Classic Ole School Head still doing his thang!

Noteworthy on the local NY tri-state radar "DRAY EBONY" best known as the Father of the ballroom community House of Ebony and promoter of many DL parties and social events is once again bringing us another slamm'in party. Dray and Crew will take over "THE DUGOUT" dropping some hot beats and if I know the Ebony crew some sickening eye candy! Well worth a glimpse!

New and Noteworthy

September 16th New York will become only the second state to offer enhanced driver's licenses. The licenses, which will include a person's photo and a computer chip to electronically identify the cardholder at the border, will be for sale at state and county DMV offices. Available only to U.S. citizens who are New York residents. On the surface a good idea but after close examination one of the major disadvantages and why it may be simply a waste of money is it can't be used in place of a passport as identification for international air flights. For example travelers will be able to use the enhanced driver's license if they take a cruise to Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean but will need a passport if they fly. The enhanced license will cost $80, which is $30 more than current driver's licenses. The cost will be less and prorated for people who already have licences by how many years are left until it expires. The enhanced licenses, as with current driver's licenses, are valid for eight years. At the end of the day the enhanced drivers license costs the same as a passport with the same technology for half the service.

Friday September 19th (6 PM - 1AM), Twisted Life Prommotions will be hosting their annual off the chain 'Gay Day' at Great Adventures. Not to be missed, unlike other parks, this is a private party closed to the general public. The special ticket price is less expensive than general admission on normal days. Anyone who purchases the special tickets is more than welocme. additional information is availble at www.twistedlife.com. The event draws an amazingly mixed and diverse crowd. Be sure to arrive early as they have grown to over 5000 participants!

Fall Day Trip "Great Adventures"

Have you ever woke up and just wanted to do something totally different for a change? Sunday was my day, I woke up feeling like I wanted to do something different from my typical sunday adventures. I decided to get up and make my way to "Six Flags Great Adventure" you know more flags more fun six flags. The bus ride there from the always interesting Port Authority Bus Terminal was simple and resonable at a cool $28.00. The admission to the park was hefty and even more so since I decided to purchase a fall pass (four visits until the close of the season ($50.00)) and into the park I went. At this point I decided I didn't want to wait in lines all day so I purchased a Gold Flash Pass ($80.00)and then I hit the trail to the mighty awesome and majestic "Khinda KA". After a 5 minute wait at the head of the line (Gold Pass) I was strapped in fierce and it flew,absolutely off the hook, everything they said it was and more. Off the MF chain! It was so fierce that I lost my bridge whipping over the top, I know thats going to be a nice dental bill!From there it was on to the "Superman" ride that was not all that from a ride stand point but it was interesting becase it elevates you into a flat position sinmilar to flying so you hit the pops dips and spins face down. That made a mediocre roller coaster into a cool one. Remeber food in the park "ain't Cheap" sodas were four bucks and a hot dog three just to give you an idea. Yeah I broke down and had a few. Basically the day was a great adventure plenty of eye candy and family if you get my drift! All of the top attractions lived up to the hype and I plan to go back with some hot number in the near future. Great Adventures is recommended as a day trip with easy and affordable public transportation from Philly, New York and Newark. Open everyday until November 2nd. Enjoy

"A GURL NAMED HANNA"

Waddup Peeps!
Well! I'm back home after a few weeks in the DR. The trip was great even with all the drama created by Hurricane - Tropical Storm Hanna. She was a mess. There was a ton of rain and crazy winds. We managed to sneak out in between drops and do our dirt. There were a lot of tourisits in town during the Labor Day Weekend. I met some really cool peeps and saw some of the "old wanna bes". Anthony was a great host as usual. Check out the shots of the damage and drama left by Hanna on the Malecon.
