I decided to make the Memorial Day weekend a particularly long and fun one. So I took Friday off as well. The weekend was all planned out in my mind — but as often happens – things don’t always turn out as planned.

I was tracking the weather for the longest time cuz I wanted to go to the beach really badly and the forecast for that Friday was calling for it to be the hottest day of the weekend, translating to perfect beach day. Unfortunately, the beach I like to go to is at least 2 hours away from where I live but it’s definitely worth the drive. The beach is located in one of the most “gay friendly” towns in America: namely Provincetown.   How and when Ptown turned out to be so gay I don’t know, but I’m sure someone out there knows! If you do know the story, please tell me!

I asked my friend Shane to go with me. He’s the type of friend that is always up for anything, especially if it takes driving more than 2 hours to get somewhere. We danced together in Boston at a club called Paradise but we both haven’t done it in a while — for a number of different reasons — so I was excited to see him.  Plus I’m trying to convince him to model here, he’d be a great addition to the site, I mean, just take a good look at him and you’ll see why ;-)

We planned on leaving between 9:30 and 10 but lazy ass Shane didn’t get here until 11:00 so by the time we got to the beach it was almost 2. Still, the weather was fantastic. If it wasn’t for the lack of cute gay boys at the beach that day (Memorial Day Weekend in Ptown is famously known for being dominated by the “girls” and for the rest of the summer it’s boy’s time) I could have said without a doubt it was absolutely perfect.

The walk to the beach from the parking lot is a pain. To dodge the “girls” with baby carriages, screaming kids, dogs and volleyballs, you have to walk a good 2 miles. Plus, we wanted to get to this point on the beach where one can comfortably be “au natural” … what better way to be at the beach anyway, especially if the only cute boy around, is with you ?

The afternoon went smoothly. Shane and I laying in the sun was quite the view. :-p The whole experience was so relaxing — the dunes above our heads, the sound of the waves crashing and this calm breeze coming through … we ended up falling asleep. We woke up just before sunset and I couldn’t help but snap a picture of the sunset (as you may already know, one of my other passions – photography).

We headed back home that evening. Unfortunately, I had to work and Shane also had other plans. I don’t know why a day at the beach can be so tiring :-p but the rewards were fantastic (when you see the pictures from Saturday’s shoot you’ll see what I’m talking about) – what a tan lol

Saturday came and I got up fairly early — for someone that didn’t get to bed until 3am. I had scheduled a shoot with my photographer Jack, we’ve been working together for a few weeks now, and we seem to be getting along really well. Jack is a Tom Bianchi aficionado. I believe his dream as a photographer is to get at least a few shots in life that compare with the Bianchi look. I’m happy to help in my own way.  We’re both learning a lot from each other, right now we have too many ideas and just one summer to practice them, but again, naked pictures in the snow might also be fun :-p Who knows…?

I’ll leave you with some of the pictures from that day…

I had to work Saturday night  – well I call it work but it’s really a lot of fun. This time I went to the Brass Rail in New London, CT. It’s a small but cozy club with lots of friendly people. Don, the owner is a sweetheart, he’s always booking me to either dance there or play the “shot boy” role.  I always have a blast there, whatever I’m doing. They seem to like me a lot…well at least I know Davey D. likes me more than anyone else there (right, Dave?!)  ;-) Really, if you haven’t been there yet and you’re in the area, you should definitely check it out.

The theme of the night was “Seamen’s ball” a tribute to our men in the Navy, of course! I did my part – I dressed up in my camouflage gear and my dog tags. I was quite the man in uniform, I gotta tell you. lol

 

The night was going well enough, but the place wasn’t totally packed and I wasn’t selling as much as I needed to. Well, let me correct that – I wasn’t making as much in tips as I’d like to, so I had to use some creativity. I decided to put the whip cream can I was carrying around to good use and five bucks a pop for a “nipple shot” didn’t sound like a bad idea. Not until I had this girl “accidentally” spray the whip cream all over my chest and abs – that might sound hot, maybe fun for you reader, but it was quite a mess for me. And I have the picture to prove it :o)

And, unfortunately, this wasn’t the only accident of the night. It was around one thirty in the morning and people were already leaving (yes, clubs around here close at 2) Not even the famous nipple shot was doing the trick anymore. While I was walking around with my last tray (and I had already run out of some of the good “flavors” and alcohol was already pumping in some people’s blood stream for quite a while now) I encountered this very drunk guy who ”had” to have an orange shot. Too bad I didn’t have one left. He accidentally (he said it was an accident) hit the tray with the remaining shots and they landed all over me. It wasn’t my night I guess. You can see I wasn’t so happy.  There are better ways to get me and my pants wet.

We closed the bar. I gathered everyone for a group picture and headed back to Providence. Okay, not before I smooched around in the back with this cute Brazilian boy from NYC :-p Someone else can close up! Oops!

Needless to say, after staying up so late for 2 consecutive nights — and knowing the White Party was still to come  – I didn’t get up on Sunday until after noon. Even then I didn’t do much that day. I was trying to save up some energy. The White Party is always a big celebration — doesn’t matter where it’s held. Because Monday was Memorial Day,  the club was staying open until 4 in the morning. Again, I teamed up with Shane, who’s always good company no matter where we go. Surprisingly, this time, he was 5 minutes early! I thought something must be up :-p but I didn’t complain – I just had to make a joke about it since he’s always fashionably late. We headed to the club, but the place was still warming up and luckily there were no lines outside. At the door, I even met my old piano instructor :-p (I bet you didn’t know that about me either, huh?!) and he hung out with us for a little while. Oh, and the hottie Brazilian boy I smooched around with the night before was there, too! Yes! hehehe

 

We had a great time, and we danced our asses off (in Shane’s case, literally – check it out if you don’t believe me) and what a nice ass that is … anyway …

 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, personally, I think it’s more. So I’ll leave you with a few thousand of that great night. Again, thanks Jack for the awesome shots. If you wanna see more pictures of the party you can go to EDGE Providence at the nightlife section. Our pictures came out so good that they featured us in the front page :-p

We left the party fairly early — around 2:30 — cuz Shane had to be at work at 10 in the morning. What a free spirit he is. (When we used to dance together in Boston, I remember some nights, he would only have a few hours to sleep between dancing and working his regular job, plus his commute was at least an hour or so, but again he loooooooves to drive lol) We probably crashed about 3, so beat we were.

Monday came and I didn’t have much to do — not that I wanted to do much either. I got busy packing for a trip to Florida (I am in Florida right now, and I’m writing this blog on a plane on my way to Orlando for Gay Days with my friend Tom). I’ll save those adventures for the next post so keep coming back for the latest.  I managed to bring my laptop so that way I wont have to wait until I get back home and everything that happens (and I expect a lot to happen!) will still be fresh in my memory.

I have some great news, too, awesome news! But I can’t talk about it just yet, sorry! I just mentioned to keep y’all curious — hahaha I’ll tell you all in a couple weeks or so…promise!

The plane is about to land and the flight attendant is breathing down my neck to shutdown, plus the turbulence isn’t helping me type either lol  I also promised myself this blog would be done by the time I landed, so there you go…

Until next time!
