We're Here, We're Queer, And We Want Another Order of Chicken Fingers

During my recent trip to Chihuahua, Mexico I learned that the big night of the week for people there to go out and get a little bit crazy is Thursday. The bars and clubs are hoppin' on Thursdays. And none is more popular for drinking, dancing, and general debauchery in Chihuahua than Applebee's. Yes, the same Applebee's. The Applebee's where your parents like to go and have a reasonably priced dinner. The Applebee's where people like to bring their kids.

Apparently the American restaurant import is attracting a bit of a different crowd in Chihuahua. In fact Thursday nights at Applebee's have even started to be known as a hot spot for gays looking to hook up. While no self-respecting, hip, "alternative lifestyler" in the United States would be caught dead in the staid, suburban conformity of Applebee's, for their Mexican Queer Nation counterparts it's THE place to be.

I guess Vincent Vega was right. It is the "little things".
