I watched all this unfold from behind the plate-glass of the coffee shop on 9th and Downing Street. I spent my weekend writing a paper on the topic of homosexuals and how they were portrayed in mid-century media. How movies and literature portrayed homosexuality as a sickness, something to be feared or pitied. As I typed away on the topic of self-loathing in the GLBT community, two twenty-somethings sat at the next table hatching a plan to raise funds to bankroll an awareness campaign for our local meal delivery program for people living with HIV.
I did put down the lap-top long enough to attend Bearracuda: A fun, friendly party for Bears, Cubs, and other wildlife. It’s like a circuit dance party for the happy, furry set. I’ll blame the weather, but I had an amazing time. My good friend Gary Givant
was DJing and it's always a great to dance to his tunes. Gary is a
Billboard.com DJ and constantly has his feelers out for new tunes; he
seems to always have new, upbeat songs before anyone else. My opinion
may have been skewed by the hot muscle dudes tromping around, but it
seemed like just the perfect prescription to top-off the weekend.
