how saturday became the best pre-anniversary/gay reunion EVER
Remember my bitchy post on Friday? The one where I whined and whined about how Jesse and I would need to share our pre-anniversary celebration with his friend’s birthday? Well, turns out Saturday ended up being all about us (and all of my favorite gays).
We met up with my boys Dave and Enzo for pre-parade food and drinks. We were in the mood for the margaritas so we dined at La Frontera on 17th on the patio. Unfortunately, we were not seated under an umbrella, so we were melting as quickly as the ice in our margarita pitchers. After lunner (lunch + dinner), we claimed a spot to watch the parade. Soon after, we were visited by my favorite party gay, Jason (the friend that brought Jesse and me together), and we settled down to watch the parade.
Jason, Jesse, and me…reminiscing on that fateful day 3 years ago
Mayor Fenty shows his love for the gays (random photog got in the way of my shot)
The be bar school bus seemed to be a popular hangout
The Freddie’s Beach Bar float was soaking the crowd.
Support from the PFLAG-ers makes my eyes teary every year
The Remington’s boys are always a crowd fave.
The Results Gym float celebrated the upcoming opening of their new location on Connecticut and L St.
How cute are the Zipcar peeps?
Speaking of cute peeps…here are Jason and Jesse…
And my boys, cuties Dave and Enzo
Finally, to wrap up my gay reunion, here I am with my boo, Rene, who finally got to meet Jesse
Three years later and we’re right back where we started…
AND he still gives me butterflies!
We didn’t quite make it to the birthday party (which had a little something to do with my tripping on the sidewalk and scraping up my leg pretty bad). Instead, Jesse and I went home and he bandaged me up and took care of me.
Even though I’m still in some pain because of that fall, it was still the most fun I’ve had at the Pride Parade since I met Jesse.
