I know I'm supposed to be on the Pride bandwagon and all but this past weekend, I felt a little bit of antarctic disinterest towards the whole thing. I'm not sure why. Sure, Pride weekend sometimes hasn't felt as special to me as I think it does to a lot of other people, because, up until recently, I've lived my life as a 24/7 gay pride parade. Pride Sunday was sort of just one more day. Also, after a couple decades of Parades, I kind of feel as though they are like James Bond movies - you could see all of them if you wanted to, but do you really need to? (as a lay Bond fan, I find the Daniel Craig Bonds more watchable than the others but admittedly some of that has to do with the man cake on display in his movies)
In any event, I spent the first third of the day prepping the Tenth and Final Bad Boys on the Hudson slated for Sunday July 14th. Lots of fun, click here to see the Facebook invite (feel free to 'join' yourself, but you still have to buy a ticket). I then went down to the West Village, and ended up at Rockbar. I thought a super hot guy was cruising me until I realized that the video screen was just behind me. Whoops. I danced with the hubby of another friend and someone cracked my back. There were also $3 cans of beer and 80s rock videos playing. There was also a $3 cover, which all things considered, is pretty reasonable. Someone behind me grumbled "what a ripoff" in exactly the same tone as my mother did once when I was a teen. We - my mom, my sister and I - were in line for the movies and when my mom was told the ticket price, which had raised, my mom, trying to be all current.. it was the mid-1970s ... said in a voice and tone I'll never forget, "what a ripoff!" Naturally my sister and I hung our heads in embarrassment ("m-oom"). So there I was standing in line, digging out my $3 and I heard "what a ripoff"... and I had to smile. My mom had joined me for Gay Pride in New York - well, you see, not everyone lives their life like every day is Gay Pride... and so I'm glad that she gave it a try. It's kind of funny what you find when you're not looking, huh?
