Chez Nous
After we left Bikini Lounge, we got in our cars and went about half a mile up the street to Chez Nous. Another hole-in-the-wall club, but this one had live music. When I stepped into the doors, I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore. It was real dark only candles luminating the club. The band was doing their set and it was real funky/soul/blues/jazz type of sound. They were incredible. If you ever have a chance, hit up this spot. You won't be disappointed.
Bikini Lounge
It was couples night on Friday night. Summer, Eric, the bf and I met up and hit some hole-in-the-wall places in downtown phoenix. Let me just say it was refreshing and so much fun to do something totally different than usual. We first hit up Bikini Lounge...real "Cheers" type of place. Seems like everyone knew everyone, and even though this was the case, they were still friendly to us outsiders. The lounge was decorated in well, Island stuff (tiki's, bamboo, etc) and the music was again, very islandy (yes, that's a word. LOL).

2012 Movie
Here's a sneak peak at the new movie being released about 2012. If you don't know what 2012 is, it's when the Mayans predicted the world to end. Or at least it will be the end of the world as we know it. Take that how you will.
The Plot:
“With the Mayan calendar ending in 2012, a large group of people must deal with natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, typhoons and glaciers.” (Source: IMDb)
Director Roland Emmerich tells more about his source of inspiration for the movie 2012:
“…This whole movie I’m doing next was inspired by just the phenomenon of the Internet when you type in Google, ‘2012′, you get 240 million hits. That’s a lot. And it’s just, so many people write about it, believe it, that our world comes to an end in 2012. I said wow. I kind of said before I will never do a disaster movie again. I said, for this idea I have to do it again.”

Scentsational Idea
How it works:
Try samples of Sephora's most sizzling scents
Take your pick of the fragrance you like best
Trade in your scent certificate for a Full-Size Bottle of your favorite.
An $80 value for $50
This would be an excellent gift for yourself or others...especially if you're like me and don't know which fragrance to choose
DXC

Red and Meth
Redman and Method Man graced Arizona with their presence Friday night at the Marquee Theater. Let me be the first to say the show was pretty WACK! Was none too thrilled with their performance. I have seen both Red and Meth together in concert and separately and each of those past times I was never disappointed, until last Friday's show. It seemed awkward and put together so fast. It was more of an open mic night than it was a concert. Red and Meth brought all of their "brothers" with them and let them do a few songs each. Bor-Ing! I was there to see Red and Meth not some show and tell ninja! Boo! Thankfully we got our tix from a friend because I would have demanded my money back. Good lookin out on the tix Eric! Always fun to hang out with you and Summertime! That was the highlight of my night.

Equal Rights!
Gay marriage is a civil rights issue. It's about equality. It's about fairness. It's about time!
Tomorrow, Saturday, November 15th, all over America and Canada, concerned citizens will be peacefully demonstrating the passing of Prop H8te in California - and similar discriminatory measures in Florida, Arizona and Arkansas.
This is an issue that affects us in EVERY state!
It's about the rights, privileges and protections that come with civil marriage that are currently being denied to gay and lesbian couples. It's about discrimination. And we can't stand for it!
Hopefully YOU will join your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and relatives fighting for equality tomorrow. Stand with us. For what's right!
Here's the link to the protest being held tomorrow in Arizona!
