I'm part of the leather community here in Los Angeles. We have a bunch of contests during the year that are like, well, if you can imagine a gay leather version of Mrs. America. Occasionally I am an emcee for some of the contests. Yes, I am the LA kinky gay Burt Parks. Anyway, last Saturday night I was co-emcee for a contest in a bar out in Long Beach called Pistons, it was the Mr. Pistons Leather contest. A good friend of mine was in the audience who is also a huge Stevie fan (and how lucky am I that I have another Stevie Fanatic to geek out with) so I told him that at some point during the night I was going to throw a Stevie lyric into the show somewhere. So during the first section I looked at my co-emcee and I said, "you know, all five of these guys are too good. I'm glad not a judge because I just can't pick a winner. Why can't we give them all medals, I mean, why does someone always have to win?"
And out in the crowd one person laughed and I knew my friend got the joke.
Next month I'm doing an even bigger contest, and my friend will be there. So now I need to figure out a way to sneak in a really good line just to see if he's paying attention.
