Disneyland Gay Days 2007
I won't bore people with the rides, the thrills, and the park, after all it is Disneyland.
Some of the highlights....
-Mickeys Trick or Treat. California Adventure closed to the general public so event ticket holders (us) could get in at 6:30 and do some trick or treating and ride the rides. The park was pretty empty and lines short. They had trick or treat points set up throughout the park and we got some good candy. I was rushing from all the sugar. This is why I grew up because the candy became my dinner.
Aquaman was well known at Disney. The security entrance questioned my costume only to be shot down by her partner "it is a costume".
A girl approaches and tells me her friend would like a picture with me and is too shy to ask. When I agree and stand next to her friend, they stated "no, the other side". I graciously turned around so they could take a picture of my ass.
On another note, I got to spend time with Brutus who I have only met a couple of times. He's such a great pup and a nice person. Its times like this, you can actually get to know someone.
David was there on Friday evening but on a separate trip with his posse. We managed to connect on and off and cross over between each world. I gave him his birthday present which was 5 different Lego type Bufffy figures that can transform (Oz transforms to werewolf Oz etc...).
I always have a great time with the group and Daddy Richard gave me some lessons with the single tail. I will be getting one soon and should be up to speed using fairly quickly. I still could crack it circus style from when I was 9 and my dad bought me a real whip.
As for the rest of the time, I spent it at the park. They reopened the submarine ride as Finding Nemo and revamped the Pirates of the Carribean to look more like the movie. The Haunted Mansion was all decked out and The Nightmare Before Christmas exploded inside. *sigh* I love Zero.
It was sad saying goodbye to those who live far away. I'm looking forward to next year and making it an annual event.

Folsom Street Fair 2007
So the day ended up being a big blur for me. We hung out with the pups for a bit and got some free paddles from the AIDS Life Cycle booth. I had 2 pups in tow but found myself a nice dog walker to lead them around. Its nice having a sub to do the work lol.
David broke 2 paddles and I busted a ping pong paddle belonging to a friend of mine. David was nice enough to take my punishment for me. He was flogged once again and enjoyed it.
Finally we hit the Eagle for a bit and then finally caught a ride with some strangers back to Castro. Hit the Edge for a quick cocktail and David and I got some Chinese take out.
Today my company leaves. I'm sad to see them go but will see them all again next year if not at Folsom then at IML.
Tonight is Heroes and this Thursday will be Disneyland. I'm really looking forward to both.
