SOHO Pride
This past Sunday, Blake and I headed down to SOHO to attend their little Pride celebration. Aside from the restaurants putting tables out into the street, thereby getting in the way of the men drinking in the streets, SOHO Pride was pretty much just like any other night out. Actually there were so many straight women milling about that I felt like I was back home at The Connection!
Billed as "The West Ends Gayest Square Mile", this was basically just a big street party. Unfortunately the streets were so packed with people (and tables) that a person couldn't do much more than stand in one spot and drink ... which is exactly what we did.
Speaking of drinking, I have recently been introduced to the pleasures of cider. Mixed drinks are so expensive plus all that orange juice gives me reflux (god I'm getting old) and I've never been a beer drinker, so I figured I'd give beer's fruity cousin a try. I really like it. It's very refreshing and, P.S., I look like I'm drinking beer so I feel just a smidgen butch. Of course, saying "smidgen" will cancel out any butchness that drinking something that looks like beer would give me.
