Happy Pride!

Saturday - We were a little late getting down to the Parade, and I worried we were too late to see CI. Ended up having plenty of time. Everyone who bought the $75 wristband was fairly disappointed, as it was well drinks only. Saw Brandon and Chris, Justin, Jay, Nelson, etc. We watched the parade, walked around Universal, etc. I waved at Anthony when the CI float went past, but I guess he didn't see me. We went over to Rich's after that - given last year's fiasco, I was a little worried about losing Ken, and I did at one point, but everything was fine. I ran into tipsy Michael and Jason, as well as Justin and his co-workers. Dallas was also there with his fuck-buddy for the weekend, and he was tipsy and energetic enough to not be dancing so much as just jumping up and down in people's faces. The music wasn't bad, but being completely sober surrounded by the drunks drained me a little. We walked back home and headed over to Glenn's after that. I ate some nuts and fruit, but tried very hard not to eat too much of either. Got people drinks and the like. Nikki got in the pool, and still wasn't ready to leave when we were, but she got Brandon and Chris to take her home, so everyone was happy. We took litle naps after that, agreeing to meet up again around 8. I woke the (reluctant to get up) boys at 7:20, and again at 7:30, and we finally headed out and over. There was talk of happy pills, so I abstained from drinking, even after they opted to use a cab. On board, we met up with Chris and Brandon, who I was just delighted to see. Happy pills didn't happen, but I stayed away from drinking all the same. A little after the boat finally went under way (40 min. late to accommodate late passengers), I heard people talking about someone jumping off. Apparently someone jumped off the back of the boat, which of course I didn't notice, and we were heading back to harbor. Whatever, we were there to dance. I saw the gent from Tammy's birthday a while back, and said "hi" to him..even invited him to join us, though he declined. We saw several boys that Ken knew..one of them, a gent by the name of Brad, was from LA, but that was about all the detail that I could get out of him. Later, talking to Brandon, he point to him again, and it's Brad with a big dick that Ken had relations with, several times. Night was mostly uneventful other than that, except when it came time to leave. A bunch of people started gathering at the doors around 1:30, very clearly waiting to be let off. When they finally opened the doors around 1:50 or so, they only let people out 15 at a time, since the police wanted to conduct a short interview with them. What? The drunken queers in the background shouting "just push your way through!" didn't help anyone or anything. We finally got out of there, and managed to catch a cab, and walked over to a Mexican place for food. Ken bought the boys burritos, and taquitos for himself, but nothing for me. I ate some rice at the hotel, which I shouldn't have, and some tvp when we got to the house. It wasn't a bad night, though most of the high point for me was talking with Chris and Brandon.
