  The Big Gay Weekend

This weekend is Utah Pride.  I have gone year after year and it's just gotten bigger and bigger.  I don't know if there are more gays or more gay friendly people but last year, it was over 30,000 people.

Friday night my friends and I are having a house party.  We decided since the 2 lesbian bars are doing a (1) White Party and (2) Black Party, we should do a Plaid Party.  Just because it's a funny generalization about lesbians that we wear plaid flannel.  I'm actually going to have to go to a 2nd hand store and find one.  I'm also in charge of doing the music.  They wanted very "gay" music so of course there will be tons of Ani, Tegan & Sarah and Melissa. 

Saturday we will walk around the booths and listen to a few bands.  Last year the music was amazing with many good talents but this year, the lineup looks a little drab.  That night we will head to the bar where I work and help the girls in the kitchen get orders out.  I only agreed to help if I could still drink and watch the band. 

Sunday is the Big Day when I have volunteered to pour beer from 2:30 - 6:00 at the beer booth.  All tips go to charity but they are having a contest to see which bar can serve the most beer.  We got a good time slot so I think we may be able to do pretty good.  Plus, the bar I work at is a big beer bar with over 35 to choose from, we area all very good at pouring and pouring fast.  When we are done there, we head back to the bar  I work at for another night of serving food and helping out.  After the bar closes, the employees are welcome to stay for an employee party.  If I am not dead tired, I may stick around for it.

I took Monday off for a personal day. (All gays should get the day after Pride weekend off)  I will be sleeping until noon and spending the rest of the day on my couch with my g/f and a stack of movies.

Sounds like fun! I used to love to serve beer. I must be getting old or something because just the thought of being around so much alcohol makes me tired. Enjoy your weekend.

I plan to stay sober most the weekend because I KNOW I will be too tired to do it all if I drink.

Oh, that sounds like SO much fun!! I want to go! That's funny about the stereotype that all lesbians wear plaid. I think all the lesbians I know are often some of the best dressed, unless they're wearing their hockey gear... another stereotype, but that might only apply to Canadian lesbians.
