Weekend Extravaganza with Friends

[kybearfuzz]

Whew! What a weekend! I'm still a bit wired, believe it or not.

There really wasn't any "post-artum depression" (as brilliantly coined by prisoncitybear) after posting issue #8 of "Grizzly and the Bear Patrol" on Thursday night. I appreciate the comments and feedback. I even geeked out and rushed to get a printed copy for my file at home. I wont lie, it looks so cool when it's printed out. I am sure this is how I looked when the Kinko's guy gave them to me.

The best part of the weekend was the visit from mikiedoggie, his boyfriend John, and their lovely dog, Boomer the Wonder Dog TM. Mikie came down for his annual trek to Pride Night at King's Island. Though the weather wasn't entirely cooperative, it was a GREAT evening. The best part of Pride Night is seeing everybody come out for the rides. So many friends and so many handsome bears! I only got a handful of photos, but you can click the pic below for the set on Flickr.


The 2012 Crew - Me, Mike (mikiedoggie), Chris(kybigstew), Derek (_decibel_), John, Justin, and Brian (cincycub)

On Saturday, John and Mike wanted to go to the Cincinnati Reds game. In my 14 years of living here, I've never been to a game. The team in 1995 ticked me off by going on strike when I had tickets to the game. Thinking them spoiled-rotten super-athletes (not that they aren't), I just wrote the whole team off. I'll eat some crow here, because I had a great time. There is something about being at the field that you don't feel watching it on TV. I'll be more likely to do it again now.

Like true Reds fans, we left after the 7th inning. We were hungry and getting tired. Luckily, the Reds managed to win without us those last two innings.

It was a great Pride Night Weekend. I'm already looking forward to next year.

yay, fun. Earlier this year I had been thinking about coming out to see my Columbus friends and joining them for gay night at KI since they go every year. One of these days I'll make it. Always looks like a good time!

It is a lot of fun. You should seriously consider coming next year :)

last year when I decided I wouldn't being doing Southern Decadence this year I had pretty much planned on going to KI, but well... the year and some finance crap got in the way. Maybe next year! I know Dave and Robert always go.

The guy in the chicken-car shirt was just pretending to have a good time so Mark wouldn't feel bad. [sticks tongue out at Mark]

Um... yeah... that's it! [returns raspberry!]

Thanks again for hosting us Mark! I'm glad you finally got to meet John, especially now that we are all official with the dating and stuff. That only took 3+ years. Ha!

I love the group shot! There must have been a height requirement to be out with you at the amusement park. You're all about the same size! :)

LOL... well, you know those "you must be this tall to ride" signs you see at parks? They have one at the entrance to get in. :)
