Thank You, SP2012


I would like to thank the organizers the Board of Directors of Second Pride, the builders, the sponsors, the DJs, the performers, the vendors, the patrons, hell everyone that was involved whatever they did and whoever they were!

Sure there were a few glitches here and there, but to few to mention and nothing devastating. I have been going to Second Pride since 2008 and this was the best Pride ever!

Thank you all, I had a great time!

Missed Connections

(via J.M.G.)

Spinner explains the plot:
Jay Brannan is pretty shy, but not in his new video. The New York-based singer's latest clip for "Rob Me Blind" delves into a world of "missed connections," but instead of letting the feelings for a stranger fly away, he acts on them.
To set the scene, Jay is waiting for an elevator next to a man he's never met. The two exchange glances, and upon approaching every new floor, Brannan imagines his life with the mystery man.
"I'm way too shy to ever approach anyone on the street, on the subway, in an elevator or even at a bar," Brannan tells Spinner. "So it was fun to make a video involving chemistry-at-first-sight, where the characters didn't just end up going home to check the 'missed connections' listings on Craigslist."
The songwriter's latest album Rob Me Blind, is available now via Nettwerk. Check out the video for the title track below. Have you ever acted on a missed connection?

So, What Happened?

I am trying to understand what happened the last few days of my life, but it still doesn´t make any sense to me.

I was wholeheartedly enjoying Second Pride and having a good time being there and blogging about it, the first eleven days. On Tuesday it was like a trapdoor opened beneath me and I just fell into a grey haze. No feelings whatsoever and no dreams or thoughts either, just an all-encompassing weariness and fatigue.

During the 72 hours from Tuesday until Thursday, I must have slept through 60 of them. Every third or fourth hour I would wake up drink some and/or go to the bathroom. Most of the times I was only half-awake for about 30 minutes to an hour, sometimes up to four hours, but throughout I was still extremely drowsy.

Finally around noon on Friday I did wake up and started feeling somewhat alert. I was famished and heated one of those emergency-pizzas I keep in the fridge. After eating and watching some TV, I went back to bed and slept through the night.

Strange, really strange! *said with a French accent*

Gay Anthems for Second Pride 15

Village People

No list of Gay Anthems would ever be complete without these three, but I was so furious with the bastards for disabling embedding that, for a while, I thought I should exclude them.
