muckefuckI know I promised to complete my Bear Pride report but, at this rate, it'll never happen. It was a good time, even if it did end on rather a flat note as our merry little band dissipated in all directions--Nuphy and Son to a friend's bbq, Monshu back home, ottr4bear and I back to his house. It was questionable choice, in retrospect--I can't help asking if had I gone straight to bed instead I might not have gotten so goddamn sick the next day--but I wasn't prepared to leave human company so abruptly. Besides, if not for that, I never would've seen Rubeus at all--and given him a chance to play Dress Up Danny the next morning.
One particularly lovely thing that happened was that I acquired a bear escort on the way back from the Metro Sunday night. I got impatient waiting for a bus, as I'm wont to do, and started walking. It was at the Wrigley McDonalds that I ran into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aadroma, ombraorsa, and blythwulf. When it finally came time for them to head home, I walked them and Matt3 to the el and we rode two stops south together. As my stop neared, I got hugs and kisses all around; standing on the platform a moment later, I realised that the place had been temporarily turned into safe space for me to be gay. For the rest of the walk home, I was able to preserve the illusion that I didn't live in an environment reflexively hostile to gay male affection.
Nice while it lasted...
