7 Minute Taxi Express. robert handed me the business card and i gazed upon it with sincere doubt and skepticism. 'fuck it...i'm calling ace.' i stared at the white number embedded in my cellphone.

no. no, no, no.

robert persisted that i phone the number so i called 7 Minute Taxi Express. harry answered. harry is the operator of a private limousine. harry told me in between chuckles that he'd pick me up from touch in about 7 minutes. "ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh.... in about seven minutes." he was there in 6.

harry pulls up in a 1980s styled extended lincoln continental limousine. sick as fuck. i get in.

harry tells me he's a retired machinist after 40+ years on the job. he says he bought a limo to drive around cleveland to pick up cool people as a way to pass retirement time.

holy fuck, harry is awesome.

we talk about stuff. i tell harry about where i play music. i mention anatomy (old cloud9). harry asks... "where's brian? he's the bar manager of that place. he hasn't called me in two weeks. i take him everywhere."

threads of sinew twisted in my throat, with tears following.

i informed harry of the news. i got out of the limo and hugged him.


...

if you're downtown and need a sick ride, call harry.

440-317-1244

i'm positive he'll do his best to get you where you where you need to go.

excellent conversation included at no extra charge.

F-yeah! Harry was our hero when we lived in Ohio City. Sweet ride, prompt service(to the best of his ability), and definitely great conversation. He knows alot about Cleveland nightlife from driving many of us safely around to the various spots. Good guy for sure.[/quote]

the fare is the same as a typical taxi, but he's a good dude and used to hook us up often.

much more pleasant of a ride than with 6 minute gary! Laughing

So Harry the cab driver that picks up people from Bounce Night Club will NOT accept fares with drag queens. Alone, without a queen, is acceptable but if you're an entertainer and need a cab he will not take you. My boyfriend and I have ridden with him many times in the past, in drag, and there was no problem, but once you mention DRAG QUEEN he get's rude and very hateful saying "It's a free country, and I don't drive drag queens!"

The entertainers work their butts off on and off the stage, and to be treated like it's still the dark ages from someone who is just driving is just intolerable. I will be making a formal complaint with him, as well as many higher ups I need to to get this taken care of.
