High Heel Race
So Last night I got dressed up in Drag (for my 1st time) and went to the high heel race in DuPont. It was a blast but some of the guys in drag took it way too seriously its for shit and giggles. The whole street was packed from p street nw up 17th nw to r street nw. I will have pictures up a little later on the week of the event. All and all it was a good time. The only problem I have with it is seeing actually females dressed up to try to out do us gay guys or something.
Anyway I need some practice walking in heels, I have blisters on my feet now OUCH. Also need to the wig a little better so im not eating hair all night along. So its Halloween today, maybe I will give out candy in drag tonight sitting on my porch. Anyway Happy Halloween to all and if you have kids make sure you go with them and make sure they don't go out in the street with out you cause you and I know that there will be a few drunks flying down the street.

HRC does nothing for the DC GLBT community.
The one thing that really bothers me is that alot of the GLBT community here in DC donate to national causes like HRC when they could be donating to local community group who can help change dc for the better like the dc glbt community center or DC for Marriage or WWC. People if we dont take care of our local community who will? HRC wont and has not. HRC only wants your money and could care less about the GLBT community here in DC.

what Larry Craig should have said
David Guggenheim, producer of Michelangelo Signorile's radio show (on SIRIUS OutQ 109) put together this hilarious remix of Larry Craig's press conference. Mike passed it on to Pam, and I got it from Pam's web blog.
It's called "What Larry Craig Should Have Said." Protect your keyboards, folks...
http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2802This is great, this works so well cause of the way Larry Craig speaks, like a robot.

Christopher Dyer, Brett Parson, David Schwartz,
Kevin Shipman, and Bruce Weiss
To be Honored as "Co-Founders" of the DC Crystal Meth Working Group
Center's Fall 2007 Fundraiser to Host Reception and Award Ceremony
Washington DC ~ The Board of Directors of The Center – Home for GLBT
in Metro DC is pleased to announce that Christopher Dyer, Brett
Parson, David Schwartz, Kevin Shipman, and Bruce Weiss are being
honored as "Co-Founders" of the DC Crystal Meth Working Group at The
Center's Fall 2007 Fundraiser. The DC Crystal Meth Working Group is a
coalition of community organizations and concerned citizens that is
committed to providing information and resources to help people make
informed choices about crystal meth. Its two main goals are to educate
and inform the community about crystal meth and to advocate for
increased funding and support for substance abuse prevention and
treatment services.
The DC Crystal Meth Working Group has held educational community
forums with expert panelists leading informative discussions on
health, legal, social, and sexual consequences of use and abuse of
crystal meth; conducted outreach at gay bars and nightclubs throughout
2005, 2006, and 2007 and at annual Youth Prides, Black Prides, and
Capital Prides; launched a comprehensive and interactive website
www.LetsTalkAboutMeth.org; formed a speakers bureau; has testified
before the DC Council's Committee on Health, Chaired by Councilmember
At-Large Mr. David Catania; and conducted online and in person surveys
of community members to determine their disposition with regard to
crystal meth.
"Christopher Dyer, Brett Parson, David Schwartz, Kevin Shipman, and
Bruce Weiss were the driving forces that provided the foundation to
launch the DC Crystal Meth Working Group," states Michael Sessa,
president of The Center and chair of the DC Crystal Meth Working
Group. "Their passion, focus on results, and persistent voluntary
dedication in this effort together created a strong message that has
permeated throughout DC, the region, and actually all across the country."
In June of 2006, The DC Crystal Meth Working Group was selected by the
Caron Foundation as recipients of its Educational Excellence Award for
an Institution or Organization. This award recognizes an educational
institution or organization that has proactively supported and
embraced programs that educate students, families, and communities to
understand chemical dependency through awareness programs. The award
was presented at Caron's Annual Community Service Awards Program, held
Friday morning June 16, 2006 at the Marriott Hotel in Bethesda,
Maryland. In October of 2006, The Center was awarded by the DC Council
a $100,000 grant, funding under the Budget Support Act and
administered through the DC Department of Health's Addiction
Prevention and Recovery Administration (APRA), to continue outreach
efforts.
The Center's Fall 2007 Fundraiser is being held Wednesday September
