Pride II (Highlights)
Went to a workshop that was cancelled...but sold a book!
Breakfast with Frat! Joined by another very pleasant dude from Philly. Sold a book!
Came late to another workshop about Out and Gay at HBCUs. Sold a book and gave some to the panelists.
Went to the Town Hall Meeting about Black and Gay in America. Didn't sell a book but got CRAZY free promotion when one of the panelists (who I had just given a book to previously) said my name and held my book up as an example of novels to support! I was like DAMN, you can't buy publicity like that!
Sat with my girl Courtney and had jokes.
Hung out in the lobby for a while.
Saw THE SKI TRIP. Review forthcoming. Bottom line -- I LIKED IT A LOT!!!!! I was like damn, did someone steal my life?
Gave a copy of the book to Maurice Jamal, the man who made THE SKI TRIP. So like, why is he hot? So is Alphonso Morgan. So was everyone at Pride. Damn.
Was supposed to meet my girl for the film festival, but I was in the town hall meeting and lost track of time, so she went back home. I was sad. :-(
Met with frat! (Different frat.) Later in the evening, met deaf frat! Why were they all hot? lol
Speaking of which, why were the Lesbians hot, too?
Was SPOSED to go to the poetry slam, but I just wasn't feeling it, yo. By that time of the day, I had no more books to sell or give to "opinion molders" or other folks in the life that just shouldn't have to buy one.
There were MAD GREEKS at Pride. Saw an AKA, SGRho, and a Delta at one event alone.
Camped out in the lobby for a while, just chillin. Ran into some Gamma Sigs I know. One of them knows Diddy. We called Diddy. Diddy was in PR though.
Had dinner with Brent Dorian Carpenter. Like everyone else, he was hot.
Alphonso Morgan is fucking HOT. Buy his book based on the stength of his hotness. Like, Alphonso Morgan is so fucking hot, that even I couldn't holla at him. Like, his hotness intimidates me in that Aaron McGruder way.
I eventually hung out with like ten different dudes -- I only knew one from before, the rest I met this weekend. All cool. Majority hot. LOL
Can we have Pride every weekend?
I know this post was crazy, but I am having so much fun.
Oh yeah, I saw HIM again. And I showed him to my frat on the sly. He ain't have nothing to say one way or the other, regarding him. Just Oh. lol
Shit is banoodles.
