After a long day of issues, Bitchidence.com is back online.

Providence is again safe for bitchery.

Who thought Bitchidence.com would even still be online two years after our first post was written back in 2007?

Not us! We figured someone would get pissed off and try and stab us or something.

But whatever, since our first post on January 31, 2007, Bitchidence.com has been visited over 8000 times by over 2000 visitors (unique IP addresses). That means every visitor has come back an average of four times. What are you thinking?

While for an average website, that’s not really a lot — but for such a focused demographic in not a huge city, we think that’s a-ok, and we’re excited about what Bitchidence.com may become in the next two years. So keep reading bitches!

Which Allens Ave. club-owner had local NBC10‘s microphones thrust in his face recently on Allens Ave. over his “owner” title?

Extra credit if you know why ownership was in question.

Friday night, Mirabar revives it’s live performance night on Friday with the first girl to perform live at Mirabar a couple years ago. Lauren Hildebrandt, a total sweetheart takes the stage to promote her new single Boyshorts off her new album Not Really A Waitress,a title which we assume is generally a joke with her friends because back in 2005 when we first met her, she really was a waitress.

But before that, Christian Lander, the author of one of our favorite online blogs, Stuff White People Like (which sits faithfully in our bookmarks folder), will be at the Brown Bookstore on Hope St. at 4:30pm to promote his new book Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions. We probably won’t buy the book because it’s understood that it’s mostly the content from the blog itself. But we still love it. When will “Starting A Gossip Blog” be a featured post?

Right: Alley Cat’s Cathy O.
Left: Cathy a.k.a. “Crazy Blond Bitch”

Bitchidence.com loves both of these ladies, but come-the-fuck on! We’re ashamed we didn’t think of this one sooner…

So, someone here in Providence thinks their the hottest piece in town… No, no, it’s not us (you sly dogs)! The title belongs to Josh Duffy! Wait, who?
Don’t worry, we’d never heard of him either until we ended up showing up at the shooting of his new music video on the second floor of Bravo on Monday evening. Side note: the second floor of Bravo would be an amazing place to host Trixx for a night. They wrapped the video for his song I Will Love You, then Duffy and film crew headed to Alley Cat around the block for a drink. It was nice to see Alley Cat so busy on a Monday night, Cathy O certainly kept her glass full had her hands full at the bar and was happy to have Dave from Downcity help her out for the night since Michael Slade was home “throwing up” according to the chalk board (after his return trip from Vegas).

Anywho, we hung around and had a few drinks while Cathy played a few songs from Josh’s “new” album, and as dance-pop goes (of which 90% is completely soul-less and undanceable anyway), we were only able to judge what we heard by its production value, of which there was little. Now we’ve met a lot of club performers over the last couple years, and as spirited, tireless individuals, you’re typically hard-pressed to catch them in a moment where they’re not totally “on” — they’re always working, after all. Now Josh Duffy could be a sweet kid (or a total cunt), but mostly he just blended in with the rest of the Alley Cat crowd — simply, the kid just didn’t look or act like a star — and we don’t care if he just finished a 13-hour video shoot, the bitch better smile if he wants us to go see him perform at Wheels!

So get it while it’s hot, Josh leaves town Wednesday morning. Oh, and if you’re still interested, you can get his CD for $8.99 on Amazon.com…

To make the night a little less boring, we stumbled back to our car to find this:

We loved it! (translation: we loved the opportunity to post it)
We even called said “Pedro”, only to regret it within seconds… Thanks for that one, Providence.

It doesn’t happen often, but when we Bitchidence.com doesn’t tell the whole story, or give an issue due attention, sometimes commenters are able to fill in some of the blanks (which is why we need you).

Case in point, the discussion currently taking place over the last post.

We agree that Gay Guerilla isn’t about “shocking” people. Not anymore, at least. If it were still about shocking people, it would have found a much colder reception here in Providence last fall, a city historically built by those who brought shock value to the New World in the first place. Look it up, bitches.

Anyway, we’ve been told that “the person who runs the Guerrilla Gay Bar has moved out of state and now lives in New York√?????”. We’re not sure we buy that. Presumably, the organizer (and Facebook Group administrator) for Gay Guerilla is San Andre, who we’ve never seen before in person and who posts no identifiable pictures on Facebook or anywhere else. Now we’re not in a position to question anyone’s motivations for anonymity (obviously), but doesn’t it seem more likely that some anonymous “San Andre” (mysteriously moving to New York for a few months) is just a pseudonym/excuse for someone who’s just to lazy to keep shit going?

In our opinion, Gay Guerilla in Providence needs to evolve (haha) into something else in order to even begin to gain relevance to the gays (and straights) in this city. What can get everyone together voluntarily, instead of essentially tricking gays and straights to hang out together? (and then wallowing in the awkward result). Gay Guerilla is, after all, a “social happening” rather than event.

Don’t believe it’s possible? That’s why we fail.

Ok, so we all know that Providence isn’t the most happening city ever, especially in the winter, but when the one and only covert Gay Guerilla operation in Providence is left to lapse into inactivity, it’s just lame — considering minimal operating costs, and it doesn’t take much time to think of someplace to tell people to go. Their Facebook Group page explains:

“As we begin a new year and look forward to shaping 2009, Guerrilla Gay Bar Providence will be going on a hiatus of sorts- into hibernation if you will.”

Sounds like a lack of effort to us. Besides, gorillas don’t fucking hibernate — they die in ditches next to Mirabar. Gay!

Anyway, we thought that it started tonight, but according to Myspace, world renouned DJ Johnny Vicious takes up a weekly residency at Monet Wednesday nights starting next week. Wait, what? The same Johnny Vicious that tours the world performing for thousands is going to come to Providence Wednesday nights that the location doesn’t even acknowledge being open? We would love it if this happened, we’ll even skip Retro night at Mirabar to go see this once or twice! Can we for real Gay Guerilla Monet Wednesday night? Oh yeah, we forgot. No.

As part of our continued effort to make Bitchidence.com more conducive to bitchiness for all, we’ve added a rating function. Now you can rate posts and comments on a scale from one to five Bitchidence B’s!

Do it! Love it!
