Dining OUT at TimBukTu, 1251 N. Andover Rd.
2023-02-23 18:30 - 20:00
Although it’s National Chili Day, National Banana Bread Day, and National Toast Day, none of that will be found here. When I asked for suggestions, I was told to go to TimBukTu, they might as well have told me to go to Andover! TBT is the oldest (Straight) bar in Andover. I’m sure that they even have the original straights to prove it. But they also have great sandwiches and appetizers. You can see their menu at: www.timbuktubarandgrill.com/images/menu_quarter_page_for_web_04012019_2_.pdf. They don’t take reservations,so whoever gets there first, grab a table for eight.

Guys Night OUT at J’s Lounge, 513 E. Central.
2023-02-24 19:00 - 22:00

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca.
2023-02-25 15:30 - 17:30
If International Sword Swallowers Day chokes you up and leaves you dry, then try bowling. We have bowlers and onlookers at various times and levels. And since it’s also National Clam Chowder Day, afterwards we’ll probably go somewhere for a burger.

Video Nite at Sparky’s, 229 Colorado Street.
2023-02-26 19:00 - 22:00
What better way than on National Tell A Fairy Tale Day and National Carpe Diem Day, to watch gay movies. We have been watching some very good gay movies. Now, if we could only figure out the relationship between Netflix and the TV, we would be watching more movies like, Detroit Evolution & Reawakening, Detroit -Reed900 – Nines & Gavin – Arrival of the Birds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktkg6K51ixA. If you’re wondering what to bring to add to our communal concession stand, your nuts; it’s also Natinal Pistachio Day. Finally be sure to wear your Button Down 500s since it’s Levi Strauss Day.

2023-03-02 18:30 - 20:00
It may be Egg MacMuffin Day, but this ain’t McDonald’s. It’s also National Banana Cream Pie Day, and this ain’t Spears either. But you can still get breakfast all day and there is plenty of other food to order. You can see their menu at: www.crackerbarrel.com/menu. They don’t take reservations, but do take call ahead seating up to six people on their app. So, whoever gets there first, ask for a table of ten, to begin with.

2023-03-04 09:00 - 10:00
It’s been a while since we’ve been to Fat Ernie’s. I thought it would be a good fit for World Obesity Day; we’re going to try them for breakfast. You can see their menu at: www.faterniesfamilydining.com/menus/#breakfast. They don’t take reservations either, so, again whoever gets there first, grab a table for eight to ten people.

2023-03-10 11:30 - 13:00
It’s National Pack Your Lunch Day, but why? Not when we can have a hot cooked meal at Copper Oven. So, on this International Day of Awesomeness, we’ll order off of the menu: copperovencafe.com/menu. And for dessert, try their sugar free Coconut Cake, it’s Awesome!

Bowling at West Acres Bowling Center, 749 N. Ridge Rd.
2023-03-11 15:30 - 17:30
Since Seneca Bowl will be busy with tournaments, West Acres has open bowling, and no Cosmic Bowling any more! Cost is $5.69 per person per game and $5.69 for shoes. Let’s try it and find out. Sure, National Wash Your Nose Day and World Plumbing Day sound like fun, but wouldn’t you rather go bowling? You don’t have to bowl, you can just sit and watch how we do it, and we call it bowling. Kind of like how we play volleyball in the pool, but now we try to keep the ball between the lines. And that’s not easy, you’ll see why. But afterwards, we’ll probably go somewhere to eat and forget.

Daylight Saving Begins

Come and enjoy a good hot meal and share your ideas. So, is Ken Day a celebration of the first transgender doll? Sorry Ken, a pretty face can only take you so far. That’s why I like to play with Billy Doll any day. They “ came out “ around 1996. I remember seeing them in the “ gay “ book store (not adult) in Austin when they went on sale. I definitely checked it out lol. As a kid when Ken went on sale I opened a box in the store and pulled down his pants and was Very disappointed.

Pitch Night at Tracy’s, 2914 Grail.
2023-03-22 19:00 - 22:00
It’s As Young As You Feel Day. If you think you feel young, you should feel me! After all age is just a number, like your weight, height, blood pressure, A1C, cholesterol, vision, etc.. you get the picture. But on this National Goof Off Day, we’re going to play with our equally young friends. However, don’t you goof, and forget to bring something to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar.

Bowling at West Acres Bowling Center, 749 N. Ridge Rd.
2023-03-25 15:30 - 17:30
Again, Seneca Bowl is busy with tournaments. However West Acres offers open bowling and no Cosmic Bowl any more. $5.69 per person per game and $5.69 for shoes. If there is a change, we’ll send out an email. Even though it’s International Waffle Day, we don’t have an International House of Waffles. So, we might as well as go bowling rather than play Tolkein Reading Day. Come out to bowl, or to watch. Waffle Day and Pecan Day, make a good combination, and a great suggestion for somewhere to go to eat afterwards.

Video Nite at Sparky’s, 229 Colorado Street.
2023-03-26 19:00 - 22:00
Since it’s Make Up Your Own Holiday Day, then I proclaim today as Gay Video Nite. Sparky has been busy researching videos to offer. He’s nearly wore his fingers down to the boner. Bone! Sorry.

2023-03-31 19:00 - 22:00
