Fun – With My Clothes On!

I’ve been out on the town two nights in a row, but amazingly, I kept my clothes on the whole time! I know, shocking.

Wednesday I went to board game night at the LGBT Center with Michelle, the lovely lady I had a date with last Saturday (you know, the one I was spazzing about over twitter if you follow my twitter). As I walked up to her outside the center I did, finally, manage to kiss her. Yes, I can hear you all out there in the blogosphere saying, “Finally!” It was a pretty innocent sort of kiss but at least it’s a start. I had fun learning a new board game (El Grande) from some board-game-geek gay men. Whoo hoo! It was fun. Michelle and I were the only two women there. It wasn’t all gay men, as her boyfriend was also there.  Five of us sat at the El Grande table and I managed to come in third after the two guys who had played it before. Coolness. A few of us went out for some food afterwards. I had a great time but had to head home lest I miss one of the late trains and have to sit around the station for an hour. Michelle asked me to put in a good word in case any bi/lesbian women who love board games and live in New York might want to come around to Board Stiff one night. We need more women there!

Last night, I went to In The Flesh for the first time. A whole slew of sex bloggers were there – I got to hang out with Catalina, Diva, Tess, and Mina; I got to meet Natt Nightly (who is indeed the butch I was ogling at the sex blogger calendar party – Natt is very cute), Twanna from Funky Brown Chick and Jack of Writing Dirty plus a few other people I’m forgetting. The readings were fun, and the company was wonderful. I hope to hang out with them more in the future. Oh, and if you get a chance to go – there’s delicious mini cupcakes served. Get there early to get the cupcakes!

I managed to get to In the Flesh from MasterDoc’s place in the Bronx via subway and bus. First time doing that but luckily I was able to get trains that connected up and dropped me just about a block away from In the Flesh.

So as day two of my vacation goes on, I’m in a good mood and I’ve had some fun. I have a wedding to go to this weekend (urgh!). And hopefully MasterDoc will feel better when I head back to his place on Sunday.
