It was Friday 13th of July. Dia mond Lil was scheduled as the star of the evening. Pre show time activities included a splendid cold cut buffet and free champ agne for everyone. The champagne was supplied by John McBride of “My House Bar.” The night was a sucess but many strange things happened at that ghost rid den celler. The air con ditioning stopped cooling about eight o’clock. This was about two hours before show time. There was a disturbance to say the least in the back parking area. Two drags were battling it out in the park ing lot purses and all. Many of the crowd took there drinks and went out to see the show out there in the eighty - plus temperatures. It must havfe been one hundred degrees in that Cave that night. People were so smashed that they did not know if they were dead or alive. The bartenders were far from adequate for such a large crowd. Over five hundred people jammed the Cave that night. Due to the location and the opening of other better located and more spacious bars the Cave folded. The owner of that place has opened a bar in Los An geles catering to the lea ther set. Frankenstein’s Cave will live on in the minds of many people. Per haps as the worst place that ever existed in Atl anta or the best place that they have visited. It is hard to tell. I questioned many people about that place. Here are some of the re actions: Gretta Gossip of “Hello Dollies” on right; Liddia Lipshit of “The Gay Days” We Remember” on left, outside Gossip Manor on their Palatial Estate. “The place had a horr ible oder. If it wasn’t for that I could have enjoyed that place.” “I went there once and someone stole my dress out of my car.” “Frankenstein’s Cave sh ould not have opened at all. “If I heard Apple sing * ‘ Stony End’ ’ one more time I would have screamed. The shows were good but the bartenders were stuck on themselves.” “The Place had good mus ic and the shows were al ways too long.” “I think that place was for bums that could get drinks for free and smoke with out worrying about < the pigs.” “The place was hard to find and the parking lot was too dangerous to leave your car in.” These comments came from certain drags andpo- Dear Luv Lee, With the cooperation of a friend who received your paper, I too get to read it. Your “ Advise to the jLoyejorn”iad caused me to inject ~a few words to your “Dear Unhappy” in Vol. #1 No. 1. There are many of us who feel that they need not pay their debt to society by marriage. You need not be! ashamed of this just be cause someone did marry at a specific age or time in their life ig no justi fication that you are ready to marry. I feel that when this time comes I will feel it in every inch of my body and Soul, and I will let everyone else know exactly how I feel-proudly as long as you are not* apprehended in the act by your parents, you show no signs of psychopathology, and you are satisfied with your preference, and can function effectively in soc iety--there is no need to worry or be afraid to face society in any of it’s de mands. You have a place in society-and will be ac cepted--if you work for it and warrent it. Should you have a close friend and buddy for your occasions; choosej one who will mix well and one you are not ashamed to be with or have your parents meet. Even though they may be reluct ant to accept; do not force it upon them, and by all means- do not flaunt it, iswish it- or whatever you wish to call it. Like in the intimicies of married life- you do not tell of your relations. This is private between you two. Following the death of my father, my mother lived with me many years. I respected her feelings and my ap- pearence for all involved. If there was any suspic ion on her part- she ne ver reproached me. My friend and I are accepted pular bar hoppers in Atlanta. If you have any comments on Franken stein’s cave drop me a line. Remember the “Hill” in Piedmont Park? When it was sunny many good look ing studs bathed in the sun with just the bare es sentials worn on their sun tanned bods. Crusing was tops on the “Hill” espec ially at night. I met a certain popular Female Impersonator on the Hill several summers ago. That person was never in drag before. It wasn’t for sev eral months later that this boy started doing shows at the Cruise Quarters. He roomed with another popu lar Showster in Atlanta.' Both are still performing in Atlanta. If you know who these people are send me your guess. Next Month: Peaches Back Door. in society with or without dates, we are heavy church workers, members of sev eral lodge brganizations, we are in civic work, hospital work, and homes for the elderly. Putting my self into action to bene fit others is the least that I can do to repay for the pleasures that have been mine- in this life. It is a tough life and you will reap what you sew. . The above letter was sent in by one of our readers. He did not sign his name but I would like to thank him for such a wonderful letter and I do agree with you. Luv Lee Dear Luv Lee, I just wanted you to know that I think - all Fags are sick. They’re immature, and need professional help so that they can go straight and lead decent product ive lives. You should en courage everyone that writ es to you to change their life style before it is too late. Also, I think that papers like the'Atlanta Barb sho uld be outlawed. Lets see this in print if you will. Straight Reader Dear Straight Reader, Thank you for your opin ion. Now here’s, mine. I have met many immature straight people. A person’s 1 immaturity does not stem from their sexual prefer ence. I know many decent Gay citizens that lead use ful and productive lives. You have no right to judge anyone’s lifestyle, or to in dicate that it should be changed. I’m truly sorry that you don’t care for our paper, so I suggest that you don’t read it any more. But heres an idea. Why not wallpaper your “closet” with it? Luv Lee DEAR LUV LEE Advice To The Lovelorn
