These are Fred's boxers hanging on the outdoor shower at his rental house:
Later in the evening we went to a couple of private parties. we had both been invited to separate parties and we took each other as our dates! Fred is super sweet and handsome and lots of fun to be with. Thanks for spending time with me, Fred! Grrrr- WOOF!
The bartender, Danielle, is a crazy lesbian from New Orleans! She was full of witty comments and advice!
"Feel it, poke it, smell it... just do something to it!"
"Bitch, I paid for your fish, now give me my fish!"
"OK, if I don't go to the ladies' room, I won't be able to put any more booze in my system!"
"I smoke weed for my glaucoma, my asthma and my vision."
"Oh hell no! Don't touch my ass! Oh, I was just scared. There's too much dick and pizza out there!"
"When you get drunk enough that you get the same tattoo 12 other people have... When you actually sit at a bar and WAIT for your tattoo... it's not that good!"As always, Park knows how to attract the fun people and we had a good time! Thanks, Park! Love you!
The Tea Dance is always popular:
And this is Honey Bare:
Another shot of the harbor:
This is Ronny who is staying in the room upstairs from us at the B&B:
and this is the amazingly accidental shoe art - his roommate threw off his shoes the night before and this is how they landed!
The breakfast at the B&B is from 8:30 to 11:30 every morning, and is quite tasty!
A night walk with Kent aka Mr. Popularity:
And the "Nellies" were out again promoting their show:
If you are especially MACHO, you can go upstairs:
There's a store on Commercial Street that sales all the basic essentials, including pride. It is no longer necessary to have pride within your own heart, you can simply purchase pride at this store. I'm not sure what form this pride comes in, whether it's a cream that you apply to your skin, or something that you eat, but my guess would be that it's ingested since it's listed along with milk, coffee, snacks and ice cream:
It says: "The deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers, the earth is our mother... all things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls earth, befalls the sons and daughters of the earth."
So much happening since I've been here. I'll try to be thorough:
I got to P-town around 12:30 Friday. I parked in the municipal lot and walked over to John Burrows gallery where the guys were preparing to assemble registration packets. As I stood in the doorway, waiting for my eyes to adjust, I heard a voice, "Jonathan!" I was overjoyed to see Steven and Dale from DC standing at a table folding t-shirts! I ran over, hugged and kissed them. I knew it was going to be an awesome week from the start!
I spent the rest of the afternoon helping sort and fold shirts and stuff bags with dog tags, schedules and tickets to the Fireman's Ball. Then I joined Steven and Dale at the tea dance at the Boat Slip Hotel. The tea dance is every day from 4:00 to 7:00. After the dance we went to dinner at the Squealing Pig. I had a "toastie" with gorgonzolla and fig!!! YUMMM!!!!!
I was supposed to sleep on the Viking's sofa Thursday night. The Viking is a friend of John and Chris'. He is of Scandinavian descent and is about 7 feet tall. I tried calling John and Chris, but to no avail. I only got voicemail. So, Steven and Dale offered to let me sleep between them. Usually I would never want to come between a couple, but... well, you know... I love those guys... and coming between them is loads of fun! The snuggling isn't bad either! WOOF!
I finally got to meet my friends Trey and Kirk from San Francisco in person. I've been talking to Trey almost every day for almost 6 months and we planed to meet here. After being in contact every day for so long, it seemed like we already knew each other and meeting in person just made the connection even nicer!
My friend Park, from South Carolina arrived Saturday as well. He ever so graciously invited me to share his room at the Black Pearl Inn for the week. It is an awesome room in a 3 story guest house. It has been so much fun spending time with him again and getting to actually snuggle - last time I saw him, my arm was in a sling and I had to sleep on his sofa! His beautiful dog, Kent, is also here and has been proclaimed "the most handsome dog in Provincetown."
Park has a knack for meeting the most fun, interesting people. I found him talking to 3 super fun chics and we ended up spending most of the afternoon with them, drinking bloody marys, going to shops and then we invited them to the tea dance. They were thrilled to have an "inside invitation" to the (mostly) boys event!
I didn't want the olives in my Bloody Mary, so I fed them to Noelle who said, "eating olives increases your bust size!" I think she's right!!!
I met some super sweet men from San Diego, Don and Leigh. They took me to dinner at Frappo 66 at the the Art House. I had sweet chili glazed salmon, sweet potatoes, couscous and grilled mixed veggies - squash, zucchini, onion, red pepper, garlic - it was an amazing meal and I would highly recommend eating at Art House as often as possible! Don and Leigh told me all about their home and garden in San Diego. The garden sounded like a horticultural delight. I can't even list everything they are growing, but they must have over 50 kinds of fruit and veg growing! I asked them if they needed a garden boy!
Here are some random pics from the last few days! Enjoy!

MORE TO CUM.............................
This is Fred:
Downtown Point Pleasant and the Silver Memorial Bridge:
Mike in front of First Watch:
This is Scott on his scooter:
Scott had to scoot away after brunch. Mike took me to the Columbus conservatory where there was a Chihuly Glass exhibit and an butterfly hatchery. As you know, I love gardens and art. I also have a love for butterflies, so it was a very special treat. The only thing that really sucks is that I left the Leica in Sam's coach in Michigan! So, I didn't get any good shots of the butterflies with my iPhone... no zoom and no macro focus.
There was Chihuly Glass at the St. Louis Botanical Garden and you might also recognize his work from the ceiling of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. These are from the Columbus Conservatory:
This Macaw was a total poser for the camera:
Here I am inside the "whisper chamber" in the zen garden:
and Mike, with the opposing chamber in the background:
There were some astounding bonzai trees in the garden, including this one that is 365 YEARS OLD!!!!
Here are some kids with a butterfly:
The large room where the butterflies are released has a special two door system to insure they don't escape and you are asked to check yourself in a mirror upon leaving to make sure you aren't carrying any "Hitchhiking Butterflies."
I had a lovely day with Mike and appreciate his hospitality during my brief, but very enjoyable visit to Columbus!
Be sure to check out the Columbus, OH photo gallery!!!
I as hoping to leave by 3:00, but I couldn't seem to get my shit together. I kept finding things I hadn't packed and then I ended up with so many clothes (for just 3 weeks until I return to Michigan to pick up my camper) that I decided to take all my winter clothes out of my big red bag so I could use it for this leg of my journey. After I had my clothes packed, I realized I had left my one-cup coffee maker and Beth's ashes in Sam's car. So, by the time I finally got everything in the Jeep, it was 4:30 when I pulled out of Campit's drive.
My first destination is Columbus, OH to visit my friend Mike. I should have arrived around 10:30, but I stopped to get gas in Marrysville, OH and when I pulled back onto the highway, I accidentally went west instead of east. I was so close to Columbus, but ended up driving 30 miles in the wrong direction. Guess I was getting tired! I finally got to Mike's about 11:30. I was greeted with a bear hug and a warm welcome. I laid back in the recliner and we watched the Golden Girls.
Mike Showed me up to the inviting bed in the guest room where I slept like a log!
I have to say that my time at Campit was sometimes trying - from major allergy issues, to some internal "office politics" drama, to some jealous men who weren't very nice to me after I turned them down for sex - but overall, it was a good experience and the respect I received from Sally as my employer goes far beyond any other work experience I have ever had. Sally Howard is by far the most fair, honest person I have had the opportunity to call "the boss." I can't say I would return to Michigan or Campit, but I would work for Sally again in a heart beat (somewhere with mountains, maybe... hehe). We have a rapport that is unmatched. I respect her as my superior and she gave me the freedom to effectively do my job in a manner that I saw fit.
this is my Sally:
I love you, Sally! Thanks for being good to me! XOXOXO
I'll be packing up today and heading out early Tuesday morning to head east to P-town for Bear Week, July 11 - 18. I'll stop in West Virginia on the way! Yay! Hot backwoods men! Woo hoo!
Once the long weekend began, it was insane overtime. I was working from about 8 or 9 in the morning until about 3:00 AM every night... about 18 hours a day with 4 - 5 hours of sleep. In between all the work, there was time to meet a lot of nice people and have beers. It was long and hard, but loads of fun (get your mind out of the gutter) and over all it was a great 4th of July weekend at Campit!
