The Quest for the Elusive Glambeezy
As my followers on Twitter (@tristantrakand) already know, I've been trawling the metropolis looking for a copy of the Rolling Stone issue featuring Adam Lambert, aka Glambert, aka Glambeezy. It's been a futile search for the most part; I almost thought that we didn't have it here.
Turns out that it will get to the country on Wednesday next week, and as such I made three reservations with three different vendors just so I could at least get ONE copy. This is not me being paranoid: all three vendors say that there's already a long list of reservations. One of them even showed me the actual list.
And like I said over at Twitter, I think I frightened one of the salespeople at one of the stores where I made my reservation. The incident went like this:
Me: Do you have a copy of the latest Rolling Stone?
Salesperson # 1: Is this the one with...
Me: Yes, Adam Lambert.
Salesperson # 1: I don't think we have it yet but let me ask Salesperson # 2....
Salesperson #2: Adam Lambert? He's gay.
Me: (eyebrow raised) And what's wrong with that? Ha?
Salesperson #2: Uhmmm....
And then he gives a long explanation that I didn't bother listening to. In hindsight, he may have not meant anything by the "he's gay" comment, but I just didn't want to take any crap that moment.
