"music playing"
I come to the Fantasy of Lights to have a good time.
All these floats are really well-made and I come with my friends to come hang out and
just have a good time for Christmas, you know.
"music playing"
"clapping"
Also really like the Peter Pan theme.
I like the castle too and the ferris wheel and then Santa comes, I mean he's busy, so
we're privileged to have him come on this night.
Ya, it's pretty cool.
"music"
To look at lights and talk to people.
Really, were just here to talk to people.
It's so fun!
We just love talking to people.
So we're here.
Because that's where the people are. Ya!
"Cinderella music"
"MSU Band music"
I've been going to this event since I was a little kid, because I grew up here in Wichita Falls.
So this has been a big part of my childhood ever since I was little.
It's like a Christmas tradition for my family.
Sometimes it's interesting cause they'll bring in a new light or a new little display, like
the Toy Story one was new.
I know that came in like a couple of years ago, so it's always fun to come back and see
if any of them are new.
But, really its kind of like a nostalgic feeling of coming here with my family.

VAVS Veteran Volunteers: What's Your Why? - Duration: 4:26.
Henry: When I started volunteering,
I was a little concerned about, if I'm gonna start this,
I want to be able to do it on a regular basis.
It became evident to my friends, to my family --
if you're looking for Henry on Tuesday,
he'll be at the V.A. hospital.
Brad: About three years ago, my dad had passed away.
I'm not really an emotional person,
but I started sleeping in more and probably getting depressed,
but not realizing it.
And my wife was volunteering at the V.A.,
and she encouraged me to get out there and volunteer.
♪♪
There's good people in this world.
We see a lot of negativity through news and social media,
but there are good people out there doing good things,
and I'm a witness to that every single day.
I get to the V.A. about 9:00 in the morning,
review my assignment of how many Veterans I need to see.
Mandy: Brad's one of our great volunteers
in our Heroes Welcome program, and he's one of the leads.
And what that program is is Veterans serving Veterans.
We go in, and we talk to them, see how they're doing,
and anything we can do to make their stay better.
Is there anything we can do for you while we're here?
♪♪
Mr. Frank and Buddy are both Veterans,
and they volunteer on the same day, the same shift.
Henry: We help move patients throughout the hospital.
[ Telephone rings ]
Veteran's Hospital.
Mr. Frank's been here for, gosh, a lot of years.
He's here four days a week volunteering with us.
Henry: He probably has 15,000 to 17,000 volunteer hours.
And I think I'm coming up on 800.
You can't put a price tag on what they're doing.
You can't put a dollar value on a volunteer
holding a Veteran's hand.
It's not about me.
It's about the Veteran in the hospital bed,
it's about what other people are going through.
I said, "Now that I'm retired,
I want to give back," like a lot of people,
say "I will help lift these Veterans up."
I didn't get a chance to go to Vietnam, you know.
Your invitation got lost in the mail, huh?
Yes, sir.
I kept noticing every time when I would leave to come home,
I thought, you know, I feel better than I did
when I got there.
So it worked both ways.
♪♪
I was doing a media escort.
As we were leaving Baghdad, we were on a C-17,
which we know that's a very large aircraft.
And it just hit me right at that moment as I'm watching them
load stretcher after stretcher of these men and women
who are wounded of just how very blessed I was.
At the moment, I decided that when I retired,
that I wanted to work at the V.A.,
and I wanted to help take care of Veterans.
Being around other Vets gave me a sense of purpose.
And it's really quick to make friends
because we went through similar experiences.
I've had the pleasure of having a family
in more than one area.
The relationship with Frank
started through the V.A. hospital.
Buddy and Mr. Frank, they've just connected as Veterans,
and also as people who wanted to help serve other Veterans.
So with Frank, I made the observation
that he was taking a bus home.
It's only, like, eight or nine miles,
but it takes an hour and a half, three different buses.
I said, "I'm headed your way. Would you like a ride home?"
Mr. Frank would never ask anyone for anything.
Henry: And he said, "Oh, Henry, I would love it.
It would save me a lot of time."
So every time I go that way,
I would give him a lift.
Thought it was a way I could help out a fellow volunteer
to get home without having to ride three buses
for an hour and a half.
Buddy's just a wonderful person
and just wanted to do that for a fellow Vet.
It becomes part of my routine.
It's part of what I do now.

What is FTP? | GoDaddy - Duration: 1:58.
Hi there!
In this video, you'll learn what FTP is?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.
What's a protocol?
A protocol is a set of rules used by computers that are connected, or networked together,
which specify how the computers communicate or interact with one other.
There are a variety protocols that manage interactions at various levels in the networked
computing environment we know as the Internet.
For example, some Internet protocols are used to govern how data is exchanged between two
computers, or hardware devices, while other protocols dictate how data is exchanged at
the application, or software level.
FTP is a protocol that computers on the internet use to transfer files to and from one another.
If you're developing a website, FTP is a critical part of the process.
FTP enables you upload your website files from your computer to a hosted web server,
so that your site is can be viewed on the internet.
The best way to make use of FTP is through an FTP client.
An FTP client is a software application that offers a simplified way to log into a server,
navigate between folders, and move files to and from the server.
FTP clients also allow you upload multiple files at once, which can be helpful if you're
uploading a lot of files at once… say like a website.
There are many different stand-alone FTP clients in prices that range from free to more than
a hundred dollars.
GoDaddy supports the free FTP client, Filezilla.
Is your GoDaddy hosting account set up?
Are your website files ready to go?
Consider downloading an FTP client first to make the upload process quicker and easier!

Max, Author Part 1 - What I do and how much I make - Duration: 12:17.
I'm Max Gladstone, I'm a novelist, I make about
$48,000 a year.
So I write fantasy novels, I write games, I write
short fiction and a little bit of non-fiction
and blogging and things like that.
The fantasy novels are set in the world of The Craft
which is sort of a modern fantasy universe.
So in Game of Thrones you have these kind of very
medieval fantasy universe in which there are kings
and dukes and things that are marching around with
armies on horseback.
In The Craft sequence you have developed modern cities
you have gods that have shareholders committees
and you have wizards that operate kind of like lawyers
signing arcane contracts with eldritch entities and
that sort of thing.
And I've written a couple of games that are also
set in that universe, I've also written a couple of
unrelated serial pieces of short fiction so
that's in collaboration with a bunch of other writers
we all get in the same room and figure out characters
and situations and then we plot out a series of
short pieces that'll follow through a sort of season
of television.
So there are really two different sections of your job
when you are a professional writer.
One of them is some friends of mine called writing
and the other one they'll refer to as authoring
pretty often.
Writing is just everything that's involved in creating
a piece of art.
You sit down at a table with a cup of coffee or whatever
caffeinated beverage strikes your fancy,
and you create a story.
You plan it, you do the line by line writing,
you do the coding if you're writing game.
You put a script together if you're making a
television series or a play or you just write the
sentences one after the other if you're writing a
book or a piece of short fiction and that takes
about half of my time.
Generally I'll get to a coffee shop at about 8:30,
nine in the morning, after walking my wife to the subway
and sit down and open my computer and start work
and I'll go until lunch and it's generally 12:30 or one.
Most writers I know, not everyone but most writers I know
have about four hours and change of peak creative
productivity in them in the course of a day.
And that's time you're just sitting down and
grinding on the thing.
Some people take that all at once, that's the way
that I do it I'll go for the deep dive and
then come back up.
Some people spread them out over the course of a day
it's really a question of whatever fits your lifestyle
and whatever fits your work.
After that's done, there's all of the other stuff
that you have to do as a professional writer.
In my case, that means staying on top of correspondence
with my publisher, with my agent, with other partners
if I'm working on a collaborative project or if I'm
working on a work for hire thing, or for a piece of video
where I'm only one piece of a larger creative puzzle.
So staying on top of all of that, behind the scenes
collaboration and then there's public facing work.
These days writers are expected to be responsible
for a lot more of their marketing, publicity efforts,
obviously publishers do a good amount of that work
but then you're working with the publisher to make
sure your efforts aren't going across purposes
which adds another layer of coordination and then you
have to be a little bit public facing.
Some people do this in different ways.
Some of that's social media, I spend probably too much time
on Twitter and some of that's directly promotionally
useful or interacting with fans useful and some of it's
for my own personal entertainment.
You stay on top of email that's coming in from fans
and try to plan larger scale business things.
What you want to do next with your career,
where you want to go.
And then there's the level of authoring that's just
figuring out how you're going to get to the place
you need to be.
There's a convention six weeks from now that I've
agreed to go to, do I have the plane tickets,
do I have the hotel reservation, am I splitting a room
with somebody or not, have I actually told this person
that I'm going to do that, so all the logistics.
And some writers at various stages in their career
will hire a personal assistant to help with the logistics
that's not the place that I'm at right now, but
some of that stuff you really never can offload.
You're always going to be fielding questions about
your business, trying to run and build it and
that will always be something that's in tension with
the actual creative part of the job.
So money is a touchy question in the publishing world,
especially money for writers specifically.
There's this vision of the starving artist as somebody
who's like, tuberculotic in a garret somewhere,
can't afford heat, coughing into a rag and desperately
scrawling out words of genius.
And this is a dangerous and problematic way to
think about doing art.
I mean even if you look at some of the great writers of
the last two, three hundred years, these are people
who did their peak artistic work even if they had
some period of living a van or a garret or something
a lot of their peak artistic work was done after reaching
a level of security.
Writers don't write well when they're hungry.
So it is really important to be thinking about
where the money's coming from and where's it going.
Writing's also starting a small business and that's
the thing that I think trips a lot of people up.
You're going into business as a sole proprietor,
of you LLC you are not going to get any loans to start
the business, you're not going to get any venture money.
And probably if you're into a writer, you have spent
a lot of time making stuff up, making cool stories,
and that sort of technical skill is something that
you have an enormous amount of expertise at,
but the business side is maybe a place where you'll
lag behind a little bit and publishing is it's own
separate universe of business even from working in
tech or working in law, working in a lot of different
professional fields.
So all of that said,
money as a writer can come from a lot of different sources.
Novels are generally, novels that are published with
traditional publishing, through traditional publishing
pay you in advance, which is basically a down payment
on the royalties that you will eventually earn from
the book having been published.
And that advance is against some percentage of the
cover price or the publisher's take home price of
the book that gets published as a unit either as
an electronic unit or as a physical unit.
The advance is if you're publisher is reputable,
the advance is non-refundable.
So at the very least, even if no books sell,
you get to keep however many thousand dollars the
publisher gave you for the advance, provided that
you deliver to them a book that they can then sell.
So the advance money when you're starting out is
what most authors are taking home.
This means that the early stages of your writing career
are going to be, unless you're sort of a sport,
unless you've had a really excellent first deal,
or unless things go surprisingly for you,
you're going to be at you're leanest in your first
year or two after publication.
If the book does reasonably well, I'm not saying
explodes into bestseller stardom status, but if it does
well enough to keep you working,
at some point you're going to earn out your advance
on that book and what that means is the royalties
that you've sold which will generally be you can
think about it as like a dollar or a couple dollars
per copy of book sold,
will close out the however many thousand dollar advance
that you earned initially.
After that, you have a passive income stream,
and that's where publishing starts to get
kind of interesting as an author.
Even if your books aren't in New York Times Bestseller
categories, if you have enough books that have earned out
and they stay in print and they keep selling,
you start adding up these checks that are going to come
in with no further work on your part.
Also you have as an author, your subsidiary rights to sell.
The big ticket ones of those are movie and television rights
and some people get their series made or get their
big movie made and then that's what they're eating on
for the rest of their lives.
But a lot of people make a little bit of money
selling options to works that they publish.
Hollywood is generally pretty hungry for content
and it's really excited to talk to people about
cool new stories that they've written.
So you can make a certain number of thousands of dollars
selling options for a year or two years to a studio,
to a screenwriter who might then try to adapt and
sell that story.
But there are also translations into foreign languages,
a lot of people make a lot of their money off of that.
And then if you've sold a translation into a foreign
language you'll also eventually maybe get royalties
off of that so you have all of these different
ways that money's coming in just off of a traditionally
published book.
Last year about a third of my income was passive,
and two thirds of my income were active.
And that shifts around from year to year
depending on what projects I'm doing,
or depending on when major deals come down the pike
so sometimes you'll sign a contract for many books
at once and there will be a large on-signing percentage
of that contract, so frequently advances are broken off
into three chunks, at least in my experience.
There will be a chunk that you get paid on the signing
of the deal, there's a chunk you get paid on the
submission of the manuscript, and then the chunk you get
paid on the publication of the manuscript.
So if you sign a decently sized deal, then in that year
you'll get paid the on-signing chunk of the contract
for whatever books you're working on, plus whatever
books you delivered that year plus whatever books
you published and then you have your royalty income
which is always growing.
You're getting a sense maybe as I'm talking about this
that writing income is often in flux,
and this is absolutely true.
One of the real dangers of this job is the income
is very spiky, you get royalty payments twice a year.
You get your advances for new contracts whenever
those come up, and there may be a lag between
agreeing on the general shape of a deal and having
a final hammered out contract.
So it's not uncommon for deals to take weeks to negotiate
and if you're the kind of person who really needs
that paycheck to come in every two weeks in order to make
your budgeting and your process work, then this can
be a very dicey business to be involved in.
Once the passive income reaches a certain dependable level
then you start being able to ease up on that.
That's kind of the way it works and then there's
a lot of growth potential both as passive income increases
and as you sell more books and become more of a recognized
face and can argue for larger advances.

5 Dress Shoes Every Man Must Have - What Leather Shoes To Buy - Which Ones To Purchase First - Duration: 10:52.
Welcome back to Gentleman's Gazette!
In today's video, we will discuss five dress shoes that every man should have.
When you start a wardrobe, versatility is key because every item has to work with one
another.
That way, you get the most possible combinations with the fewest items in your wardrobe which
save you money.
Of course, the same is true for shoes.
Over the years, I have acquired quite a collection of shoes and today, I have probably several
dozens in my collection, however, when I started at zero, things were quite a bit different.
I remember being lured into buying a pair of the Lottusse Goodyear welted dress shoes,
they were black, and I thought it was a staple and after all, they were Goodyear welted when
they were on sale.
The problem was their sole was extremely stiff so it was very uncomfortable to walk in them
and they were also a little on the big side but I thought I was getting a deal and so
I bought them more importantly stylistically, they were kind of odd because they were a
derby shoe which is more casual than an oxford and they were wingtips with full broguing.
At the same time, they were black in color so it was really hard to combine them and
I ended up not wearing them so it was a really poor investment.
The goal of this video is to keep you from making the same mistakes I did.
Over the years, I learned a lot about shoes and if I could do it all over again, these
would be the five men's dress shoe styles I will invest
in.
First, by the way, all of the shoes you can see here are from Ace marks, a supplier of
handcrafted Italian men's dress shoes and I liked them because they are hand burnished
and they provide a really good value under $300.
I've had their shoes in my closet from the beginning and I liked them quite a bit because
they fit me extremely well for an off direction.
Are those the best shoe money can buy?
Heck no but they provide an awesome value that you won't find otherwise in this price
category.
So without further ado, here are the five men's dress from Styles that you should invest
in.
One, the black oxford.
Why should you invest in this shoe?
It's an all-time classic, especially as a captoe.
You can wear it for business, you can wear it to the funeral, and you can wear it for
any kind of formal event out there.
Also, unlike brown, black comes just in one shade and so you don't have to invest in dozens
of black shoes but one is really a staple that you must have.
So how do you wear a black oxford?
You can wear it with two-piece suits, three-piece suits, particularly in navy, charcoal, and
grey, and any kind of other business appropriate suit.
It's also good with blazers, maybe a navy blazer with gray flannel slacks or you can
wear it with your tuxedo for Black Tie events, your dinner jacket, alternatively, also for
white tie or for formal morning dress.
Probably the most popular black oxford is the Captoe Balmoral style without any form
of broguing, however, if I could just invest in one pair,
I'd go with the black oxford whole cut because it's very neat all around, there are no seams,
no extra captoes, no broguing, and because of that, you can wear it even with the most
formal ensembles such as white tie.
A whole cut is called that way because it's made from one piece of leather.
If you go with bespoke models, sometimes you'll find a piece that has zero seams off the Reg
models always have one seam and it's in the back so it's very subtle and it's a very clean
silhouette that works for classic stylish people, as well as minimalists alike.
With a black whole cut Oxford, make sure you avoid the medallion on the tip of the shoe
that way, you can truly wear it for all occasions that are formal.
This Ace Marks model whole cut has five eyelets which is very classic and an elegant long
last with a timeless round toe.
The second shoe style I'd invest in if I started all over again
is the Brown Derby full brogue wingtip.
So why would I go with this shoe?
Well, first of all, a Derby is less formal than
an Oxford and to learn more about the differences of these two types, please check out this
video here.
The Derby has an open lacing system and because of that, it's more flexible so when your feet
are tired and they swell and get bigger, it's a more comfortable shoe than an Oxford.
Because of that, I like it for traveling.
I would choose a medium brown color such as this antique brown cognac from Ace Marks;
it's very versatile and because they are hand polished and hand burnished, you see different
shades of brown at the tip of the shoe than for example at the bottom.
The holes you can see in the shoe is called broguing and it just gives a shoe a much more
casual character.
To learn more about brogues history and why they're called that way, please check out
this in-depth guide here.
So how do you wear the brown wingtip Derby shoe?
Basically, you can combine it with anything you know with suits, sport coats, corduroys,
slacks, chinos, denim, you name it.
The third shoe style I'd invest in is a loafer.
Why a loafer?Well basically, it's a slip-on shoe, it's casual, it's an entirely different
style from the other two, yet it's a timeless classic.
It's really easy to dress up or down and they come in different variations; you can have
tassel loafers and sometimes people think they're old-fashioned yet you can
actually have them quite young looking and modern but if you don't like that, go with
a penny loafer because they're really classic and they're called that way
because you used to be able to put a little penny in the front opening.
For versatility, I'd go with a different shade in brown than you chose for your Derby wingtip.
Ideally, something maybe with a reddish undertone or something medium
brown, in any case, it's something different.
It's a great shoe for non formal outfits; you can also wear with seersucker, or in summer
maybe without socks and you should only avoid them with double-breasted suits basically.
I chose this model from Ace Marks in medium brown because it has a very nice patina in
the front, it has also a very nice last that hugs my foot in the middle and that way my
heel doesn't slip out when I walk which is extremely important because you don't have
a lace-up system that keeps things in place.
The fourth shoe style I'd invest in is a double monk strap in a reddish color because it's
very versatile, it's stylish, and it's young, and it's just different than all the other
shoes that you already have in your wardrobe at this point.
This model from Ace Marks comes in a brandy antique Brown which means it was hand polished
and hand burnished to achieve different color tones.
It's made on a very clean last, there's no broguing, no cap toes, and the buckles are
exactly in the right place and I find the shoe extremely attractive.
Unlike with black, with brown, you really want different shades of the same color even
though they're very similar because sometimes one shade pairs a lot better with a suit with
some pants than the other.
Because you are just starting out, make sure the new Brown tone of your shoe is different
than the ones you already have in your shoe closet.
So how should you wear it?
Well, you can go just with jeans, or with slacks, maybe polo shirts, some people even
just have a t-shirt, maybe sweaters, or cardigans, but it's also very good with a suit; either
a three-piece suit, two-piece suit or a sport coat combination.
If possible, get a belt in the same color and also try to get a buckle that matches
the color of the buckle on your double monks.
In this case, if you buy this Ace Marks double monk straps shoe, you can also get the matching
belt out of the same hand polished leather with a silver buckle so it's very easy you
always look very dapper.
The fifth shoe style I would invest in is a half brogue Oxford in a medium brown.
Here I have an aAce Mark shoe in a lighter antique tan which is once again different
than all the other brown tones in my wardrobe.
It has a captoe with nice broguing, a medallion, and it's less casual than the full wingtip
Derby shoe.
I'm adding it to the collection because it's kind of an in-between the more formal Oxford
and the more casual Derby.
It fits right in between because it doesn't have a wingtip but it has broguing, yet at
the same time, it's an Oxford and not a Derby.
I had a model like this and I wore it extensively when I was a student because it would always
go with everything I had at the time in my wardrobe.
So how should you wear it?
Basically, it's a super versatile shoe that you can wear with almost any suit.
It is dark enough to be worn to the office, it's brown enough to be worn with tweed, and
everything basically in between.
In my opinion, it's a great spring summer and fall staple and you can even wear it during
milder winters.
So if you invest in these five shoe styles, you truly have
an extremely versatile dress shoe closet and you can hold off with investments and maybe
invest in other parts of your wardrobe.
If you're interested in a quality shoe with a flexible sole made out of a soft Italian
leather, I urge you to take a look at Ace Marks because they really have the classic
styles in a very elegant medium with last that is very attractive timeless and it won't
break the bank.
in today's outfit, I'm wearing a custom-made three-piece houndstooth suit it's tailored
from a wool flannel from Harrison's it's a brownish gray with an off-white
or maybe a beige tone and because of that it's extremely versatile and can be worn with
all kinds of shoes my dress shirt is off-white and not quite white which works well with
the softer character of the flannel suit I'm wearing
it with a chartreuse green silk knit tie from Fort Belvedere and a woollen pocket square
with a silk blend likewise from Fort Belvedere I pick up the green color in the pocket square
and the purple and blue tones are picked up in my socks which are also from Fort Belvedere
and shadows tried to calm the shoes I'm wearing are double monk straps
from ACE Marks and I chose them in their brandy antique brown color which is nicely hand polished
and has a the reddish undertone to it such as it provides
a nice contrast to my pants as well as my socks I like how they burnish the tip of the
shoe so it's darker and it just has a more gradient look to it which is usually something
you only find in more expensive shoes because the ace marks double monks have silver buckles
I chose a pair of silver Monkey Fist cufflinks from Fort Belvedere so everything is harmonious
and works well together if you're interested in any of the shoes featured here in the video

CHAOS: Democratic Party on Verge of Collapse After What Pelosi Just Told Conyers to Do - Duration: 2:11.
Ever since Hillary Clinton lost the election of 2016, the DNC has been struggling to keep
itself from collapsing.
Nobody trusts them anymore, nobody loves them anymore, and nobody wants them anymore—but
after what just happened between Nancy Pelosi and Rep. John Conyers, their once beloved
party may be done for.
Over the past month we've seen dozens of sexual misconduct allegations leveled against
Democrats in this country, and most recently representative John Conyers of Michigan.
He's been accused of calling female staff into his office while he was in his underwear,
verbally abusing them, and more.
However, Nancy Pelosi, one of the Democrats' most beloved insiders, has now turned against
him, signalling a massive disruption within the party.
It's now officially every man for himself within the DNC—Democrat against Democrat,
insider against insider, and socialist against socialist.
According to the Daily Beast:
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called on Rep. Jon Conyers (D-MI) to
resign on Thursday following a host of sexual-misconduct allegations against the senior Democrat.
"The allegations against Conyers, we have learned more since Sunday, are serious, disappointing
and very credible," Pelosi told reporters this morning.
"Congressman Conyers should resign."
She added that "the brave women who came forward are owed justice" and offered prayers
for Conyers and his family due to his current hospitalization in Detroit.
Pelosi had received flack for her interview in which she called Conyers an "icon,"
as multiple House members said Conyers should resign.
Additionally on Thursday, Pelosi said there are discussions about revealing past secret
harassment settlements.
While many conservatives hate Nancy Pelosi and believe she's just using this current
climate of sexual distrust as an opportunity to further her political career, they're
happy nonetheless that the Democratic party is eating themselves alive.
What do you think?

Unfiltered: What Was Your Most Daring Moment On Stage? - Duration: 1:00.
Maria Bamford gave me like five minutes notice to open for her in a packed theater room and
there was like no space for me to even get on stage with my wheelchair, that I ended
up crawling on stage and doing my set on my knees.
It was kind of crazy.
I guess you could say the first time I ever got on stage.
Um, because that's the only time I've ever felt like I was doing something courageous.
My most daring moment on stage, I think, would be coming out as a Transgender woman.
I think that was the thing.
It's kind of hard to top that.
Um...
I haven't like saved a puppy on stage.
Attempting to do standup comedy in a uh underground marijuana hotbox speak easy.
I had to perform standup comedy for half comatose high people.
And I think that is courage.
I need a medal of honor.

1971: Drag Queens In Louisville "Widened My Scope Of What I Was Comfortable With." - Duration: 6:42.
I went to school at University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky.
So it would have been around 1970, 71.
And it had a gay bar - The Living Room - that I knew I had to get into that gay bar somehow.
I met a guy that was very clever at changing license - driver's license birthdates.
So he worked on mine and made me 21 years old, even though I was only - maybe I was
19 by then.
So I get to go to my first gay bar.
The gay bar was on Main Street - that's where the front door was.
I don't think anyone ever used the front door of that bar because it was on Main Street.
The back faced a parking area which was dark, and that's where everyone parked.
And the first thing that I found out was - I was driving - he instructed me to back the
car into the wall because he said - we didn't have front license plates in those days in
Kentucky, we only had rear license plates - you had to back the license plate up to
the building so that it couldn't be read because police would apparently ride down
behind the gay bar and take down the license numbers and put you on the list of suspected
homosexuals.
This was terrifying to me because the car that I was driving was registered to my father,
whose name is also Michael, just like mine.
So I could see something really terrible would happen, so I would always make sure that that
license plate couldn't be read.
So I go into the gay bar for my first time, and in those days the gay bars were usually
a Paris whorehouse motif, or an English hunt motif, or a Cowboy bunkhouse, you know, that
sort of thing, on the main level.
And then they always had a floor upstairs or downstairs, and whichever one it was was
where the dancing was and the shows, if they happen to have drag shows.
And so it was at The Living Room where I met my first drag queens.
My two best buddies were like the Mutt and Jeff of drag queens.
Wilfred was about, I'd say, 6-foot-4, African American.
Couldn't've weighed more than 150 lbs.
I don't know what it is about tall guys who want to go in drag, but always, you know,
it seems like the taller you are, the more likely it is you're going to want to be
in drag.
And then his little buddy, who I think's name was Leo, was about 5-4, also African
American.
And they were just - I was fascinated by these two because I'd never met any drag queens,
and in or out of drag, they were a hoot.
So I remember one time when Wilfred said he had something very special planned where he
was doing a show.
He said that I had to be there that night, so I showed up that night.
It was probably 1970 and the Broadway show "Pearly" was on Broadway, a musical.
And there was a number from it called - I hadn't heard it before - called "I Got
Love" that Melba Moore sang.
So Wilfred's on stage with a tiny spotlight just on his head and starts out very quiet,
very slow, "He thinks I'm afraid," you know, it's very soft.
And all of a sudden, it's one of those songs, it's Broadway, one of those songs that just
blows out into this, "I got love, I got love, I got love."
I had never seen such a performance before.
I had seen drag queens perform and they were just up there lip-syncing, but this was a
flat-out performance.
It changed my idea of what drag performances could be.
He was very good.
So that was a fun experience that I had with Wilfred and his "I Got Love" performance.
I also learned from them the bane of existence for a drag queen in those days, especially
if you're a big drag queen like Wilfred, was getting shoes that fit.
Nowadays I'm sure it's easy with the internet and that, but big feet, little women's shoes.
I learned the terms "shrimp" and "biscuit."
"Shrimp" was when your foot was too big and it curled over the ends of the shoes and
it looked like shrimp.
And then, with the sandal back, with the heel that hung over the back, and that was "biscuit."
And to this day, I've never forgotten those terms because they're so descriptive, you
know, "shrimp" and "biscuit."
And they would talk about each other, "Oh she's giving us much shrimp and biscuit."
But they did - my drag queen association in those days really kind of open my eyes to
a world and accepting people in the gay world who were so different from the way I was,
and appreciating them and enjoying them and just, again, widening my scope of what I was
comfortable with.
Often times, I hear, you know, in the gay world, "Oh, this person's too nelly."
I think sometimes, within the gay world, we tend to group maybe a little bit too closely
together with certain subgroups within the gay world.
I'm so happy that my horizons were expanded at a young age and I came to realize that
being gay is not monolithic.
We're not all the same.
The same-sex attraction, maybe, the same - but within that, there's so many different types.
Watch a gay pride parade and you can see that.
Every type you can imagine.
And so I think that it's - the important part of that story to me is just the level
of acceptance of other gay people who aren't like me.
So I think that's probably the most important thing.

What (& What Not) to Say to Childless Couples at Church - Duration: 4:01.
Okay. Oh my goodness.
You guys are so lucky you don't have to deal with this.
But, I mean, you have been married six years so
when are you going to get started?
Good question: "Do you guys have kids?"
Bad question: "Why don't you guys have kids?"
Worse question: "Is everything working okay?"
We want to talk about this because
it's a really important and sensitive subject.
I want people to know the boundaries,
and that everybody's situation is different.
Really well-intentioned people can sometimes
cause unintentional hurt.
Not all questions are equal.
There are some questions that are
better to ask than others.
"What are your medical issues?"
"Don't you have enough faith?"
"Well, don't you feel like
you want to complete your family?"
I'm not asking you if your marriage is on the rocks.
I'm not asking you how you're managing your finances.
Those are really personal questions.
So it's okay to ask someone
if they see themself having kids in the future.
But, maybe steer clear from the "why."
A lot of the questions that are more difficult
for me to hear are more suggestions.
Diets to do.
Medications to try.
Essential oils.
Foods. Yams. Maca root.
Pills. Clomid.
How to get my wife pregnant.
Spiritual cleanse.
What even is a spiritual cleanse?
I didn't ask.
Fasting. Prayer.
I feel like those are a little bit personal.
It's assuming that couples that don't have children
haven't worked hard enough or they haven't
tried hard enough.
When deep down they might be trying
and it might be a really painful thing.
Having children is this secret club.
If you haven't had them you don't know what it's like,
and you're sort of an outsider.
"Oh you'll understand one day when you have kids."
I mean we have nieces, we have nephews.
We might not be with them 24 hours a day.
People assume that you gain this sudden
wealth of knowledge just by biologically having a child.
I've had friends who are parents who admitted to me
that they don't know what they're doing anyway.
I think you may be surprised that we could possibly
have a perspective that you've never thought of before.
When you're talking about your family
and your children, don't be afraid
to invite me into that conversation.
I actually want to hear about your kids.
The hardest thing about being LDS and not having
children is people believe you're not a real family.
That because it's only my husband and I
with no kids. That doesn't make us complete.
People say the whole reason that we're here is to have
a family or have kids.
As individuals we are here to be tested and to grow,
and as a couple we're trying to strengthen our marriage
and our relationship.
I lost my train of thought at the end.
That's how I've been this whole time.
Two thumbs up!
Now I forgot the next half.
Babe! Come on!
There are wonderful things about being a young, married
couple without children.
There are wonderful things about being a young, married
couple with children.
Maybe I don't have kids, but maybe
I have a little more time to help the mom that does.
To help the mom that needs a break.
We're not speaking for every childless couple.
Our experiences are different.
Other couples' experiences might be different.
There's no perfect way to have a family,
and we just hope that
members of the Church can come to accept
and love us no matter where we're at in the journey.
I think it's important to just realize that God
has a different plan for every individual person.
It's most likely that you aren't the first person
to talk to us about it.
So just keep that in mind and
be careful what you say
because there are a lot of emotions
wrapped up in this topic.
Apparently, if you eat yams—
yeah, my grandma swears that yams—
you'll get twins.
I don't know what you you for triplets or something.
I don't know.
Maybe sweet potatoes?
Is that the same as yams?
No.
They're close.
