Mob
Or The Gay Pride Parade pick your city.
When all is said and done, I almost always have a good time and leave feeling energize (read as desensitized) and ready to face the summer.
Its the run up to gay pride is the strange thing. It usually starts around the first time you see an ad for the DJ of the minute spinning at the club/bar of the minute. Then there is pride month on the movie channels (that's when they show Longtime Companion, And the Band Played On and the like) . That's when I question whether or not I'll go to the mob scene. Years gone by the answer was aways YES. How there was no doubt that I would, after all it was my duty as a... well you can drink in the streets, and try and look up boys shorts as they go by on the floats. The run up to the parade was filled with who's apartment were you going to start drinking at, and what was the drink of choice (raspberry Fool ). Where were we going to stand to get the best view, close to bathrooms, and to a bar or 7-11 and for that matter what was the drink to carry with you, my favorite was the vodka and slurpee year.
Now the excitement is almost non existent, I haven't been for a few years now to the actual parade, I went a couple of years ago and sat in a bar in the window and watched the parade go by but that was kind of sad like fast forwarding 20 years (the bar was the North End) and one year I went with a friend after the parade looking for the drunk and the willing or as I like to put it catch a slow one from the heard, again fast forward 20 years.
But this is a new year, new city, and new me? and I have a new attitude damn it!
Well not really, but I'll go.
I hope baggy shorts are in again this year.

I remember going to the gay beach during the gay parade. It was practically empty & I enjoyed it. What does that say? asked the hapless misanthrope.
vodka slurpee year was really fun! that time we had the post-parade pre-going out party was fun too... i think i was giving hair cuts at one point!!
i always find that when i dont' go for a year or two i enjoy it more when i come back... and i can actually be moved by things like the gay cops association and pflag.
and honestly, you know how i'm not into sweaty dykes so that's not ever the reason i ever go...
