OMG!!! We Had So Much Fun At Gay Pride This Year!!!
This is the best Pride I've ever been to! Once again it was totally FREE!
The crowds were not quite as HUGE as they usually are, and I am sure it was because of the THREAT of rain. There was a lot of places with mud and my feet are very dark this morning! LOL! There were a lot of good spots too and we laid out a tarp as well as a blanket and had a F*CKING BLAST!!!!
The event took place at Liberty War Memorial, the only memorial and museum in the world dedicated solely to WWI. You have GOT to check out the picture to see why the fags of KC love it so much and we think it is soooo funny that that's where the event starting taking place as of last year.
We had so much fun that despite the fact we are tired, we are driving all the way the hell back in to Kansas City again today... We didn't have a damned CLUE as to who the headliners were - Josh Zukerman, Jim Verraros and Kimberly Locke (American Idol I think but they were terrific! There was lots of local talent, really, really, really GOOD local talent too! Only one dray act really, thank GAWD!!! I don't hate drag queens or anything, they are just people and they were INTRINSIC to the Stone Wall Riots, so we owe them a shit load, but I still don't get them. But I don't have to, do I? They are one more part of the WONDERFUL diversity of out gay culture...
Then to my SHOCK, I found out that Pepper MaShay was playing at this new club, NV, a big dance and video place that is hot with the young crowd. And she was fucking FANTASTIC! I have never been so impressed with that kind of performance. We were right there with her and she kept coming down in the crowd (pissing security off) and touching people (the right way) and she sounded EXACTLY as she does on the soundtrack to "Queer as Folk" (you know the song, "Dive into the Pool!?"). You know how so many people when you see them in real life you see they really aren't all that good, the shit has been mixed out of their voices in the studio so they sound really good?
Not Pepper MaShay! She was so good that at first I thought she was lip-sinking, but she kept ab-libbing and talking to the audience and saying the standard things like, "I love you too, baby..." and she was just so REAL!
Oh, hell! We had such an amazing time! And we flirted like crazy and bought t-shirts ("Queer as Fuck" and this one with art of a 50's house wife and a little balloon that said, "Spit? Swallow?" - it was hysterical).
I need to sign off and get to Pride. I'll report more later... Including a new little adventure!
HAPPY PRIDE!!!!!!!
