Gay Pride 2010

Some of my colorful coworkers :)

As this Boston Pride comes to a close, I decided to give my brief synopsis of my experience. It started with my new night Vice @ Machine Nightclub. That was the calmest night. On the following Friday, I was working security door detail at Ramrod and it was...colorful. After a long night of telling people to leave their drinks inside (we need a sign), I jetted home to sleep to be up for a gig for Guerilla Queer Bar at 11am. Upon getting there, there was an audio problem that prevented me from playing. The only thing that was left to do was to watch the parade pass by and then try to enjoy a little bit of the festivities.

Another night of working (behind the bar this time) and the 30 plus hours of work in 48 hours led me to collapse in bed and not wake up 9pm. I had a goal of making enough to take care of a pressing matter. Let's just say, it's not pressing as much, but still feeling the squeeze.

So that brings us to now...just updated my photo on Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, and every other social networking network to this....


I am the chief promoter and talent for this evening. Nerve racking, but lots of fun as well. Alright, I am going to go back to looking for another job. My days at Aramark are coming to an end....As soon as I get an interview, I will get it and bid the lovely people of Aramark a fond fairwell. Oh and if you aren't doing anything tonight...I am having a bday thing at Dirty Sexy Mondays tonight. Come by if you have a liver left after this weekend.


P.S.
Went to Clubbies during the festivities...Can't believe I used to work there.

TONIGHT!

Let's Get It Poppington!!

....god, I am in love with Nicki Minaj!

Any who, there are some interesting things going on, namely more people coming out to Edge Fridays for yours truly (which i am truly grateful for). I have also started a new LESBIAN night at Club Choices in Somerville. Not the typical ladies' night, but we are going to have some exciting things going on, so stay tuned and bring yourselves out!

Back to the grind, children!
See you in the funny papers!

Well, it begins again. The loss of appetite, the constant worrying, the fear of it all. It's not the college students coming back to Boston. It's the fact that I might wind up in the hordes of the newly homeless. 7 days ago, I received an eviction notice due to a promo job that was reported as being income. This has happened before and caused an agreement that I had to become null and void. Or so says the lovely people that run this apartment complex.

I am more angry than anything. I have managed to get together the funds to pay it off, but I am worried that I might still be out on my ear. The process is long (thank god) to get to that point and I will have found another place to stay. In all honesty, I am glad this happened. This neighborhood is volatile and toxic. One of the many vestiges that need to be shed in order to start a new.

The sore spot is that my family has been in this neighborhood since the end of slavery and I feel it's an end to an era. I can only hope that my mother is looking down and saying it's o.k. to let go of this place. Life is bigger than this block, and I am remaining steadfast that I will now be able to being again and start off with a clean slate.

A final note, for any of my other folks that are living in HUD housing....get out while you can. Anyway how, just do it.

Off to spin away the problems of the day..

Talk soon,

well hello...

it's been a while since my last post, but here are the long and short of things.
-i have cried myself to sleep every night racked with guilt and regret.
-i started smoking weed again to deal with problems (which now i am abstaining from)
- the guys i like still don't like me and want to have nothing to do with me unless it's sexual (and most times; not even then).
- i went to me and shane's special place today and was reminded at every turn that i miss him and wish he was there to experience it with me.
- i have a gum infection and need to get it treated asap.
- that i am alone and love will not come back to me anytime soon.
- that there is nothing more painful than losing someone to suicide.
- that i need to get my shit together and pick up the pieces for the umpteenth time in a row.
- that i love me more than anyone else.

that is all

One Pride Gig Down...3 to go!

There is a special feeling in the city this week. Aberzombies are getting their highlights, Baby Dykes are pressing their button ups, Drag Queens are roaming the city in full regalia..It's PRIDE Week in the (insert Menino mumbel here)cityofboston. This would be Pride no. 5 for me and to be honest, I am kinda over it.

If there was either more of a party vibe and/or more of what PRIDE is actually about, it might be a bit more interesting. As for now, it's parties, marches, and assorted other shit. This is a particularly busy time for me; getting back into djing and finding a new audience to play to. That part is exciting and scary at the same time. But, after this weekend, I will be o.d.'ing on all things queer......

That is until I jump on the bus and go to NY Pride..Heeey!

Last night @ Umbria, the girls had a good time and that is all that matters. I had some tech issues, but then I always do. As long as the ladies enjoyed themselves, my problems fall by the wayside.

Tonight, it's DISCO DIVAS at Club Cafe. So this should be interesting...Let's see how this plays out.
