The tales of a 30 something gay stand-up comic living in NYC who is searching for his soul mate or soul...which ever comes first.

"Take Your Clothes Off and Lay on the Ground!"

Someone saying these words usually turns me on, but on Saturday morning, I was just way too cold. The tempature was just over 50 degrees, but it was liberating to see the group of women over the age of 80, the breast cancer survivors (with their breasts removed), to my right a sorority house, a grandfather/father/son trio, and in my own section, a group of exhibitionist gay guys and housewives who instantly bonded with witty one line humor. 2700 naked people all laying down in the center of the street, backs to the camera, and I make the comment about how I shouldn't have had beans for breakfast that day. We also broke the record for the largest group of naked people in one place for 4 hours. Would I do it again? Hell yes, it was one of the most fun shoots I have ever done (although my mom won't be to happy when she reads this). Everyone keeps their eyes focused at eye level, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.



Post photo shoot, I hightailed it back to Columbus for the Pride Celebration. Now since I don't have my wallet anymore (the car and my house have been torn apart), the only identification I have currently is an old State ID, that expired in 2001. The first bar I went to, would not let me in. I'm 34 years old, and I felt and was acting like a 20 year old all weekend, sneaking into bars with older men to make me look older, drinking a beer that someone else was holding when the bartender wasn't looking. I felt like a kid again...

I do have most of the pictures developed, and later tonight, should have the pictures up and ready for display. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
