Waving Little Flags

This weekend was Boston Pride. It was Sao Paulo pride, too, incidentally. So, Nauber was a little discontented to begin with. He had been trying to gather a big group of people to all go to Boston together. That failed miserably. Ronny and Andre got there well after the parade ended, and Nauber was clamoring for lunch. Mykael was also running late - as always. Brad and Cris skipped Pride and came into town late at night to see Rocky Horror. I passed on that since the last time I went it was broing as hell, now that the staff does all the interacting and the audience just watches the staff watch the show.

Mykael did join us briefly while we had a spot of lunch. Nauber got distracted by the A|X, so we got to the block party about 45 minutes before it ended. They were still charging cover, so we headed to Club Cafe instead. Mykael and Ronny/Andre said they were coming to join us. None of them did. Got tired, and went home instead.

So, Nauber and I walked to JP Licks (didn't realize they had 8 locations) on Newbury to get ice cream, then wandered around the BU campus area, and I pointed out my college spots. All in all, he was bored. He wanted the crazy excitement that any party in Brazil seems to attract, but got more of a typical New England ho-hum. He wanted to go to Roxy, as well, but I refused to go because the $40 cover seemed excessive. Which means I was partly to blame for the boringness.

He seems to want to go to Providence next weekend. We'll see how that turns out. Providence Pride tends to be more boring than Boston, and if Boston fizzled this year, I'm not sure how good Providence will be. The following weekend will be NYC Pride. He hasn't clearly stated his desires for that weekend, though I did point out he'd want to take Friday night and Saturday off from work, and that seemed to get a "can't do that" sort of reaction.

Meanwhile, Ronny found a 5 bedroom house for rent in Allston, nowhere near a T-stop, that he is insisting would be a GREAT place to move. Nauber keeps saying he wants to move to Cambridge. The red-line access would be better there, but I keep telling him we can't afford the rent there.
