Rave - June 23rd

PRIDE WEEKEND

Oh yes, it’s that time again. The time when national supplies of glitter and flavored vodka run dangerously low. The time when the fringe (read: absolutely crazy) churches blow their budgets on trips to modern day Sodom (read: any city with a gay population.) The time when the UNST UNST UNST rings out clearly, beckoning all to it’s enveloping sounds.

Yes, my dears, Pride Weekend is here!

This year I intend to enjoy every minute of it. I’ve run every errand I could possibly need to run. Suitable clothing (read: flattering) has been chosen. And I have nothing to do this weekend beside get my gay on. Please note: “get my gay on” is not a euphemism. It’s just something e’ery gay man knows how to do.

Things I’m looking forward to this weekend:

1. Sun – the weather is supposed to be gorgeous. For some reason, knock on wood, we always seem to have clear weather on Pride weekend.
2. People watching – oh child, this is it’s own reward. Pride brings out all kinds. You and your friends just have to walk down the street and you can see some sights that’ll make you stop and pull a, “Harpo, who dis woman?” Either that or a “What in the gay hell?!”
3. Remixes – pride weekend is when you hear nonstop remixes of popular songs. Ever heard Prince sing “Mary Had A Little Lamb” sampled with David Bowie and Tupac? Well, batten down the hatches, because it’s about to happen. Remixes are equally great and horrid.

DICTIONARY TIME!!

UNST UNST UNST – (noun) 1. house music common found in gay bars. Makes your ears ring, your pupils dilate, your back pop, and your booty twerk.

Harpo, who dis woman? – 1. used when you genuinely have no idea who someone is; as seen in The Color Purple and delivered by O-Prah.
