NYC Pride Was A Blast

[MWSommer]

I will have some pictures up and Fair from Dickmag.com may put some up too.

Michelle and I went and had a lot of fun and did a lot of work. It was a little hotter and more humid than we are used to in LA. Who knew you could squeeze so many people onto little tiny Christopher St. I was expecting fire escapes or buildings to collapse under the weight of so many people. Andy and his boyfriend Rob threw a terrific party at their spacious digs in the Village.

I strongly endorse NYC Pride to all of our industry peers for great direct to consumer marketing. They are quite vocal about what they do and dont like.

I would like to thank Mansites.com - Craig, Mary & Dwayne, CCbill - Patrick and Doug, Bedfellow - Karl Edwards for sponsoring the great party at Route 85A.

Now we all need to rest till Florida. Except that this weekend is another holiday. Damn!!

Good Evil

I'd love to hit up NYC Pride one of these days... were it not for the fact that I really, REALLY dislike NYC. I dunno... I feel too claustrophobic there. Buildings are too tall, there are too many of them, and they're all too close together. *shivers*

The lesbians at the El Pollo Loco down the street have been asking where you and Michelle have been.

You make yourself sound like someone from the wide open prairies. You do like in the second largest megapolis inthe country. And the one with the worst traffic and pollution.

NYC is great.

i was talking to craig about NYC pride yesterday and it sounds like it was a total blast. I'm going to have to make it out there next year for sure.

[Socket2Jake]

I missed it this year but was glad to get to experience San Fran pride since I had never done that before, and was in NYC last year. I couldn't believe how HUUUUGE it is in San Fran!

And I've realized I do like that city more and more every time I go....pretty, spread out enough, lots of gays...kinda like L.A. but too many hills and too foggy :)

I loved New York Pride. Great turnout. Andy and Rob from Dick Mag were great hosts.

Houston? =P

I'd rather be stuck in LA traffic than New York traffic. In LA traffic, you get to stare off in to the distance, take in the grand vistas, see the snow-capped mountains off on the horizon and the palm trees, brilliant sun, and blue skies. In New York traffic, what do you get? The facades of buildings? The insides of a subway tunnel? Blech.

When Americans pursued their manifest destiny and headed out west, they found vast, open expanses of land (after givin' the Native Americans the boot, that is) that eventually spawned wide open cities; urban centers stretching out mile upon endless mile, rather than jampacked in to a lil cluster of land a la Europe or New England. And that's how I like it.

Give me space! And ocean. And I'm happy. 8)

Yeah but in L.A. they never throw out their garbage.

They just recycle it into Hollywood movies and television shows.

That is PURE unadulterated entertainment! Drama

[MWSommer]

I think we are all adulterated entertainement :-)

and that we even consider any hyperurbanized space wide open is proof of that. maybe the sky is easier to see in LA but other than right after rain we really cant see the snowcapped mountains that ring the city. And most of the time our sky is vaguely brownish and everything is covered in that infamous LA soot.

I kind of the like the festering teeming masses effect in NYC and some of the older cities in the US and europe.

[BDBionic]

That's cuz you live in West Hollywood, miles from the ocean.

I live in Long Beach, just a few blocks away from the ocean. Our cool ocean breezes blow the pollution either out to sea (and make for gorgeous red, orange, yellow, and purple sunsets) or blow it all inland to the 909. :D

You mean you live close to that cesspool known as South Bay with the oil islands that have been oozing tar and oil into the water for decades?

[BDBionic]

no no. South Bay is on the complete other side of the Palos Verdes peninsula. I'm well south of that.

Long Beach! And dirty cargo ship oil doesn't affect the cool ocean breezes and bright blue skies. Let the fish worry about that shit. There's no waves in the port, anyways, so it's not like there's any surfing there.
