San Diego Strip Clubs: OK, Adam Lambert’s gay … now what?
June 20, 2009 at 1:00 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsDanny Fields, then an editor at 16, has often noted that John’s popularity plummeted after the piece was published. First, the teen publication received a wave of letters from young women, saying, “My brother read in Rolling Stone that Elton John is bisexual. Please say it isn’t so.” Then, after the magazine published a commentary saying that, indeed, it was so and that fans should still support John, the letters stopped. According to Fields, John went from being “the No. 1 mail getter to none.”

San Diego Adult Entertainment: Biologist-comic seeks good chemistry with audience
June 19, 2009 at 12:49 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsI’m not worried about an audience that doesn’t understand science. I’ve played to an audience that didn’t understand English. My agent told me it “was an opportunity to impress a fresh audience.” He wasn’t lying. I’ll give him that.
I’ve found that, in general, the people who come out to my shows are very bright and possess a strong intellectual curiosity. I feel really lucky to have an audience like that. When I started out in comedy, I spent countless nights performing to a room full of drunks. They want you to get dirty as quickly as possible. I felt like a stripper. Now that I’m doing my own shows, it’s like teaching a class full of gifted students. I trust they understand what I’m talking about and go with it. If you talk down to them, they’ll get bored.

TG: In terms of public safety, which I think is a top concern for District 3 residents, we have been able to get additional Community Relations Officers (CROs) placed in District 3 neighborhoods. We currently have a total of four CROs operating in District 3, which is more than any other council district has. I think [this] is a reflection of the community’s request and desire.
