"; k i-d_ir {,_it :t- IIIrlll-S~ML_± A. IFClDtln:)(IDrnIPIPn ClDU WC6lli BY CHRIS GRAY elcome back to another edition of SURFING THE NET, where we whisk you off on an adventure through the universe of , the world wide web (with gay topics mostly in our orbit). We've been surfing to some great sites this summer, so let's get started with one that's almost out of this world, with TWT'S famed astrologer, Charlene Lichtenstein, at www.AccessNewage. com/stargayzer. Madame Lichtenstein has a section on gay love signs at this site, an astrological interpretation of the Stonewall Riots, astrological terminology and, of course, all those great horoscopes for you. So check it out. Your future may just be revealed. Another revealing site was submitted by a loyal reader, and it's called Muffin's Place, featuring those luscious eastern European Bel Ami Video hunks at http://muffin.hitmen.com.This has both "g" and "x-rated" photos, so make sure you're an adult to enter this site. The links section in this locale is reason enough to surf on over if you're an aficianado of those young "thangs" that appear in the Bel Ami Videos. It has virtually every biography and website there is for the likes of the famous Lukas Ridgston, Johan Paulik and popular favorite, Dano Sulik! Another reader in Austin wanted us to tell you about a website for Adventuring Outdoors, a gay and lesbian organization for the outdoor enthusiast based in Austin. Hike on over to their web address at www.main.org/adventuring. For a familiar Texas face, check out The Billy Stark Page at www.manboy.com/billy_stark. I think this Billy Stark was once a coverman from TWT, but I'm not altogether sure. For you shopaholics, there's plenty on the net and some right here in Texas, such as at Zebraz, www.zebraz.com. that claims to be "the World's Largest Gay & Lesbian Department Store By Mail, via W PAGE 14 §na®~ Online." With over 5,000 items to offer, that's a pretty good sized store to fit inside your computer! And of course, we went to Basic Brothers in Houston during Pride Weekend, and wanted to remind you of their website at www.basicbrothers.com for some of the best clubwear anywhere. They also have some great ideas for Halloween every year, and that's right around the corner. Another gay-friendly Houston business you should be sure to check out is Bruce Godwin's record store the Record Rack, or you can pop in on them at their website at www.recordrack.com that features new releases, their top 10 sellers, dozens of photos of cool groups like Depeche Mode plus you can even buy concert tickets from them or link to Ticketmaster. Thanks for telling us about it Bruce (and I did buy a hard-to-find CD at the store when I was down for the Pride Parade in June!). For even more clubwear (but out of the Texas orbit), try California Muscle's online catalog at www.californiamuscle.com. that features just the most incredibly drop-dead gorgeous hunks modeling skimpy skivvies and more. Surfing even further to one of my favorite places, Amsterdam, try www.gayplanet.nl. They have the best that Amsterdam stores have to offer to the gay shopper, with a huge selection of goodies, from books and videos to items for those who like the scent of leather in the air. Speaking of Amsterdam and leather, Mr. B's leather shop at www.mrb.nl. is a great place to visit while you're moving that mouse around. Be sure to check out Hans and the other staffers at this must-see stopping place in Amsterdam and on the net. Strand Video, offering some of the best small, independent films (with many having gay themes), is up on the web and has an excellent site at www.strandrel.com/ video where you can find out what's coming to your local cinema or purchase videos from previously released movies. We found some great health sites for you, and we'll lead off with one our unoffiTWT JULY 31 - AUGUST 61998 cial medical adviser Rex, the Medicine Woman, told us about. The 12th World AIDS Conference's Official Site is at www.aids98.ch where you can read just about all the information that was discussed at this important conclave held in Geneva, Switzerland throughout the end of June. Next, we spin into the orbit of former Texan Thom Collins' AIDS organization, Open Your Heart, accessed at www.open yourheart.org/thomcollins. This site will inform you about Thom's fight with HIV for over 15 years and the work his organization is doing to help others with this disease. From there you can go to an incredible HIV/AIDS site, www.smartlink.net/ -martinjh which includes extensive links to AIDS information, regional groups, mailing lists, commercial products, clinical trials, medications, social security disability and HIV/AIDS information. It also has alternative medicine links for HIV. It's a huge site that deserves to be looked at if you need info on the subject. Poz Magazine is another great resource for those looking for information on HIV, and you can reach them on the web at www.poz.com. their current issue or for past issues. They also have an excellent links section to helpful organizations dealing with this health crisis. Hungry after surfing so much? Try Texas Cooking Magazine's online website, www.texascooking.com. for great recipes and articles on cooking with that special Texas flare. They also have included reviews of cookbooks, info on Texas wines and a links section in this site. Next, we hit the afterburners, blasted into unchartered web space and landed in what is called a webring that we thought was interesting. All sorts of "rings" have sprung up on the web, and these allow websites of similar interests to link themselves together (leather enthusiasts have one, skinheads have one and so forth), so we naturally had to see where the Escort ring took us. One place we landed was www.pantsdown.com. where escorts from all over the United States advertise in these pages, with some nice pics and everything. This page enables you to surf for almost forever to other escort pages in this country or even internationally. There's also www.vegasmen.com. that lists dozens of porn stars waiting to escort you to your favorite spot. And one spot we liked ending up is Alec Powers' personal web- site, at www.alecpowers.com. A porn star and international playboy and, of course, escort, he has some revealing pies, But will he take a Discover Card? For some great downloading sessions with some hot pies, try these places (and once again, they're adult in nature, so 18 and over please): First, surf on over to www.guyzclub.com/tt. but you'll need Mancheck Adult Verification Service to access this place. If your tastes run south of the border, there are tons of hot looking latino men's pies for you to download at www.lamancha-video.com. For those who like Asian men, OG Magazine is a great place to start, and of course, they're on the net at www.ogusa.com. You can check out their current issue and even click on a few free pics. The home base for American Men's Network at www.ammen. net tells you about the recent Probe Awards (for porn movies). We also jetted over to, where else, The Gay Zone at www.gayzone.nu. where they have tons of sites to link your computer. Some of these are pay sites, so read the fine print boys and girls. "Come one - come all" ii'\ probably the Brotherhood's slogan, a private men's club in Dallas, and Mike wanted us to tell you they're up on the web at www.brohood.com, with some hot-looking models showing you their place and what you can do at it. It has "G" and "X-rated" pics to boot. Next on our world wide journey, we visited statuesque drag diva, Ru Paul, at her official site, www.rupaul.net. where you can find out the skinny on this pop icon. That's all for this issue. If you know of an interesting website, gay or non-gay, email me at [email protected], and we may just mention it in our next issue. Til, then, have fun surfing the web! THIS WEEK IN TEXAS assumes that every individual entering an adult website is over 18 and capable of making his or her own choices.

Bass Performance Hall. Architect David Schwarz mixed several elements of European concert halls when he designed the Bass, making it an ideal match for the grand theatrics of Phantom. Never before have the stagings of the operas-within-the-musical seemed so appropriate. The greatest triumph of this ultra-popular rock opera is that the touring production equals the incredible spectacle of the original Broadway run. Generally, when a show tours, it is altered and simplified to function in the more limited venues around the country. Scene after scene, this show delivers magnificently eye-popping special effects and unbelievable set changes which combine with gorgeous, decadent costumes. Many so-called theatre afficionados often criticize Webber's more commercialized style of musical, but you know what? Whatever he's doinq, it works. If I'm going to pay $50 or so to see a live performance, I want to be dazzled - and Phantom delivers from start to finish. Phantom begins with an auction, at Which the crystal chandelier from the Paris Opera House is being sold. The effects used to carry this chandelier from stage to ceiling grip you from the first scene of this amazing musical. The story then proceeds to the past as the legend of the Phantom Who haunted the halls of the Opera House unfolds. The phantom falls in love with Christine, one of the opera's chorus girls and becomes her "teacher" as he places her under his spell. A story of love and mystery, the musical garnished seven 1988 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Offering some stellar performances by the lead actors, Phantom proves it has as TiNT JULY 31 - AUGUST 61998 much to offer artistically as it does visually. In the lead role as the gruesome Phantom of the Paris Opera House, Brad Little demonstrates such versatility and jawdropping vocal range that it's no wonder he makes his captive women swoon. The Brad Little as The Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom Of The Opera in Fort Worth. Phantom is the kind of over-the-top role that actors would kill to get, and Little does it up big. His greatest numbers include the haunting techno driven "The Phantom of the Opera" and the beautiful "Music of the Night" as he lures the beautiful Christine to his underground labyrinth. As Christine, Amy Jo Arrington brings an exuberant innocence to the role, which really helps the believability in the second PAGE 23 BARDBA"'S8~ SUNDAY AUG 2,1998 Good Luck Pacific Street Terrors in the Atlanta World Series!

Her voice is crystal clear and delightfully sweet, note after note. Jason Pebworth portrays Raoul, a suitor from Christine's past who, despite his good looks, still finds it hard to compete with the allure of the masked one. Pebworth also equals Arrington and Little as far as presence, but unfortunately his role isn't quite as meaty as it could be. My personal favorite of the whole musical, however, is Julie Schmidt as Carlotta Giudicelli, the Paris Opera's resident diva. Every scene she's in is punctuated with the kind of sarcastic, bitchy humor that is such a joy to behold! In a more jaded version, Carlotta would be the object of the Phantom's obsession because she could rival him move for move and probably even turn the tables. Alas, that's not the way the world of good guys and bad guys works. Despite the dark theme of the musical, there are a few brighter numbers that keep it from being a non-stop Depressfest. "Masquerade" opens up Act Two as the kind of lavish, grandly choreographed numbers that make me wish people put on parties like this in real life. (Oh, never mind. I forgot about the gay Halloween street carnival in Dallas). "Notes/Prima Donna" also throws in a dash of lightheartedness in the midst of blackmail gone berserk. Overall, there are two things which everyone in the Metroplex should do once before they die: see Phantom of the Opera and attend a show at the phenomenal Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth. So it seems appropriate that you take this opportunity and accomplish both tasks at once. As the Phantom so eloquently beseeches, "That's all I ask of you." Phantom of the Opera, presented by Casa Manana, runs through August 22, Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. and Sunday evenings at 7:30 p.m. Additional performances are being held on Thursday, July 23, at 2 p.m., Thursday, August 20, at 2 p.m. and Monday, August 17, at 8 p.m. A special performance has been added for Monday, August 3, at 8 p.rn. benefiting the Actors' Fund of America, which provides financial assistance and social services for all entertainment industry professionals. Tickets for all performances range from $27 to $67 and are available at the Casa Manana Theatre box office, TicketMaster outlets or by calling Metro (972) 647-5700. ..w 713/523-0213 TWT JULY 31 - AUGUST 61998 Y ((I) is coming to G:alveston A 25 room Guesthouse 31st at Seawall The Island's First Gay Resort Opening Late Summer.

All cuts are from the last three albums listed above and were recorded during the almost magical sessions at Island's Compass Point, Bahamas studios. presented here are rare versions: previously unreleased on CD, previously unrelease~Jjits, or ~!JsIY~ leased songs. Yes, two songs by Grace Jones that have never ever been issued: "Ring Of Fire" (a Johnny Cash cover really) and the clever "Man Around The House." Most versions here are Opening In September! Grace Jonas: Madonna who? Precisely. Long before missy skipped over, to The Fun House from her Ave. C dump, Miss Jones ru.led dance floors worldwide. Armed with a' severely singular sense of style and delivery, Grace transcended the world of disco, elevating herself to stardom as her own electrltylnq work of art. And she let the planet have it. From the screw-you glamour of her Richard Bernstein-illustrated disco albums (Portfolio, Muse, Fame) to the paralyzing punch of her early '80's Jean Paul Goude-styled .(eggae-rooted masterpieces (Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing, Uving My ,\Ufe) , Grace Jones has always - always - served. Now, Island Records has released a double-serving of Grace in the form Of highly collectible Double CD package. Private Ufe: The Compass Point Sessions. Along with two 75+ minute CDs, comes a 22-page booklet which includes fascinating liner notes by Brian Chin and dozens of those famously indelible images.

What begins as an inspired rewrite ("she" becomes "I"), like a vise, steadily intensifies into sheer eye-popping madness, as Grace detonates in a crescendo of clawing, shrieking, mindlessly repeating choruses. Very H.P. Lovecraft. And like this collection, very memorable and'\Lery much what Grace Jones has alwayS-been about: art.

The event, which raised $300,000 for AmFAR, brings the total for these sellout galas to almost $2 million. Opening up the evening, acclaimed singer Lois Walden warmed up the Arena Theater creating a fabulous beginning for a grand evening. Former anchorman and President of Stonefilms of Texas, Inc., Ron Stone, kept up with the pace as emcee for the evening. Also on hand for the fundraising gala was special guest, actress Sigourney Weaver. The success of the evening is due to all Houstonians who gave from the heart for the event, but the success can also be attributed to the kind donations of many. Barry Manilow, Lois Whalden and Sigourney Weaver, all provided their appearances at no charge. Arena Theater owners, Barry and Donna Morgan donated, for the fourth year, the use of their facility and overall production of the show. Tony Vallone underwrote the entire post-concert dinner party at his popular restaurant, Tony's, as he has for the past three years. Continental Airlines donated all flight arrangements for the stars and musicians, and the Luxury Hotel donated rooms for the headliners. Houston businesses showed the true spirit of giving as they bent over backwards to make sure the nuch needed funds were raised for such a worthy cause. The American Foundation for AIDS Research [AmFAR) is the nation's leading non-profit organization dedicated to the support of HIV/AIDS research. Funded by private philanthropic contributions, AmFAR has invested over $144 million in support for its programs, primarily through grants to more than 1,700 research teams since its founding in 1985. Some of the groups in Houston who have benefited from AmFAR funding have included Rice University, the Montrose Clinic, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Southern University, St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital and Houston Institute for the Protection of Youth.

Texas teams have always made us proud and plan to continue the tradition of excellence as they shine in Amsterdam. TEXAS LOSES FAVORITE COMEDIAN KEVINMAYE Famed Co-Creator of "The Gay Comedy Jam" Succumbs to AIDS HOUSTON - Kevin Wallace, who was known to many fans around the country as comedian Kevin Maye, finally lost his long and courageous battle with AIDS. Surrounded by his family and loved ones, Kevin died at his home in Houston this past Saturday, July 25. Kevin was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1963. He was the youngest child in a family including six sisters. His Catholic upbringing was one of many factors that formed his unique style of humor which was tasteful, sometimes political and always funny. His jokes are published alongside other great comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman in the book, That's Funny!, reviewed as "A compendium of over 1,000 great jokes from today's hottest comedians." Although a mid-western boy from the beginning, Kevin relocated to Houston after graduating from high school, and his love for Southern lifestyle took hold. He secured a job at a major oil and gas company where he worked for 12 years and attended college at night. He was soon labeled the "corporate comic" by his coworkers, as his jokes about the boss were appreciated. Comedy had always been a passion for him. Soon he found himself at one of the comedy clubs in Houston doinq "open-mic" TWf JULY 31 - AUGUST 6 1998 nights. After taking the stage one night he knew comedy was the job he wanted.' So In .1993, he boxed up the button-down shirts and neckties and left Corporate America to pursue a full time career as a professional stand-up comedian. His success as a stand-up comedian was apparent as he began touring the mainstream comedy club circuit. In 1994 he and his partner in life, comedian Scott Kennedy, formed The Gay Comedy Jam in an effort to spend more time together. The show allowed them to tour together and fill a void in the gay entertainment community. The Gay Comedy Jam soon became the standard in gay and lesbian entertainment and was the first and only all-gay stand-up comedy show to tour nationally. The success of The Gay Comedy Jam remains untouched, and The Hollywood Reporter named Kevin and Scott "the funniest and most successful gay comedians touring today." In 1996, Kevin decided to go public with the fact that he was HIV positive and was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS two years earlier. While still a sensitive subject even in the gay community, Kevin wanted to express his "out- i '\ , _ positive humor" as a way to show people that he, like so many others, was living with AIDS not dying from it. Kevin was one of only two comics to talk about being HIV positive and was the only comic to record a CD with his HIV positive I material included in The Gay Comedy Jam Live! He was a favorite performer at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas and was the featured guest on many television shows such as The Bradshaw Difference and Network-Q. Kevin is survived by his life partner Scott Kennedy, his mother Ann Wallace, his sisters Christine Grado, Vikki Beaty, Kathy White, Diane Wallace, Sharon Croom, Linda Rosas, brother Louis Wallace and many nieces and nephews. "Kevin signed all his autographs one way .. .'Here's to Life, Love and Laughter!'," explained Kevin's partner, Scott. "I believe he was rich in all three." ~ IS T , PAGE 61 Ranting&. ~/ by Jeffrey L.

My beverage of choice: 7-Up over ice in a highball glass with a splash of Pepsi. (The Kindergartner's scotch and soda.) And, cartoons were never really my bag either. While the neighborhood boys were eating up Speed Racer and Scooby Doo, I prefered to hunker in next to Mom and bite my nails over Perry Mason's latest case or swap tid-bits about Love of Life with her card club friends. So, as an adult, I've enjoyed living out all the simple childhood pleasures I passed on in pursuit of being the Mary Tyler Moore of Horace Mann Elementary School. Thankfully, the creators of South Park have created a charming animated series that satisfies my latent cartoon needs and appeals to my inherent sick and twisted nature. Those of you unfamiliar with the series should make the effort. Set in a small burb in Colorado, the show's feature characters are a clique of insightful school children with foul mouths and a propensity for in sighting chaos and controversy. Recent episodes have tackled illiteracy, beastiality, police brutality, circumcision TWT JULY 31 - AUGUST 6 1998 ~, r ..··/, ' jj.lI··~ , w .;i %,/Y t/ t $) /~:-.. <:(/ and drug abuse (effectively marrying the quaintness of Fat Albert with the production values of Jerry Springer). In fact, I'll go so far as to say that you really haven't lived until you've seen a cartoon which has been bleeped for cussing, embalmed photos: ©Comedy with Worcestershire sauce and/or has adopted an Ethiopian via the US mail and renamed him Starvin' Marvin. Comedy Central airs the series weekly on Wednesday evenings and prefaces each episode with a disclaimer warning consumers to ignore any similarities to actual events. Chances are, you'll not encounter that scenario (unless, of course, your friends are murdered, daily, by sorely unconventional means and your mother appears on the cover of Crack Wh''''e Magazine ...you'll just have to watch). So, this Wednesday, grab the milk and Oreos and settle in for some regressive childhood enjoyment.

Evident up front was the energy and talents of the entire ensemble, from the cashier to the lights to the producer and director. They pulled out all the stops, and they have scarcely paused for breath since, giving Houston theatergoers Godspell, Torch Song Trilogy, Pterodactyls, Nunsense /I and DA. And all this while including a major move last spring to their new and expanded location at 1537 North Shepherd. Now they're entering their second season with their summer musical, Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and once again, they've nailed it. This dark musical from Stephen Sondheim, a composer known for this type of musical, is arguably one of the darkest. And musically, it's one of the most difficult. Vocal requirements run the gamut from baritone to coloratura soprano, with every shading in between. This score is not for the fainthearted. And that's what makes it perfect for Masquerade. There are few - very few - small theaters I would trust with this material, but Director Phillip Duggins and Musical Director Andrew Dixon, along with a superb cast, are definitely up to it. The story (briefly) is that of Benjamin Barker, a barber in early nineteenth-century London, whose life and family are ruined by a corrupt judge. Barker is transported to Australia, and returns after years to find his wife gone and his daughter the ward of the very judge who sentenced him. Taking the name of Sweeney Todd, Barker sets out to revenge himself. Back in the old neighborhood, Sweeney hooks up with Mrs. Lovett, the proprietor of Mrs. Lovett's Famous Pies, the worst meat pies in London. Business is bad; times are hard, and together she and Sweeney devise the perfect plan to obtain his revenge and give her business a push at the same time. What follows are plot twists, adventure, romance, comedy and a series of appallingly immoral goings on, all set to the haunting music of Sondheim, and it makes for a riveting evening. Several of the cast you may recognize if you've been a regular of Masquerade, and if you haven't, you should be. Brent Smith I TWT JULY 31 - AUGUST 6 1998 IJNSIJI~i\I{J\ln .l.~i\{~'I'S SIIINI~IN ~1i\S(lIJI~lli\nI~'S ~ln}~~~f 'r(m~ acquits himself admirably as Anthony, suitor to Sweeney's daughter, Johanna. Melissa O'Connell, as the insane Beggar Woman, mixes poignancy with the abandoned lewdness her character requires, and Amy Ross as the boy Tobias is touching and sprightly. Gina Nespoli-Holmes does Mrs. Lovett (a role originated on the Broadway stage by Angela ••••. _ Lansbury) to a turn. I • Making her debut with Masquerade is Sarah Wuensche, as Johanna. With a voice that reaches for the sky, Wuensche plays the somewhat melodramatic Victorian ingenue without a false note. Her blonde frailty makes a perfect picture of the heroine faced with circumstance worse than death. Also new to Masquerade is L. 1< .. ,.,$;:::>;; • L. Jay Meyer, as Sweeney. In L. Jay Meyer as Sweeney addition to a vocally _1i_u'.:....p'_n.}:...demanding role, he must also play that most difficult of heroes, a thoroughly evil man. In the end, the audience, who knows the unspeakable things he has done, has in fact seen him do them, must still care about him. And they do. Rounding out the principals are Jim Williams as Judge Turpin, David W. Jones as The Beadle, Troy Menn as Pirelli, and Jeremy Pierce as Fogg. It's difficult to choose a favorite scene from this production, but if I had to, I'd say it was worth the price for Sweeney's and TWT JULY 31 • AUGUST 6 1998 REVIEWED BY GARY LAIRD Mrs. Lovett's comic duet, "A Little Priest." It's delicious. Musically, Johanna's "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" is marvelous, and then there's the strangely haunting "Pretty Women," an unlikely duet with Sweeney and Judge Turpin. While these titles may not exactly be household words, I think you may recognize them when you hear them. At any rate, once you hear them, you'll remember them. Once again, a small theater has triumphed over space to give the audience a thoroughly satisfying experience. Amy Ross, doubling as set designer, has creat- !, ,,_ I Todd (L) brings his razor down upon Jim Williams (Judge _ ed a remarkable revolvinq set, integral to the play, and costume and makeup are skillfully accomplished. So go spend an evening with Sweeney, Mrs. Lovett and the denizens of Fleet Street. You'll have a disturbingly good time.

Concerns Vince Urias and Jay Combs CO-Owners, Club Fictxions Odessa, TX Dear TWT, At the beginning of this month, Friday night of July Fourth Weekend, patrons of Club Fixtions in Odessa, saw the police force take a strange turn. About 10:30 p.m., with about 10 people in the bar, they came in and said that their search was "just routine." At 1:45 a.m., the police decided to take up camp in an adjacent alley with five police cars. The police started to approach every person that came out of the bar. After getting through with the Friday night drag show, the bar owners explained to the audience that it was safer for everyone not to exit the building until the blockade left. At 2:15 a.m., the police cars were joined by more officers. An informal vote was taken over the microphone in the bar about the city's fireworks display for which the club has allowed its parking lot to be used as the launch site for the past two years. In a tense moment, the bar patrons decided that they did not want their bar used to assist with the city'S fireworks display (which attracts a crowd of an estimated 15,000 people). At almost 2:30 a.m., we met with the police officers and explained to them that they were jeopardizing the place used as the city's fireworks launch site. One officer explained that if we impeded his authority anymore, that we were going to jail. A city police supervisor had to call the police officers away and have them leave their "camp." Saturday, July 4, a fair compromise was reached and the fireworks were launched as planned, but the gay and lesbian community of Odessa woke up. We have had enough, and we are tired. It's bad enough when they come storming into your bar, but when they won't leave the street so they can make their holiday quotas ... enough is enough. There are iVvr JULY 31 - AUGUST 6 1998 AIDS Resource Center Hot Atea/s Program Dear TWT, I have been a client of the Dallas AIDS Resource Center and Hot Meals Program for nearly four years, and I want to commend the staff for all of the hard work and effort they do contributing to our nourishment needs. I know it must be a very difficult and tiring job to cook for the masses on a daily basis. I also, though, want to admonish the clients who go there everyday, pile more food 0;:1 their plate than they can eat and the audacity to come in at the close of serving hour, dawdle over their food and then complain about the quality of the food and the harried staff. They leave the tables in great disarray and treat the dining room as a grocery store taking pockets full of sugar, sweetener, napkins and even some flatware! The people who work there have lives outside of their jobs, and there are several clients who could care less about anyone or anything other than themselves. We have to realize that eating at the Dallas AIDS Resource Center Hot Meals Program is a privilege, and not a Godgiven right. If you don't like the food or the way the establishment is operated, go to a commercial restaurant and pay for your food rather than moan and groan about the free food. Once again, thank you AIDS Resource Center there are those of us who care and appreciate what you do for us. -Name and address withheld by request. ~ PAGE 67 DALLAS TEA - Here's what's happening THIS WEEK IN DAllAS from Big D Hot Tea.
