I'm A Pleasure Seeker, Lookin' For Some Platinum Action
Chris and I were at the gym last night and there were a couple of cute cubbish types working their way through the circuit of machines. Still being a little "on" from last weekend's TBRU, I had to remind myself mentally not to stare.
It's something that always happens coming out of a bear run. after being in the bear bubble for a few days you tend to forget that these guys are statistically not likely to play on your team.
The bubble is enticing. Wonderful men, old and new to meet, fun times socializing, kicking youself for not saying hello to the hottie that just walked by, etc. There's food and fun. If I ever decide it's worth it to stay at the hotel, and not drive home, maybe I'll actually drink a little. From what I've been told, that might "loosen me up" so I'll forget to be so worried about my own hang-ups.
Still, it was a good run. The events this year weren't so hot, and I wish i hadn't felt sick and could have stayed in the pool on Friday night. Otherwise, there were good rubbin's from Mikey (profundis), getting to meet Mark from Madison for the first time, hanging with wingman Jim (jrjarrett), and seeing Tony (tonydabear), Paul (citizenpep), and Tony (cubziz) again, among many others.
I tried to keep groups small, and not try to get lost in the big 20 person feasts and such, but some crowds can't be avoided, in the pool area, the hospitality suite, and so forth. I just have to occasionally take a time out and go out for a milkshake every once in a while. It's healthy, sort of.
This weekend did remind me that I need to do better socializing with the locals here, because there's some really good fellas here.
There is something about just being in the lobby and watching all of the guys walk by. I wish it was happening again soon. Not this weekend, but maybe the next - one would need to have time to recover.
Now if the hot guys would just stay in their homes for a few days more.
I took a few pics, mostly at the LJ meetup. Nothing like the party pics others took, but if you want to see, they are HERE
