Brrrrrr
New York was FUN last weekend!!! despite USAir's best efforts, I managed to get there only a little later than I expected Friday night. After a quick cab into the city I got ready and headed out to The Web for some dancing and cute guys and more dancing. the music was good, and even though it wasn't quite as crowded as usual on a Friday night (according to one of the bartenders, anyway) there were polenty of guys to dance with and chat with and maybe give a goodnight kiss to. Oh, and at least one cute go-go boy...hi Christian!
In bed by 4 and up again at 10, it was time for a little shopping. NYC was kinda chilly but it was beautiful otherwise, and with all the walking around I stayed pretty warm. I did a little Christmas shopping at places that don't exist here in DC (i.e., Canal Street) and hit on a cute barrista at Starbucks. (How could I not? He was wearing a rabies tag as a necklace!) That evening found me meeting up with Jase and his friends for some drinks and groping at The Ritz. They were a fun bunch, and it was great to finally meet Jase after reading his blog for over a year. A shame his boopy couldn't come with him, but hey, that just made it easier to talk about how nice he is.
I'd planned to head back to The Web but had gotten advice earlier in the day that Roxy was more the place to be. But by the time I left the Ritz it was 1:30 and I was in no mood to shell out 25 bucks for a couple hours at the club, so I ended up going back to The Web after all. It wasn't all that crowded but I had another drink (which I probably didn't need) and had a cute guy try to fix me up with his not-so-cute friend. Hmmmmm. Anyway, I was back to the hotel by 3:30 or so, figuring I should sleep a few hours anyway.
Sunday I was up and waiting for Scooter and Chris and suddenly there they were, with Scooter looking even more Asian than before with his long hair tied into some sort of bun on the back of his head. I can't describe it right, but it was hot! We walked down to Food Bar for brunch...last time I was there was Labor Day Weekend, and it was a little more crowded this time, which was fun. Chris got hit on heading out of the bathroom from someone who looked like a grandfather, and that just made it all the better. We wandered through Chelsea and the Village, window shopping and getting coffee and walking through porn stores and walking through porn stores...oh, wait, I said that already. The day passed too quickly in my humble opinion...Scooter is a dear, old (well, he's 25, but you know what I mean) friend whose blog I started reading back in 1999 or 2000, and the last time I saw these boys was in March of 2004 in Montreal, before they moved to NYC so Scooter could go to grad school at NYU and then start working in urban planning. I look forward to seeing them more often, they're a great couple of guys.
Home this week, just getting through a lot of stuff at work, putting up a Christmas tree with Adrian the other night, lunch with Arlington Michael today, then Friday I'm off again, Toronto-bound. It's supposed to be right around freezing this weekend with snow on Friday...hopefully Jerwin knows some warm places!!!
