Pride 2013
Thursday Aug 22nd, I went to Block66, a new gay place in Cph, for their "Cobearhagen goes instinct" party, a part of the Cobearhagen series of events. The place was rather small, but not many bears turned up anyway (and the dancefloor was empty). I didn't recognize many of the bears, most were already in pairs or groups, and I didn't feel like trying my luck there. Anyway, most weren't of the "chubby bear" variety I prefer, but a bit on the skinny side. A shame that Denmark (let alone Cph) is too small to have both a chub/chaser _and_ a bear community of a useful size.
I did notice another big bear sitting alone, with a nice bear-couple between us. I couldn't really tell if he was looking at them or me ... Turned out it was me :-) So we talked a bit, until the place closed at 2AM (surprisingly early). He was from Finland.
Friday, I was joined by Johan for the party in SLM-CPH, where we also met our new friend from Finland. I spent some time alone, but eventually some fun was had by all 3 ;-)
Saturday, we (all 3) watched the pride parade, and later watched the shows in the central square, including a brief performance by the recent danish winner of ESC (since the finn was really into ESC, that was a must).
Eventually, we ended up at my place, where we relaxed (etc) until my guests had to leave sunday evening.
Johan pronounced it the best pride in Cph with me ever. Myself, I felt somewhat disappointed, since I would rather have found some new local friend, rather than a tourist, however nice and sexy. OK, I've never been really good at "being in the moment", but yes it was an OK pride ;-)
