Yes, it was. Apparently Lance Bass was in D.C. and decided to drop by Cobalt, a local gay bar. And my bastard friend got to get a photo with him and I didn’t I love how my drunken haze made me think “Wow, that guy looks familiar when he smiles. Wait a minute…!” (turns out he was smiling for my friend’s picture)… I know you New Yorkers and LA’ians are used to seeing celebs, but I’m easily star-struck, and when I see a national celebrity at a (gay)bar, I’m floored. Oh, and yes he was with his BF, but I never watched Amazing Race so I didn’t recognize him.
Ah, Cobalt…how I used to love that place in my younger, single days. It was one of my favorite places to go to get lucky. But at my age (35) I don’t think it would behoove me to go there any more; in fact, I haven’t been since before it “mysteriously” burned. Though I like to think I’ve still “got it,” I don’t want to be one of those middle-aged dudes desperately trying to fit in with the pretty young boys. These days, on the rare occasion I go to a bar, I pretty much limit myself to Remingtons, the Green Lantern, and the Eagle.
Anyway, not being the type to get starstruck, I wouldn’t have given a rat’s patootie if Lance Bass or Reichen Whatever were there. In fact, I probably would have left because at that point everyone would be all a-twitter about the “celebrities” and not paying attention to me.
[Lewis Black] N*Sync is gay. I can tell by your reaction that you’re a little shocked. Well, they are gay. Gay, gay, gay, gay. They may not know that they are gay, but they are rooty tooty, fresh 'n fruity.[/Lewis Black]
