On Previous Pride weekends I've clubbed all up and down Capitol Hill alone. Sure, it was lonely at times, but I got to meet new people, e.g. adoptive lesbian couple J&J, and I loved the spontaneity and not knowing quite was going to happen.
This year? Maybe not so much. One of the women from my night with the Welcoming Committee, a dimpled and spicy-brained cutie of about 30, has proposed meeting up after the trans march on Friday night and hitting the - wait for it - Wildrose. I accepted, natch. Then the Siberian Siren asked if I was hitting the street fair on Broadway on Saturday afternoon. Of course. Well, then I need to bring something grillable for a barbecue at her place Saturday night. And today the Islander proposed going to the Mercury on Saturday night. I'd been considering hitting the Merc anyway, even though it's a usual haunt, because hey, these days it's hands down the most trans-friendly bar in the city. Oh, and the Tickler wants to meet up sometime this weekend - I proposed it first, weeks ago - but we haven't nailed down a time.
So yes, lady attention! Which I've craved for years! But is it a good thing just this weekend? Watch this space either Sunday night or Monday to find out. I'm not about to look this gift horse in the mouth and disappoint my fans.

But every time I do go, the drinks are strong and hella cheap, everyone is really friendly and welcoming to me & each other, and people may be flirty in a fun way but no one ever makes me feel uncomfortable. Q went to the Narwhal recently and a double whiskey coke was $16. I ordered one at the mercury and it was $7 but also was really more like a quad whiskey coke.
Oh, and if you haven't been to the "female focused" board game night, I recommend it, it's really fun and dj morgue anne played hilarious and awesone music
