A Few Minutes With Dr. Emilio: "Back To Business"

When we last left The Good Doctor, his acrobatic dreams had been shattered. He was loaded onto a commercial flight, his tights and codpiece removed from his bag, and he was sent packing back to The Valley near the giant super highway.Yet, he forged ahead…

“This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle — broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would... But I'm a man of 30 — of 20 again. The rain on my chest is a baptism. I'm born again.”

Good day to you, and to all the ships at sea.  The Good Doctor is here, right where belongs, bringing you the latest from “this thing of ours”. My white suit is pressed, my stethoscope is at the ready, and it’s time to light this candle.

Let’s get started, shall we?

In the 7+ weeks I was away from the news desk @ The Journal, I tried my best to keep up with the incoming reports from this thing of ours. In my darkened room adjacent to the “Academie de Groin”, I was able to get a weak internet connection.  If the planets aligned, and the woman next door to me didn’t turn on her toaster, I could crank out the stray Flash Report.  But that was about it.  Flash forward to now… I’m back in my luxury office, my trusty dog (Barky Lizardo) at my feet, and I’m ready to push The Journal to new heights.
  

First of all, I am reviewing all the incoming reports received since late February.  All unpublished reports are now being edited, and will be up within the next 7 days.  If you have submitted a report, and have not seen it on The Journal yet, drop a quick e-mail to emiliolizardo1@gmail.com. I will confirm with you that I have it or not.

A big thank you goes out to you, the loyal readers of The Journal for hanging in there during my bout of self-indulgence.  But fear not, a lesson was learned: Middle-aged paesans should never be in the acrobat business.

Ever.

• One of the more pleasant surprises in this thing of ours in 2012 is the reimagining of The Colony Adult Theater (& Cocktails) in East St. Louis, IL. The home turf of my esteemed colleague, MajorVoyeur, he knows as well as anyone that The Colony almost went the way of the do do bird and Tiger Woods’ game (on the course).  However, in stepped a couple involved in the adult scene in St. Louis, and they have injected some new life into marketing this throwback adult theater to make it even more couples friendly.  Theme nights are now common at The Colony. Check out this recent Flash Report for a few details on this new era of this thing of ours at The Colony.  The Colony is on The Good Doctor’s must visit list for this summer.

• Portlandia is still the go-to place for this thing of ours, but there continue to be reports of the overly aggressive guys at The Paris Theatre (and to a lesser degree, The Oregon Theater across town).  Brent in Portland has a nice report on this, and I myself have seen this in person more than a few times.  Last weekend’s actions by aggressive younger guys at The Paris (as reported by both Brent and a couple’s own report) resulted in Portland dropping to #2 in this week’s Power Rankings. 

• 15^th Avenue Adult Books and Theater in Melrose Park, IL continues to do well on both weekdays and weekend nights.  Their “Couples, Females, and T-Gurls Free” weeks at the beginning of each month create a lot of traffic on all sides of the fence.  Adding to the scene there, their huge party room gets opened during select major sporting events.  This provides a nice warm-up arena prior to hitting the theater, video booths, or the ever popular spa/steam room.

• The Art Cinema in Hartford is right on top for The Good Doctor as a place to visit in 2012.  A look back at reports from M&S, a regular couple that attends The Art will show that its balcony is still the focal point of much fun and frolic. 

• Comments are OPEN! The Good Doctor has opened up the “Comments” section with each new report on The Journal.  You can post anonymously or use a name, your call.  Comments will be moderated, but only for spam or flaming.  The rest flies

Call For Reports

The Good Doctor needs you!  Since all of this acrobat crap is over, we need to get to the task at hand: Adult theater reports.  And this is where you can and will shine.

Regular readers know we have 3 major varieties of reports:

• Flash Reports – An accounting of an adult theater scene within the last few days or weeks.
• Field Reports – A review of an adult theater itself, with a description of the layout, seating, video area, whether it’s couples friendly, etc.
• Blasts From The Past – A report of a past classic experience at an adult theater.  Moaning Lisa had a great one recently about an adult theater experience in Hawaii many years ago.

The lifeblood of The Journal of Adult Theaters are your reports, and I need them pronto.  The public is hungry, and you have the ingredients to make dinner.

Send your Flash, Field, or Blast reports to me at emiliolizardo1@gmail.com. I will edit, format, drop in the photos, and make you look like a champ.  Oh, and you get the byline.  If you have a photo or two of the outside of the theater you visit, that would be great!  I need new pics from this thing of ours to illustrate your (and future) articles at The Journal.  New reporters, this is for you… Please provide a pen name you wish to use for your reports moving forward.  Be creative. And remember, with your 2^nd report submission, I will design a custom logo for your reports. Cool, eh?

Coming Soon!

• A slightly revised layout to the web version of The Journal
• New calls for special reports (like the “Top Adult Theater Woman” essays from two years ago)
• More polls
• More updates from adult theaters across the globe
• And more photos of The Good Doctor in a public place

It’s good to be back folks…Thank you to the dozens of e-mails I received from readers welcoming me back to the fold.

Be safe out there.

Thanks,

Doc
