Did ya do V this weekend?
OK…Ed and I had a evening without the kids and decided to do what some couples do on a Friday night…go to the movies.
After dropping the kids at one of their grand parent’s house, we headed to nearby Pittsburgh Mill’s CineMark Theater. I recently heard that the owner of the CineMark was a supporter of Prop 8. Can anyone confirm this? Had I heard this before, I would have never spent my gay dollar at this theater.
Back to the story…
We decided on the movie Twilight. Seemed like a good choice as we have been getting into TrueBlood, also vampire theme. The movie was now not what we expected. No, we did not pay attention to all hype, nor did we read books 1,2 3 or 4. Vampires + Cute Guys = Gay couple without kids on Friday night spending $8 to sit with young teenage girls and middle aged woman comparing the movie to the books.
I will admit, we found the movie very entertaining and we were not the only guys there. Crowds don’t bother me, but when the first 2 viewings were sold out and all we saw were teenagers, I should have figured this was a popular show. Best looking guy (other than Ed) award goes to actor Cam Gigandet in Twilight.
My opinion of course. Ed disapproved of my selection.
In case the above photo did nothing for you…check this out!
Cutie?
The movie was long. We didn’t get home from Pittsburgh Mills until 1am. Ed…I enjoyed the movie and your company. I love you.
Pitt, what happened Saturday night? 
I am very concerned about the BACKYARD BRAWL to be contested on Friday at Heinz Field. It should be one hell of a game. Anyone else going?
Saturday night was the Lambda Ball. Did you attend? What was your opinion?
Chris brought his girlfriend home from school. What a nice girl. We met her a while ago and have seen her several time. Chris has great taste in women. Not only is she pretty, but she has a great head on her shoulders and is fun to be around. His last girlfriend was too.
The coming week should be pretty quiet now that the December issue is finished and delivered. I don’t expect to much crazy as the Thanksgiving holiday is Thursday. We plan to spend the day at my sisters for lunch and dinner with Ed’s mom and step-dad. The dinner has been moved to our house. That is fine with me. It takes some of the hustle out of the day. I will appreciate the short walk to my family room after dinner to watch the game. No driving home…
My regular readers may have discovered that Ed and I don’t sound like the partying types jumping from bar to bar every Friday and Saturday night. Don’t get me wrong. We enjoy P-Town, Eagle, Pegs, Images and Lucky’s occassionally…especially when they have dancers, (not to mention Donny’s, Leather Central, Tilden, Cattivo, Blue Moon, Brewers, Link, 941, Spin and There), but when you decide to have kids and a family life, the bar scene becomes secondary. Some couples can juggle them. We choose not to. There is nothing wrong with hanging out at one of the many bars in Pittsburgh. Hell, Ed and I have done our fair share of donating to these establishments. If we do go out for cocktails, it is always to a lgbt establishments. It is my belief and desire to support every lgbt bar in the city. If you visit most cities in the country, it doesn’t take long to realize that lgbt bars are a dying breed. Pittsburgh has an incredibly large number.
Many blame the internet, DUI laws, drink taxes and the that the younger generation that feels comfortable in straight bars as a reason for decline.
I am not telling you to not to frequent non-lgbt establishments. What I am saying is that when you spend your gay dollar in a gay business, that gay dollar trickles now. The dollars from customers buying ad space in Out are used to pay our employees who take that gay dollar to lgbt businesses. The cycle continues…
Ok, now that I have told you where to spend your gay dollar, that dancers are hot and family rules in my house, will you hold it against me? LOL.
Pittsburgh can be a cool place to live and party. You can not turn on the TV without hearing this city was ranked number 1, one of the top places to ride out the recession, property values continue to rise and much more. Let’s be proud of these things, but make the lgbt community even stronger.
