Gearing Up for Pride Weekend

[djmermaid]

Pride weekend is almost here and I am getting ready! I can hardly wait to have my new subbie kicking out the bass on Castro street! I have wanted one for so long and I know it will vastly improve my sound for Pink Saturday. Yeah

Have a good time! I might decide to show up tomorrow, but I don't know. I don't have many friends to go to these things with, so queer spaces usually make me feel either a) not queer enough because I'm dating men or b) like I'm broke and window shopping (lonely, wanting hot girls but having nothing to say to them, no idea how to approach them, etc.). So these days, I tend not to go at all.

I know what you mean about not feeling queer enough... I've often felt the same way. Bi-peeps are so invisible. And about being shy (one of the great things about DJing is it gives me something to *do* other than try to talk to people!)

So I am probably not the best source of advice. However... I know that many hotties come to things like this looking to hook up. If you see someone you think is cute, go up and say hi. You can always start off with something simple like "I like your " or ask if they are from SF, if they've been to pride before... just chat. If they're interested they'll chat back

Nods. I guess I feel too "special interest" to randomly hit on people. I'm bisexual, poly, married, slightly overweight, don't like techno, rarely go to clubs, don't like dogs or sports or Ani DiFranco, into geekdom and Discordianism and reality bending and photography and communications. The internet and friends-of-friends seem like the only way to possibly meet someone I won't scare off within ten minutes.

But anyways, I'd love to meet you at some point, so if I'm up for it, I'll try to make it tomorrow. I'll definately come say hi if I do.

Ah, now I see where you're coming from. It is hard to meet really compatible people. The BF can go on a wander around Burning Man any time of day or night, and hook up. I have often wondered how he does it and bemoaned my own inability to so easily meet people. But then these romances often don't work out, because they turn out to be Not Poly, or from some other state or something, so it's fun in the moment but it doesn't go anywhere. Lasting connections are harder to form, and I agree that friends and the 'net are pretty much the best way to meet people for an ongoing relationship. And even that isn't easy. People are all so unique, sometimes I think it's a wonder any relationship works out!

So I'll see you if you come, and otherwise I'm sure we'll meet up eventually.

Alright! New Subs are great! (subwoofers that is)

Well Pink Saturday wil be a bust for me. Work calls.

I will be out there Sunday. I too feel Pride means something deep and extraordinary than what people think of it.

Its not only about pride for your sexual orientation but for just embracing who you are even if normal society doesnt always accept it. You go girl!

PS: Gay Pride is my Xmas.
