Epic Brazilian

I get the feeling that the Boston gay club scene is being overrun by Brazilians. I was at Epic again this past weekend. Went with Nauber and Mykael. We picked up Nauber's friend Geremias on the way into Boston, as well. Ronny would have come, but he was tired from working too much again.

At the club, I bumped into Diego and Marcelo. Marcelo and Geremias do know each other from the mutual friends that invited Geremias to come to Framingham. Marcelo (Mr. I'll You Tomorrow) was a bit flirty until I pointed out (3rd time) that Nauber (that guy right there) is 'meu namorado'. Diego also was flirty, but he was there with his boyfriend, so it was risk-free. He did apparently like my hair, too. I buzzed it all off again.

We met up with Nish there, and were all hanging out together. Then Nish's ex, Mark, shows up. I said hello, and he mentioned that he "was not expecting to see" me there. It seemed like an odd thing to say, so I had a feeling it meant Sergio was around. Sure enough, I did see him out on the dancefloor later, though I did not go over to say hello, and he did not come over to me, either.

Mateus was there, as always. It's getting tiresome trying to draw his attention, so I didn't chase him down to say hello. He is always there with at least 4 other friends, all Brazilian, having a good time. Either he was too wrapped up in his bubble of a world, or just didn't want to say hello to me.

I also saw the latino guy from last summer, Juno, out on the dancefloor. He was with some guy, so I was happy for him. The guy was tall, lanky, dorky, wearing glasses, messy computer-science-major hair. OMG - his type is dorky white guys. That would make me one, to his eyes anyway, too.

When I was college, gay clubs were about 90% white. Looking around this past weekend, I would guess it was around 30% white. A few more blacks than those Olden days, and still not very many Asians, but lots and lots of Hispanics. Eastern Massachusetts is quickly becoming the largest US population of Brazilians, which only started 5/10 years ago, so I don't know how this trend is going across the entire country, but I know at least one person whose happy!
