iHole - Performance 8; Las Mananitas - Restaurant 24; Fun Fact 15


Last week we joined a bunch of the girls at a Gayco production of iHole at a theatre in the (LGBT) Center on Halsted. We started out with a fantastic margarita and pretty good fajitas at Las Mananitas. I've heard margaritas called truth serum and having tasted this powerful version I can certainly understand why! After dinner we staggered over to the Center for a great comedy show by a local gay themed troupe whose skits (the titles of which were presented on a giant iPod screen) addressed everything from Jane Addams' sexuality to the trails and tribulations of dealing with aging parents. Great company, tasty drink, fun performance. All in all, a pretty good night!

Fun Fact: according to the Urban Dictionary, an iHole is someone who ignores you pretending not to hear you because they have ear buds in, or somewho who thinks they're a bad ass on line. Hmm. Wonder which one they were thinking of when they named the show?
