wedding day

[ still travelling...photos to be posted upon my return to DC ]

Wedding day was spent having cawfee with Kari and Tina, walking around downtown Missoula looking at the shops, then finally meeting up with Kim for a bit at a sports bar. This beefasaurus hottie football player made our burgers, which was just fine with me. Time for Kim's hair to be done, so I retreated to the hotel room to get some jimbo time.

I think the wedding was a traditional Vietnamese affair, but then again I've never seen one before so I really can't say. Both the bride and groom were in lovely customary silk attire. Following the wedding was some hors d'ovures, then off to a local lodge for the evening dinner.

The beer, mixed drinks, wine and champagne were mixed in the wrong order in me that night, which made for a fun time during the meal but the next day was a bear. Interesting to note: almost all of the groom's male friends were very attractive, and all had absolutely white teeth. Time to get my teeth whitenedÖ

Later that evening a few of us went to a local dance hall where they were swing dancing and executing the Western style of the Jitterbug. Pretty amazing for a 30-something crowd, and quite a contrast from the heavy house music of my ghettoized lifestyle. As I was watching the band and the dancers I wondered what my life would have been like if I had chosen to live in the crunchier Portland, Oregon or Homer, Alaska regions. It's all relative I guessÖone does have to get laid. When I come back to places like this I definitely feel more at place. But my goal seven years ago was to put myself in a place where I could meet more guys like myself, whom I wasn't meeting in places like Oregon or Alaska. Such places are more of a haven for lesbians, I think.

Just FYI, Crest Whitestrips definitely do the trick. If it's your first time whitening, 2 2-week rounds of them may be necessary. But now I only need a couple of strips (not even a whole 2 weeks) every six months or so.
