Current mood: hopeful
This summer, while starting cold, has really picked up.
Yesterday I went to a Pride brunch at a friend's friend's house before the parade. Had a nice chat with one of the boy's moms and drank champagne at 10:30am. Those gay boys sure know how to do it up right. Since I never manage to see an entire Pride parade, I figured I wouldn't try this year, and instead went to the Powell Street Festival with Rachel, Nathan and Augusten to try to recapture natsu matsuri. We had takoyaki and kakimizu, and I watched Nathan scarf down so much food I thought his belly would explode. Tony left a message to bbq on the beach, so Bob picked me up and we headed over to R&N's to pick up the stuff and the baby. Had Stampede burgers with bacon and cheese, chipotle potato salad (recommended), broccoli and bacon salad, and apple pudding cake. The weather was fantastic and the air was warm but not too warm. We threw a frisbee around a little and basically sat around chuckling about a baby at another area crying constantly for almost an hour.
This weekend I also went to see a soccer game with my sister and Dairn. He's never played, so it was weird to try to remember rules and such enough to explain it to him. We went for beer and wings after and Anita ranted a bit about the US. The game whet my interest for more sporting events, so I think a trip to Nat Bailey is in order.
Also saw the fireworks on Saturday from the rooftop of my friends' building. Lovely view, and we immediately ate ice cream and cake when it finished. Strongbow in bottles! Hotdogs! Perogies! I was a little overwhelmed by the large number of people I didn't know, but managed to sit away for a while and absorb.
Friday is the third annual Skatomatic Rooftop Party. Should be a good one.
