HAPPY PRIDE BITCHES!

This weekend was such a blur, a fun blur, but a blur just the same. First off...I kicked off the weekend with an HIV test (didn't see THAT coming did you?); I wasn't worried, I play safe and I'm not that much of a whore. Still, I try to get tested every 6 months or so. Many, many thanks to the fine people at the Center on Halstead! They made the 30 minutes both informative and stress-free (I freak the fuck OUT when I'm waiting for test results). But good news...NEGATIVE! Can I get a WOOT or what? WOOT!

Sooo. PRIDE! Yes, was so much fun. My buddy had a backpack full of booze, and we drank, oh, WE DRANK. Although I was not able to meet up with various friends because of the insane crowds, we still had a lot of fun. Here's some pics...

Afterwards, my friend's friend invited us to a pool party; you ever see those generic looking high rises in Lincoln Park? The ones with the pool deck above the parking garages? Well, this was like that. For $10 I got a wristband that allowed me to rape the shit out of a keg of beer. The only downside was that the winds whipping off the lake were so fierce, that the beer was literally flying out from my cup.

And then we went to the beach! You people on the left and right coasts are missing out on the awesome-ness that is Lake Michigan. To be able to frolic in one of the largest bodies of fresh water anywhere, is a joy second to none. It kicks ASS.

Meanwhile, I need to rid my place of sand! WOOT! Cheers folks!
