So sad... they always had a booth at Lousiville Pride every year.
Indianapolis' only gay bookstore, Out Word Bound, will close after Christmas, its owners say:
"'It has been a good run,' owners Mary Byrne and Tammara Tracy wrote in an e-mail to customers Wednesday. For more than a decade, the Downtown store has served as a center of gay and lesbian intellectual life, with concerts and book groups meeting there frequently."

Last fall, I posted an entry titled Wallowing in Gratitude. It was well before Thanksgiving, but this year I decided to hold off and post it now. Once, again, I have so very much to be thankful for. I am truely blessed. Following is just a small sampling of those thing that have come to mind this afternoon...

This week's entry is the Two Rivers Mansion. This is where Chris and I attended the Wld West Showdown benefit for HRC from 2004-2007. It hosts an array of events throughout the year. For a more panoramic view , as well as the historic marker for the mansion

Edit for Lisa & Marika:
Two Rivers Mansion
It is said that before the land was used as a Civil War burial ground, it was used for the same purpose for the Native North American Indians. People have reported hearing phantom footsteps following them, and it is believed at one time there was a man who lived in a home on the property who buried his money underground. If you can find the site of the old house, it is believed you can hear him opening his jars of money.
As I promised Mark, I got some shots of his beloved Penis last weekend while Chris was running around taking horsey pics. As we wandered(and drove) around downtown Louisville, I was able to view it from several angles.

This week's theme: Three

I was initially at a loss on today's theme. I didn't have anything archived and I knew I wouldn't have time to scout out something between classes this morning, another funeral this afternoon and work at the store tonight. When I pulle dup in the driveway, it hit me. There was a big ol' 3 right there on my door frame.

I don't care if it is the South, it is not appropriate to wear a wig from the Dolly Parton Stage Collection to a funeral...unless, maybe, you are a drag queen...especially if you are even older than Dolly.
While my visit was a bit shorter than originally planned due to the unfortunate situation with Sophie, we still had a really good time celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Chris's 39th. This year he opted for a night in with pizza, cake and board games; although, he, Michael & I did drop in at Tryangles after Kat went home(sorry Lisa, the gogo boys sucked this time).
( Loads of photos under the cut )There are lots more, but Chris's reaction of confusion and horror as he opens one of his gifts...

This week's theme: Softness

I hadn't come up with anything for PF yet and was browsing in Kirklands tonight when I came across these. I don't know if the green cast is fromthe lighting or my crappy cameraphone. They are actually chocolate brown and gold. Nelda got me one just like this as a welcome home from the hospital gift back in January 2008. It is one of the softest throws EVER!

While searching through boxes of books
I came across quite a surprise.
I couldn’t believe my luck,
What I beheld with my eyes.
While eating a big plate of nachos,
I sat down with a story by Mark.
Reading with great anticipation,
Enjoying every witty remark.
As I read, I loved every minute
And suddenly a tear was triggered
when I read, “"His soft pulsing heart had entered
the fray of men and emerged disfigured."
- Mood:
silly
So last night I got all dressed up and headed down to Tribe in Nashville to meet my friend Tony, who commited the cardinal sin of not dressing up, for the Halloween festivities. This year's costume was Robin Hood. This was my first time making a hooded cape. It only took about three hours by hand and turned out pretty well.
There were a variety of cool costumes out and about, including this one I took for Marika and Lisa of Captain Jack Sparrow and some prehistoric beefcake.
