Not gonna make it this year. Didn't even begin to start making the shirt that will fer shure get me kicked out of the Park when I finally get around to wearing this one. This will be the third year in a row I've missed. Maybe GayDay and me are OVER.



Too bad. It's a great shirt idea.



Anyway, a bunch of us got tickets for the L.A. Weekly DetourFest, likely none of us ever realizing it was GayDay. Sorry.

I don't have one of those "straight but not narrow" t-shirts and probably wouldn't wear one if I had it -- not into logos or designs on shirts -- but I might make or find a "no on 8" button for my hat. Say hi if you see me on Saturday!

Gemini Cricket
09-30-2008, 10:39 AM
-- not into logos or designs on shirts --
I was thinking the same thing lately. I was thinking on it more in the vein of not being anyone's billboard. It's the latest thing I will protest doing in my ongoing battles with heartless corporations. Although, I don't know how to get labels off of shoes, though. So I guess I will have to go barefoot like my Hawaiian ancestors.

So the weather forecast varies from 'partly cloudy' to 'a few showers'.

Umm...I judging by the recent heat, if a cold front & low pressure system are approaching, there won't be much moisture associated with them. It'll probably be overcast & drizzly in the early morning, then it will become partly cloudy. That's my weather forecast.

I think I'm right about my forecast. The satellite image shows an approaching cold front:

I think there should be a squeal-off between the Marys and the Miley Cyrus fans in attendance this weekend.

innerSpaceman
10-01-2008, 04:25 PM
Yes, squeal off at 12:30 by crystal-sniffing twinks at the Matterhorny, right after Hungry Bear Bear's Lunch.



Oh, and the GOD HATES FANGS is on a church sign during the opening credits. The show is -in part- an allegory of the gay rights struggle, but with the gays being vampires. The allegorical aspects are just an undercurrent. It's a vampire show. They've "come out of the coffin" because synthetic blood is now available, and they're trying to mix in with regular society. Hilarity ensues.

As much as I like being surrounded by thousands of my brothers and sisters, I am depressed enough already and see no need to be shunned by all the happy, pretty people in red.

innerSpaceman
10-02-2008, 11:35 AM
Oddly enough, I haven't been back since Gay Day started getting really tired and old, and frankly boring to me. I circulated among some LoT folks what I thought was a great idea to spice it up with a quasi-MouseAdventure game that was very risque, and ya know, homo-erotic, but tremendous fun. (I don't know if anyone ever even read my proposal ... I know my then-boyfriend never bothered to.)

Yeah, it would have been a lot of work, and yeah we likely would have had our butts kicked out of the Park. But it would have revived the old fun of Gay Day. (And who knows what other effects it could have had on our butts if some really hot guys liked the game and took a shine to the organizers?)



So, coincidentally or not, I haven't been back to GayDay since. This will be the third year I've missed.

Don't hang out with the attitude queens. There are plenty of friendly gays.I don't deny there are, but I have never been able to locate them at Gay Days.

It has been my experience that the overwhelming demographic for Gay Days are one of the following: Couples having a good time on their own, not looking for a third wheel.
Tweaked out twinks who have absolutely no interest in even looking at someone not a clone of themselves, let alone even saying "hello" to.
I even went to the Bear gathering the last two years, thinking that they might be more amiable. I was mistaken. I might as well have been invisible.

innerSpaceman
10-02-2008, 01:03 PM
Hmmm, in all the years I attended, I never experienced anyone being snooty or such.

I had a boyfriend all those years, but we never vanted to be alone. We loved being with a big group of our gay and straight friends, on an unusually fun day at the Park precisely because everyone else seemed so outgoing and friendly -- obviously with the keen awareness we were all participating in a giant group funfest.



Alas it was the same fun-fest year after year, and so the vicious circle began of less friends attending, less fun, and even less friends attending.


Oi, now I'm never gonna get to go to a GayDay with Brad Cricket, one of my bestest gay pals.


Wanna meet me there for a quick couple of hours in the early morning, Mr. Cricket? It's killing me that we'll never do a GayDay together. Just seems wrong.

I saw 'em at the Garth Brooks concert too. Someone really awesome got me tickets for Garth.

I see nothing wrong with me checking out gay cowboys. Oil Can Harry's is rife with them. For the record, I don't go for straight guys. Ever. Did it once and it sucks. He was/is a cowboy too and now one of my best friends.

It's the old fashioned, down to earth qualities that attracts me...

Queers disgust me. How can they DO that stuff? Sure, I have no problem when my wife does it, and I even kiss her afterwards. But if a boy does that same exact thing ... well lemme tell ya, God gets angry.

JWBear
10-05-2008, 09:48 AM
Who's Omar?

We didn't spend much time with Cherny and BJ. He was kinda cute, on the thin side. He seems very quiet. (But maybe that's because, when you get a group of LoTers together, anyone would seem quiet in comparison!)

innerSpaceman
10-05-2008, 10:16 AM
Omar's SuPeR K!'s new beau, a really rad and sweet guy, Disneyland lover ... so i'm kinda suprised he wasn't there yesterday with K. Long-distance relationship, so why spend a boyfriend moment apart when you both love disneyland, both are so completely gay, and it's gayday at disneyland?

i'm sure there was some reason preventing. Too bad. Omar's rad.

BJ's very cool, too.


Did you meet Mark (skinnylycan)? He's also teh awesome. (But if you think BJ's skinny ...ooooh.)


Come to think of it, with the extended LoT crowd, we know quite a bunch of really cool queers. :D

He was kinda cute, on the thin side. He seems very quiet. (But maybe that's because, when you get a group of LoTers together, anyone would seem quiet in comparison!)

Haha he isn't usually THAT quiet; the weekend was just a little overwhelming for him -- he met like 50+ people from the course of Friday-Sunday (kept stopping me and going... "omg you know a lot of people"). He had a super good time though. Our shirts were a hit -- I'm sure there are photos up on MC that I can pull off. I think the event as a whole was better attended this year. At least, during the day I spotted more packs of redshirts than I did in years past. And I didn't hear any derisive comments from anyone all three days, which I thought was too frackin cool.

I do hope Beej wasn't put off by all the people going, "what? ummm.. WHAT? YOU have a boyfriend?" :D Pfffffft. ;)

It was great spending time with you crazy LoTters... heh I wish we had spent more time with JWBear, we were playing Disneyland Phone Tag all day and only ended up on one ride together!

And yes, y'all who haven't will meet the mysterious and sexy BJ soon (he is pretty skinny... he weighs a little more than me and hes 6' tall)-- if not on the 25th, then on Bats Day or some such event. :)

OK it's off to the first day of my new job!!!

I was there with some other friends. Lots of red shirts, lots of No on 8 stickers. Had a blast.

We found someone with spare No on 8 stickers so I had one of those. The people with "Yes on 8 - I love my marriage" shirts made AVP cry.

Fun couple of days.

Looked for you anyway, because I didn't see this ^ until just now.

I took a photo in Frontierland at the Pioneer Mercantile.

Saw Cherny and BJ from a distance, but sadly, didn't get to say hello.

from The Advocate:
Gay Days at Disneyland: Part Celebration, Part Fiasco (http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid63116.asp)

It's a three-page report on some of the unfortunate behavior exhibited by a few rotten eggs at Gay Gays this past weekend. I found at least two very interesting things in that report: A debate spark about whether us homos should be on our "best behavior" or essentially let Disneyland become WeHo South.
The author, who may not be a Disneyland geek like us, describing California Adventure as "a carnival-themed park affiliated with Disneyland." :eek: :D

While I agree inappropriate gayhavior is really uncool at Disneyland, I always shrug off the antics of a few who are free to disregard that opinion.

Sigh, but I feel a bit stronger about it a month before the Prop h8te election. Too bad not everybody does. It shocks me how many (especially young) gays don't really give a damn about the likihood of breakthrough civil rights being reversed in California.

But then I remember ... most kids are nimrods. Gay or straight. Sigh, it's just too bad. :rolleyes:
