What Does Pride Mean To Me
Pride means living every breathing moment of your goddamn life fully who you are. Pride means NEVER allowing anyone to tell you that you are less than amazing. Pride means not relegating the celebration of your freedom to be fabulous to one overcast weekend in June.
I hate holidays. Always have. The idea of paying lip service to pride and honor and respect for anything (mothers, ourselves, veterans), and then going back to forgetting about the matter for the rest of the year is no way to live your life. If you dare to march down Halsted in a 20-foot wig and rainbow boa, you'd better be prepared to wear that same outfit to the grocery store, church, your grandmama's house or anywhere else.
OK, tirade subsided.
If you see the Spread this week, you will see just how hard I have worked to put this issue together. From the bizarre cover to the full bar coverage, this is certainly a labor of love.
Having been so busy, the individual events have become a blur. If you want the story, just look at all the great pictures from points far and wide.
Taylor Roberts is glad to announce that she has taken the title of Miss Continental Wisconsin. Stop in to Charlie's and kiss her square on the lips. Which lips is up to her discretion at the moment.
Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen at Encompass put on a hell of a show. What a filthy, filthy bitch! I'm gonna see her more often.
Stopped in to see DJ Tony Moran at Hydrate. I was awash in a sea of sweaty, hot bodies undulating to the uncontrollable beats. I'm cumming still. THE place to go for world-class DJs is Hydrate.
The hottest boys I met all weekend were at The Patch, of all places. Don't worry, girls, the women were plenty hot and plentiful as well.
Jackhammer is back in the game with their new renovations. Apparently, they are at 75%, with many more exciting changes to come. Stopped in last night and had my world-class Long Island Iced Tea knocked to ground by some drunk bitch I won't mention. Let's just say there was so much liquor spilled that I had to 'wade' through it to get to the john to freshen up.
Thanks to Darcy at Clark's for being a top-notch wrangler. We'll be working together in the future quite a bit.
Party safe, party hard, tell me all about it. Kirk loves you all very much.
