Some bars are still very busy like 5801, and some bars are less exclusive and have gay and str8 clientele like Spin. I think too there have always been higher class joints (where there would never be a guy giving blow jobs) and places of less high brow interactivity. I do think that it is easier for people to mix in all sorts of clubs and locations. The bar at Arsenal Lanes in Lawrenceville, is a good example. Brad and I will stop in there, as we know the bar tenders and a number of folks. It isn't Gay at all, but I'd have no trouble giving Brad a kiss on the lips there. Other str8 bars, I'd never do that. I think a lot of gays who like to go to Str8 bars don't touch or kiss at all. If it is just hanging out with your friends, that os no big deal. I think too, that trends change in terms of how we (gay guys in general) spend time. Since I have a BF, I rarely go out. We love to dance, but we aren't big on standing around a bar drinking. We'd rather be at a friends and socialize. If I were single that might be different. I might then go out more. On vacation, we tend to go out more and visit bars. Music: loved the music in this show, esp. the Dragonette!
