a shotgun contest!
Tomorrow night I’ll be bartending once again with my DJ friend Laura Shine at Walden Theatre’s Slant Culture Theatre Fest. Come on out and sit with us at the bar! We could use the company!

I’m taking Christmas off this year. I hope none of you mind. There will be no tree or twinkling lights decorating my house, no stockings hung on the chimney with care, and I have no hope that St. Nick will ever be there. I’ve already replaced 106.9 with an R&B station to avoid hearing the jingling of bells or the general merriment of a lame sleigh ride.
I’ve got enough bourbon on my bar that I can hibernate through December. Santa can’t give me what I want, and neither can Donald Trump. No amount of money or magic can mend what is broken. So you can just call me Scrooge, the infamous cracker of nuts. Bah humbug.

The Back Door’s John Dant selects his barrel.
Here’s the story I wrote about my experience selecting a single barrel of Old Forester with the Back Door. It was such a fun time, and if you have $6,500 burning a hole in your pocket, you should buy one, too!

I’m on the Humor Panel for tomorrow’s Writer’s Block Fest!
Who’s up for a Saturday morning session on how to be funny? OK, who’s up for some bloody marys while I try to sound smart and articulate the anatomy of a dick joke? You bring the bloodies, I’ll bring the dick jokes!
I was invited to be a part of this year’s Writer’s Block Fest, so I’ll be on the Humor Panel tomorrow morning at 9:15 a.m. at the Green Building Gallery, 732 E. Market St. The best part is, it’s free! I’ll be joining author Patrick Wensick, comedian Chris Anger and author Ben Tanzer.
Someone please bring me a bloody mary! I’m begging!

Well, I guess that was it for fall. Now it’s on to the next cold, bitter, brutal season. You don’t scare me, winter! Bring it.

Going on a field trip today to the Brown-Forman Distillery with the folks from the Back Door to pick out their own one-of-a-kind barrel of Old Forester. These are a few of my favorite things — the Back Door and bourbon!
