Ken on the Scene
Words & photos by Ken Knox
You know, sometimes I have to sit back and take stock of
my life and just marvel at all the fun I get to have. I mean,
not many other people can say that hanging out in bars, getting
drunk and having sex with hot, drunk guys in said bars is
their job. Well, actually, I guess technically neither can
I. I guess the getting drunk and having sex parts are just
the perks that come with the gig. But still...
Actually, between visits to see Chico's Angels Episode 2:
Love Boat Chicas at the Cavern Club Theater and Little Black
Veil at the Complex in Hollywood—not to mention the extreme
makeover I'm giving my bachelor pad right now—I didn't have
a whole lot of time for too much slutting around. Still,
I had enough.
It all started over at the Eagle, where I met up with a guy
I'd been chatting with via Facebook for ages. He was in town
from Chicago, and we managed to duck out of the bar for a
little bit and come back before his friends even noticed
he was missing. (Yes, I work fast.) I barely had time to
notice that Meat Rack, one of Silver Lake's most popular
clubs, was going on. Then it was over to Faultline for Blender's
gay Pride edition, titled, oddly enough, Fucken Freakshow.
Spelling errors aside, it was another way-cool night out
on the town for me. But then again, anytime I get to flirt
with bartenders Dustin and Trane, I'm pretty happy. It was
also Blender emcee DJ Rawburt's birthday, so there was even
another reason to party.
 I was back over at the Eagle a few nights later to meet up
with my Chicago buddy again (no fun for us this time around,
boo hoo), then it was over to Akbar, where I met up with
my gal pal Andrea, who I hadn't seen in ages (she's pretty
flaky that way) and chatted with my pal Heath. There was
more fun to be had at the Faultline's big Tom of Finland
parking lot party, which featured more beefcake than the
meat section at your local grocery and some rockin' tunes
that had the crowd spinning out of control. I should know.
I was one of them. Sure enough, the following Monday was
not one of my happiest. Oh well, it comes with the territory.
With a job like mine, I really can't complain.
OK, that's it for this installment, but check back next time
for more of my dirty doings on the scene.
