I recently attended the Le Buzz night club in Marietta,Ga. While there I saw a variety of people that i was not used to being around. I noticed a lot of conversating with going on in the night club, then I noticed that it was a gay and lesbian bar!! Drags started coming in through the front door periodically. The first drag was quite pretty, Jizelle, whom I wanted to interview.He had to be about 5'8'' 130 ibs. with a bob wig and french mannicured nails. The next drag that came in was too masculine, he had to be about 6'5'', 300 ibs., without heals!!He was just too much for me and I knew once I saw him, I didn't want to interview him, he looked mean. Upon seeing each other the drags talk like they are the bestest of friends.
They used average joe vocabulary, but Jizelle used the term "Drag King", and I had no idea what it meant so I asked her what it meant. She told me it was when a woman dresses up like a man, the opposite of a drag queen. I felt so stupid because after she explained it she said "duh" and started laughing. I also saw older men, 65+, there and I wondered why, but I dared not ask Jizelle that. Overall I enjoyed interviewing her and was invited to come back anytime.

I;m glad you had a good exp. there! I know you were worried about going, do you think you'll go back?
I don't think so. It felt too awkward. it's not a place I could see myself attending for my own personal entertainment and pleasure.
I think your topic will be interesting, and your argument will be as well too.
