CHICAGO PRIDE WAS AMAZING!
Sunday, June 27, 2010 at 4AM a nice handful of people got on the coach bus for the trip to Chicago. It had stopped at Owensburo first to pick up a few people from there. Then it made its wat to Evansville
Saturday night, when i had planned on getting ready at Alex's house like I mentioned in my other post, had totally failed on me and everything screwed up. Alex's sister went into labor. So she had to be at the hospital all day. Thus, leaving me to do my hair and stuff. Luckily I was with Chris Brace that night and he had a straightener. We ended up making it look somewhat good but the bad part is we were going to a party and his boyfriend's friend's house. This was about at 10PM where it's still somewhat hot and now all the bugs are out, and of course, we were outside.
My hair started curling up from the sweat and I had bug spray on so no more mosquitoes would bite me. It was awful and I felt disgusting. I wasn't going to be able to clean up either becuase we were going straight to the bus after the party. By that point I was pretty upset cause i really wanted to look good and make really good impressions.
Me and Chris arrived at the hotel where the bus was picking us up at about three when it was suppose to be there. Apparently, the owner got it confused and thought they were suppose to be at Owensburo by three. The bus then wouldn't be at Evansville until four. So we had to wait for about an hour till the bus actually got here.
Once we got on the bus, everyone noticed it was hot and humid, and that not very much air was blwoing out of the vents. The air conditioner wasn't working right. So we all had to sit on a hot and humid bus for the whole trip up there. yea, that made my looks even better! By that point I just gave up. I didn't care anymore. I was just ready to get to Chicago.
Chicago overall was so beautiful and the pride was queertastic! There were so many people, lots of color and unique hair and outfits. Many guys in there underwear, which was REALLY hot. It was just such a good time being in an environment like that. It is something I will never forget and I look forward to going again next year. Hopefully my friends and I can take a road trip up there and spend a night up in Chicago and be there for pride.
When it was time to leave, the bus's AC had not yet been fixed. So Wally bought us all Starbucks and we waited around while someone came to fix it. It took a couple of hours but I think it was worth it to have AC. It felt a lot better going home. I even slept fine on the bus. I had not slept since I woke up Saturday morning. Yeah, I was exhausted, but the whole trip was worth it!
