Pride Night 2010

[kybearfuzz]

The weekend was a busy, but fun one.

I picked up mikiedoggie from a downtown Cincinnati street corner Thursday night (after his bus ride). I drove up and solicited him, getting no reaction from the lady standing next to him. Heh!

Friday was *Pride Night* at King's Island. I look forward to this night all year long. It really is the best night to go. For six hours, there are relatively no lines for the rides. You are surrounded by friends you've met, friends you've only chatted online with but finally get to meet, and new friends you get to discover. I hate to wax philosophical, but it really does feel that way.

I took only a few photos and some of those didn't turn out right because my camera was on the wrong setting for evening shots. You can click the frightened Mikie for the set. Check out his set as they are MUCH better.

On Saturday, Mikie, Derek (_decibel_), and I went out for a great burger, Graeter's ice-cream, and a visit to the downtown beer fest. Calories galore! Saturday night, Mike and I went to the Levee to hang out with Derek's handsome hubby Chris (kybigstew) for appetizers, drinks, and abusing our trainee server named Will. With the help of his trainer Ashley, we called him every name but Will (including "Wont"). He gave as well as he got and ended up being tipped separately for the onslaught.

Sunday I dropped Mikie off at the bus stop and crashed. Laundry, nap, run, TV, lazy afterward.

I took today off to clean out the closets for Goodwill. Yay :)

I'm definitely going to Pride Night next year! I didn't know if there was a ladies' contingent, but apparently there is. My partner went and he had a great time!

Apropos of our conversation on your LJ about payment last week, and now reading that you solicited the solicitor, all I can hear in my mind's ear is Donna Summer's Bad Girls.

So, what did you end up paying?

I have been to King's Island before, but it was a very long time ago.

I had to telephone my mother to confirm it, this morning. Since my parents were both from the Cincinnati area, we would often visit my late father's parents during the summertime. They lived near Hebron, Kentucky on a farm. After my late grandfather retired, he sold his farm and moved to my hometown in Arizona. Now, I understand that his former farm is owned by a major league sports star! ;-)

I know so many guys that went to Kings Island Friday, I sure wish I'd been there too!
