Yesterday was the second day of our Disneyland Gay Days adventure and, let me tell you, it was almost over before it began. It turned out that Michael wasn’t allowed to bring guests into the Disneyland parks yesterday because of the Miley Cyrus birthday bullshizz that was scheduled to take place last night. Normally, he is allowed to bring guests with him to the parks for free since he is an employee of ABC. The guys were almost ready to just call it off and go back home but I offered to just pay for everyone to get in since we were already there and rearin’ to go. We got in line to buy the tickets and, I kid you not, a woman comes over to us and asks us if we want free passes to go to the parks today … she was not an employee, just a woman who had passes that she couldn’t use (yesterday was the last day they were valid) and she thought we could use them. It was just insane … we couldn’t believe our luck. So we got in and were ready to have a fun day … and then I got horribly ill from the previous night’s debauchery. I felt soooooo horrible all day long but, in the end, we managed to rally and have another day of fun at Disneyland:

I also got to meet a few Pink readers at the park yesterday, including Alison who I got to take a pic with:

The day was just really very fun. Michael did a great job planning everything and we had a blast as a result. I gotta say, it wasn’t the Gay Days bit that made yesterday fun … we would’ve had just as much fun on any ol’ day together.
Thankfully, I managed to rally and get better by the time I had to get back to LA to see Liz Phair at The Troubadour last night. It was my first show at the venue and it was awesome. Liz performed her debut album Exile in Guyville in full (like she did in NYC earlier this summer) to a sold-out house … which included Morrissey himself watching from the VIP balcony. Sadly, I couldn’t snap any pics of him but I did get a few of and with Liz:

The crowd was in LOVE with Liz last night. The whole show was basically a sing-a-long with her … she even mentioned how much she loves play to LA crowds. I must admit, tho, that the band was kinda messy last night. I thought they were really tight when I saw them in NYC but played a bit sloppily last night. Honestly, tho, it added to the overall feel of the show. Liz brought Blake Freedman on stage with her to duet on Flower again and she referred to her as her “protégé”. I gotta say, I was not impressed with any of her performances … she’s not a very strong singer and I don’t understand why Liz keeps bringing her on stage. After the jump, check out video of Liz performing Supernova during the encore …
