TIMES SQUARE SOCIAL NETWORKING PARTY @ THE TRAFFIC BAR
Wed., Feb. 22, 2012
I've had this email sitting inside my hotmail account for a week. It's for a gay networking party tonight. I was not sure, whether or not I should go. It's either go out tonight to my first ever gay affair or sit at home and watch re-runs of Jack Mc Coy. A very easy decision, it didn't take long to reach The Traffic Bar. Where tonight's Times Square Social Networking Party was taking place.
Boy, was I nervous walking into a room full of nothing but men. I see, where this bar get its name from. Wall to wall, traffic. Walking in there, everyone needed a special kind of identification. A badge defining your occupation. The relevance wasn't significant but it gave some sort of an opening to allow others to communicate with one another.
I spent a good majority of the night, sitting down. I didn't do too much socializing. It isn't any different like when I was straight. The only difference I had to set off the conversation. Which is rare I never been known to do that. In a straight environment.. females, especially "BLACK" females make it difficult to approach them. For some reason or another, I felt like those stuck up, boo'gee black women that be schemin' in the clubs. It was like the whole world have shifted and everything fell, right into place. Right where it was supposed to be.
I'm sitting in a room with a bunch of queers and I'm happy. Although, I'm happy there's still an void inside of me. I need to start becoming more aggressive or perhaps submissive is a better word. All these, fly ass hunks and I'm not doing much to blend in and mingle. I must say, though I did feel a tad below my self-esteem. This girl that you have here sitting down, this evening is not your typical "J-BOOTILUSCIOUS".
I didn't have a chance to divafly. I'm not going to sit here now and make excuses. However, if that so happen to be my reason it was due to the lack of my male success. I know, what I would have to do for next month's event. I would like to take this time to thank David Drake of "My Tawny Valentine". She was in the house, it was my first time ever posing with a drag queen. I figure, why not this maybe the closest I'll ever get to Ru-Paul. It's a nice photograph I'm going to cherish it for life. Everyone be sure to check out my boo, David Drake of My Tawny Valentine at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (inside West Bank Cafe) From Feb 17th to Mar. 02nd.
Although it may seem as if I didn't have a wonderful night. I did a satisfactory job, I would say considering its my first time attending an gay affair. I did get the opportunity to meet a few guys. I met at least five guys this evening. I didn't get lucky or anything but I still had fun and I'm still happy with who I'am....
