June 14, 2009 Sunday Morning

Exhausted! I feel like someone threw sand in my eyes. Had a very nice yesterday. Tony and I ended up going to Pridefest for the afternoon. Walked around till our feet hurt. The festival is along the Milwaukee lakefront. Pridefest is the first of the summer festivals at the lakefront grounds. The weather has been almost perfect. It was a bit chilly Friday night. Saturday I thought was comfortable since I like 60s and 70s. Today it is in the 70s. And no rain all weekend. It can be so hit and miss. I remember two years ago when it rained all weekend and attendance was so low it threatened the next years festival. Got bored walking around by 4:30 PM and headed home to rest a bit and feed the dogs. Met some friends down at Pridefest again last night by 7:30. Had a great time. Brandy was the on the main stage. By the end of the night Tony and I were dancing in the dance tent, me with my shirt open sweating up a storm. Haven't danced like that in a long long time. It reminded me of a 'freak fest' all the young kids and leather guys dancing and going nuts to the thumping beats. I was in heaven. Tony tried to smile and make the most of it moving as little as possible to the beats. We actually closed down the festival last night leaving at Midnight when it closed. We came home and didn't even turn on the TV, went straight to bed. I guess Deborah Cox is tonight along with September so we are going to have to go down to Pridefest grounds again tonight. So much to do today. The Locust street festival a block down the road we will get to by noon. Tony grow up in the neighborhood so he sees many people he knows or grew up with. Then we have to be downtown by 2 PM for the Pridefest parade. Always worth a few laughs and smiles. Then we will come back home and go back to Locust Street festival till about dinner time, feed the dogs and head down to Pridefest for the night. I am sure we will be there till closing again since the concerts don't start till after 7 PM. That is if they even start on time. No gay show ever seems to start on time. Drag show or concert, never. So, I have to get my tired butt to the shower so I can get the day going. I did make us a big eggs, sausage and toast breakfast so the day is on.
