First, can I say I love seeing myself on the missed connections on craigslist

I replied and sure enough it was me *smile*(and can I say, he was a hot daddy type with grey beard, leather jacket and woofy)

Im so glad the weekend is done. It was exhausting but I grabbed a nap and shower in between running around.

What I learned the most this weekend is I hate the term TNG. I need another acronym to define what I really want to do. TNG it seems, is used too loosely and seems to be defined by a heterosexual community. They are referring to TNG as a youth group. This was out of the mouths of babes.

For me, I tried making the point that it doesnt work like that for the gay community. Its not so much about age as it is seasoned vs newbies. If you are the age of consent or older, new to the community, and looking to learn from people who have been around a while, then I want you to be a part of the group. Just be willing to learn from someone who may be younger than you and around a bit longer. If you are someone who is age of consent, or older, and have been around, know the traditions, know protocol, and open to teaching, mentoring, helping a new generation come into the scene, then I want you as a part of the group as well.

People I dont want! I dont want the ones who will make our younger generation feel uneasy, disrespected, or treat them as a piece of meat. Thats what scares them off (just in case you didnt realize that).

As for the rest of the weekend, I really had a great time. I got to meet so many great people in the leather community, and felt a sense of community from a pansexual perspective. Its nice to feel that connection that bridges the gap between sexual orientation, and gender.

Tonight I rest!

Last night David came up and we headed down to Market & Van Ness for the filming of the candle light march for the film Milk. It was nice to see some people who read the webpage to bring your own candles and what to wear. So many did nothing to disguise themselves or to blend in to the time period. Perhaps they werent actually planning on trying to make the final cut but David and I were dressed.



Ran into several people while waiting to begin. Saw my LJ friend, whtbraces, whom I never met but have always enjoyed his blog. Turns out both him and his partner are really great people.

So filming started, and we started at 12th. We walked up a few blocks toward Castro, lit our candles, and started filming. On the way up we got to see on the sides James Franco who was filming one of his scenes. Can I just say WOOF!!?

After the initial filming, they weeded people down to people who are only in 70s garb, and got rid of everyone else. They continued filming with us for several takes before moving on. I really think we may have a chance of being in the movie but we wont know till October or November when its released. We finally continued to film more of the march scenes from Monday night (different location) and David and I were finally exhausted at 3am and left. We went to Orphan Andys for food, and came home and crashed.

What a great time.....
