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?" 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!!!

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.

For Brad:


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

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:

1. A debate spark about whether us homos should be on our "best behavior" or essentially let Disneyland become WeHo South.
2. The author, who may not be a Disneyland geek like us, describing California Adventure as "a carnival-themed park affiliated with Disneyland."

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.

Well, he got that right.
