Riding on the train in VIA’s first class means only one thing, by the time you get to your destination, your drunk.  And it’s no wonder, with the endless supply of double and triple Ceaser’s!   Knowing that you have an endless supply of booze coming, helps detract from the poor customer service that you receive at check in.  I kid you not, we were 3 people in line (2 ahead of us) and we stood in that line for a good 25 minutes!  I mean, we were just checking in, it’s not like the woman sitting behind the counter was thrown into a new situation that she knew nothing about.  Checking people in is her job, it’s what she does, what’s the hold up?!  Eventually, a man walked up to her, also an employee, and they started having a conversation.  In situations like this, I often like to single people out who are out of earshot and imagine what they are saying to eachother.  In this case, I decided their conversation went something like this (I also assigned them names):

Carlos “What’s the trouble?”

Candace “This lady is trying to check in… and I… I’m completely stumped.”

Carlos “What’s the reservation number?”

Candace “The….?”

Carlos “The reservation number!  You did ask for the reservation number didn’t you?”

Candace gives a blank stare

Carlos “Candace, you’ve been with us for 25 years, these are the basics of check in!!”

Candace “Carlos if you’re not going to help, then I’ll just sit here and stare blankly at the screen.”

Their imaginary conversation over, the man I had given the name  “Carlos” walked away from her, and past us.  As he passed I glanced down at his name tag.  It read CARLOS!!!  I shit you not!!  I couldn’t help it, when we finally got up to the front of the check in counter I had to ask the woman “Is your name Candace?”  It wasn’t, that would be too good to be true!

The rest of the weekend I spent with my face buried in my boyfriend’s ass…. SLURP!!!

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes Micky’s in West Hollywood is ready to resume it’s position as an L.A. gay destination and the home of our beloved ‘Cocktails with the Stars’.  Micky’s holds a special place in my heart.  When I was a sprig of a boy, new to L.A., it was Micky’s that took me in.  Every Happy Hour I served a delicious buffet of pizza, salads and pasta stuffs to hungry and horny patrons as they ogled the gyrating go go boys.  My go go break came one day when someone didn’t show up for work.  Up I went, on a go go box to shake it for all of West Hollywood to see.  I became a regular fixture as a Micky’s go go boy until Chi Chi LaRue spotted me dancing one Thursday night during a steamy sexy ‘Cocktails’ session.  Next thing I know, I’m strokin’ it online for Live & Raw.  Chi Chi knew she had something good and signed me as a Rascal Video Exclusive.  I graced the ‘Cocktails’ stage a few times with Jason Sechrest at the helm.  But a new era is dawning.  With Scott Boardman grabbing the reins, Micky’s and ‘Cocktails with the Stars’ are back in full frontal force, and this porn star couldn’t be happier!!

The GayVN Awards are held annually to celebrate the cream of the crop of the gay adult entertainment industry.  And it’s nice to know I’ve still got it!  The script I wrote for Chi Chi LaRue’s Rascal Video entitled “Unknown” was up for 3 awards, including 1 for myself for BEST SCREENWRITER.  I wait until the morning after the awards to check for any news. What is it with homos?  Who’s steering the pornship?  Is no one at the helm?  Stop partying long enough to get that cock out of your mouth and post the winners names online for the rest of us to see!  Not that winning is all that important, it is truly an honour just being nominated.  When it comes down to picking the winner, too often politics get in the way.  But hey, I’m not complaining, it may have been just that, politics, that lead to my double win as BEST NEWCOMER in 2005 at the GayVN & the Grabby Awards.  Awards aside, after many successful years in L.A., I’m back home in Toronto, relaunching my website www.eddiestonexxx.ca, and anxious to show the world how fuckin’ sexy Canadian men really are!
