It's hard to give you something when you're pushing me...
This past weekend, being the Minneapolis PRIDE, was so ridiculous I don't think I even need to talk about it. Plus, writing about the weekend would go like this:
drink, party, flirt, drink, dance, sleep, drink, dance, walk, drink, etc.
I think you get the gist. I will say that I loved this year much more than last year. We had better weather for one, but mostly I loved that this weekend I saw TONS of different people, and ran around with groups between 10-20 people big. It is kind of fun to see the social progress I've made in this past additional year of living in the Twin Cities.
On saturday afternoon, I walked around with Seth and his parents for a bit, and it made me really want my own parents up here. I think they would get a real kick out of the festival and parade.
I will say that i finished the pride weekend very enjoyably by attending Smash Monday's at Lents. I love playing video games with other gays, but mostly I loved that I got to play 3 rounds of beer pong. After dancing at the Saloon for 3 of 4 of the past nights, and drinking a lot of liquor, I was happy to just chill out and kick ass at beer pong.
The one thing I worry about is that though I got to hang out so much with such a fun, giant group of people, is that now that pride is over, people will return to their smaller circles. Of course, I love the people that I hang out with more readily than everyone else, yet I don't want to have to wait another year to see so many people again.
I know that hanging out in such giant groups all the time isn't feasible... but I think I just miss the giant social parties that used to populate my earlier years of college so much.
Now, onto "The Tenderness of Wolves" for really, in this weather, there is nothing more approachable then sitting on the couch reading a book.
