End of the Summer
OK, now THAT was fun!
Adrian and I just got back from a weekend at Rehoboth Beach with some old friends and some new ones. Dan owns a house there and invited us up – 12 staying at the house, and a couple other folks on day trips – to spend the Labor Day weekend. I hadn’t met Dan before but he’s a friend of Angelo and Josh and other friends of ours, and Adrian did his hair last week. He must have liked it, because that was when he invited us.
Anyway, after taking a wrong turn heading up Friday night we got there after 3 ½ hours (everyone else came up either Thursday or earlier Friday). Dan, Troy, Ron and Scott were at the house (that was the first time we met Ron and Scott, who are an adorable couple), and the other boys soon returned from the clubs. After watching Ron mix his Ambien sleeping pill with his vodka we realized it couldn’t get much more entertaining than that, so off we went to bed.
Saturday was Adrian’s birthday (his 30th – Happy Birthday, babe!) so I hung back to help Troy with some of the grocery shopping and also pick up Adrian’s cake. In the meantime, Vu was doing a photo shoot with Dayna while Dan helped by doing her makeup. Vu had a crazy idea, then Dana let me borrow some things, and Dan applied some magic, and BOOM, we suddenly had a plan for Adrian’s celebration…more to follow on that…
We made it to the beach where the weather was gorgeous and of course so were the guys. Dan and Jovan arrived just for a few hours but it was fun that they got to join us. Rueben and Pra’kash were also in town and joined us there. Danny and I headed into the water with Bob and Mike and some of the other boys and I about lost my suit when the first wave hit me (Scott was NOT kidding when he suggested tightening the drawstring – I kinda mooned the beach and no, there are no pics of that. As far as I know.). I managed to get thrown around by a few rough waves and it wasn’t until I got back to our towels that I realized I was bleeding from both knees where I’d been dragged along the bottom. I just told people I’d forgotten to bring my kneepads and they pretty much accepted that without question. Which makes me wonder what they think of me. Hmmmm…
Saturday night we had a great barbeque dinner and then it was time for Adrian’s birthday. Danny, Dan and Vu ran upstairs with me to do a quick transformation and yes, Adrian was VERY surprised. And kinda moved, I think…I’ve never done this before but I thought he’d appreciate the effort, and I think he did, especially because I had to shave my chest. I gave him his gifts, and then after cake I changed back quickly and most of us headed out dancing. Yay!!
Sunday was more of the same, cute boys and beautiful weather. We met some great new folks, including Erick from DC. We saw the drag volleyball, at which time I learned that Danny was not familiar with Hairspray (something we should be fixing this week). And, perhaps most importantly, I managed to avoid a serious sunburn. Hooray for not destroying my skin!!
After dinner Sunday night we went out for drinks, where Danny paid a waiter to take a shot in his mouth and then pass it to Danny…and afterwards, Danny had to go into the men’s room to wash cranberry juice out of his pants where it spilled down. We ran home for a quick costume change then went out to the big party at the convention center, which had a good DJ and a nice light show. We ran into Erick and some of the other guys from earlier in the day…in fact, the crowd at any club is mostly the same people as the beach. We closed it out around 2:30am and were definitely ready for some sleep last night.
Today I got up because someone was cooking sausages and they smelled sooooooooo gooooooooood. One thing I have to say, the food was really good this weekend, which not be too surprising considering just how gay everyone is. Josh makes some amazing cinnamon rolls and Troy’s hamburgers were huge and yummy. Anyway, after cleaning up the house and making sure it’s ready for Dan’s sister and her family next weekend (which means all the naked man playing cards had to be picked up) we headed back, and the drive was certainly different in the daylight. And also, we knew where we were going.
So, we got to spend some time with old friends, get to know some other friends better, and meet some new ones, and it was a GREAT weekend. I’ve missed doing stuff with friends like that and I’m so glad we had a chance to spend some good, relaxing, fun times with good people.
Time to start planning for next summer…

Did Josh happen to mention any stories involving a trick taking the wrong contacts home with him at the beach?
Dear Adrian,
Happy belated birthday, eat a hamburger, you skinny bitch. I say that with envy, and love.
*looks at stomach*
Yeah, envy and love.
Smooches to you both, glad you had such a great time!
