URNA @ Trixies this Saturday Oct. 03

It is hard to change someone's decision if you yourself have your doubts about something.  You lack the enthusiasm to push your idea, you feel jaded and a little funny.  I am sure that is how most of the "regulars",  who quit going to Trixies have felt since the showbar re-opened a couple months ago.  What can a TG bar offer to a bunch of girls who go out everywhere and don't mind the stares of disconcert from the mainstream?  Nothing. Yep, that's right.  We go to expensive restaurants and eat better than what the kitchen at Trixies offers.  We can walk into mostly any bar and get a drink that is cheaper than what Trixies is charging. We don't need the hassle of the occasional admirer and we have seen the showgirls hundreds of times.
Why would I then accept to help Jon and Vicki at the URNA get together this Saturday Oct. 3 then? Got into an argument with Glenn even. He said he wasn't going. I am sure most of the girls I hang out with, will probably be missing.  But,  I do not think this get together is destined to fail.
Of course, all the guys will be there- that's the only place they will go, but if there are no girls, then their enthusiasm wanes. 
Definitely, there is no enthusiasm in the veteran ranks but I have noticed a stir among the part-time girls. Part- time girls do not go to Wilton Manors or South Beach- they rather remain anonymous and Trixies is the perfect spot for them.  A couple of girls wrote to me and are delighted to know URNA is sponsoring a party this Saturday.  I think back several years and I remember how I lived for the day when I could come out and use the term full time like a signature at the end of my name.  There are more girls still in hiding and we live totally oblivious to this fact.  Back then, the only place I would dare to go was Trixies.  And I find this a very compelling argument to support the "only" TG bar in So Fla.  The original owners Carlos and Stan made it a point to make every girl that walked in to feel welcome and comfortable.  I told Sean (the new guy) that THAT was what made Trixies.  Not the show, not the new lights or the new music system.  A girl who rarely came out had the chance to feel the 'I am out' for a few hours, anonymously.
I do not know if the new ownership will understand.  But I am going to give  Trixies a chance.   Maybe I don't feel like I am supporting Sean as much as I am supporting girls who do not have their own voice in the matter.  Jon and Vicki have supported us all these years, so yeah I will be there too :-)  And if you are coming stop by and say hi, I don't bite :-P
