The Things I Do . . . .

Since I began using foursquare, I have become seriously addicted to doing whatever I can to earn badges. I know; it's a terrible thing, but think of other things to which I could be addicted, and this turns out to be pretty tame.

In fact, last night, I dragged my friend Clark to Club Ripples with two goals in mind. First: to see a drag performance. I hadn't seen a drag performance in quite some time. No particular reason; I just never found the urge to get off my fat rump to see one since my "younger" days. I learned earlier in the week that Shannel, one of the contestants from Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race, would be performing last night. Let me just say that Shannel really worked the floor and the music, dancing and lip-synching back and forth without missing a beat, energizing the crowd, and looking fabulous all the while. Even when the music cut out during her final song, she maintained her aplomb and acted as if it were part of the performance.

My second goal of the evening: to unlock the RuPaul's Drag Race badge on foursquare. To do so, I had to be following LogoTV on foursquare and then check into a particular venue. The page listed many places, mostly in LA or New York, but thank goodness Club Ripples was listed! So last night, before Shannel took to the floor, I logged on and checked in, et voilà! Now I can boast about having the badge added to my badge list.


The lengths I will go to to earn one of these badges . . . shameful. Shameful, I tell you! At least we saw a fantastic show!
