It’s just the prettiest day all sunny and “hot” for Seattle. Living in Austin now I am laughing at what they call hot, but it just couldn’t be prettier. We spend a bunch of money on crab legs and we couldn’t be happier about it. If fact, we spent $80 on crab for only three people. The two-hour drive North to Bellingham gives us a chance to get to know Reina. God-Des is great at asking questions and getting to know folks. I’m in the back seat looking at some trash magazines people leave on the plane (I always scan the seat pockets on the way out of the plane to see what magazines and books people leave behind). But I am listening as well and enjoying how beautiful the drive is. There is so much green and the sky is one of the bluest I have ever seen. Reina’s Ipod is very mixed and making us really happy. Impressive for a younger person. We get to her house and meet her really cute dogs. She keeps apologizing for the older one smelling, but he was really cute and entirely forgiven. We boil up some red, purple and white potatoes and make a salad. And last but certainly not least, we make the crab. It was so fresh and off the chain, we were all smiley and content. None of us said a word to each other during the meal because it was THAT GOOD! Then we went to the hotel to check in. This part was really cute. We get there and they had balloons, a fruit plate, water, a RAINBOW bottle of absolute that God-des starts freaking out about, and Hershey’s kisses in the shape of a heart. It was all very cute and sweet. We loved it!

The next day we decided to go have lunch on the water before the show. This gruff older dude cab driver was in charge of getting us around. His name was Greg. He was one of those dudes when you break through their hard shell you find a soft teddy bear center. He took us to the water and we ate at this cafe outside. They were having some sort of fishing award show with these two dudes announcing sizes of fish and who won what. They were sooooooo monotone, boring, and serious that it actually became comical. It was suuuch a pretty day and it just felt so good to be outside in the sun. The highlight was this English bulldog puppy named George who was maybe the cutest thing I had ever seen. Greg picks us back up and we go to the hotel to freshen up and get ready for the show. We got to the gig and met up with this Woman who saw us at Portland Pride and really was touched by our song, “Stand Up”. She said she wanted to use that song for a Pepsi grant she was trying to get. She was really sweet and had really great energy. She explained to us that she wanted to start a Women’s Center in Portland called Tenacious Spirit. It will be a place where women can get help and services in all aspects of life. It sounded like a really cool idea to us so we decided to get behind her and let her use the song. We even did some shout out’s on film for it. We wish her the best and will be calling on YOU, our fans, when the time is right to vote for her. It is important that we get the community together to stand up for things that will make our world a better place. I will be following up with links and ways to vote soon.

The show that day was really fun and the crowd was showing love like crazy. In the front row were 2 of the cutest little boys ever. They were acting a little shy but I could tell they were excited to see us. We took pictures with them and I will be posting them on here so you can see them. Their two moms bought a couple Cd’s and a t-shirt but I gave God-Des a look and we decided to give each of them their own “Three” record for free, because it doesn’t have any curse words. Bellingham showed us mad love. What a great crowd. What a fun show. I guess I will end with a message sent to us from the mom of the two little boys we gave the CD’s too. It’s to cute not to share….

“ I have to tell you, as soon as we got home they boys jumped out of the car to tell all their little kid friends, and our adult friends around us, that they got these cool cds, as they flashed them in everyone’s face, they said they actually got to meet you guys and heard you in person, and that you guys where the most awsomest and the best ever…They where so excited and so proud, it was so frigging cute, thank you..
Ps. If they’re bad I use the cd’s to keep them in line, they’ve lost them once for the day, and they just about had a break down over it…..We had so much fun, and they absolutely had a blast and loved you guys, thank you so much….Peace”

Anyway, when I found out that the Backstreet Boys would be opening for us, I was more then amused:  ecstatic in fact.  I thought, “Wow, the only thing that could POSSIBLY be better is if New Kids On the Block opened for us.”  I used to be obsessed with New Kids: literally!  When I was in middle school, you could not see any white wall in my bedroom, only cut out pics of New Kids that even covered almost my entire ceiling (except my ceiling fan cuz they would have ripped).  I even made a scrapbook of pics of me and my friends next to New Kids On The Block cut outs.  Anyway, I wasn’t lucky enough for that, but The Backstreet Boys were a close second.  I was a little bit too old to fall victim to Backstreet Mania, however I got to witness it first hand.  I knew people loved them, but had NO IDEA how much.  Usually gay prides (at least during our sets) are filled with lots of ladies of all ages, but usually 20 years old and up.  Oh no no no no, not at this pride!  The front fence, which stretched so far it probably the length of a football field, was filled with 14-18 year old girls and gay boys.  The girls were screaming so loud in high pitched noises that it sounded like we might be at six flags., And the gay boys were screaming “I love you Nick Carter. Will you be my baby daddy Nick Carter?”  It was quite a site if I do say so myself.  I watched the first couple songs from the VIP section in the front of the stage but then got called back to go wait on stage behind the curtains so we could hit the stage as soon as they finished.  SHE and I walked up that ramp and that’s when it hit me.  I saw the Backstreet Boys (BB’s for short) and looked out in the crowd to realize that there were at least a hundred thousand people out there.  And so many of them knew the BB’s songs.  At that moment, I nearly puked and felt like I couldn’t breath.  I then started to think that I was going to forget all of my words and totally fuck up on stage.  SHE kept patting me on the back and saying, “We deserve this son, we have worked so long for this.  Just enjoy this moment homie.  You aren’t going to forget your words.”  I agreed in my head, we had worked for over 10 years and we have played to large crowds before.  But that didn’t take away from the fact that I kept gagging cuz I was having a mild panic attack.  I think I was extra physked out because a couple weeks before in Portland, I forgot the whole first verse to our song “Stand Up.”  And we perform that damn song nearly every week.  I free-styled and got back on track for the second verse but for the rest of the show I was worried I was going to forget something else.  It rarely happens that I forget words, but when it does, I feel like I can’t recall anything.  I feel like my career is over and I will never be able to remember our songs ever again.  I know it is a bit dramatic, but those are the crazy frantic thoughts that run through my brain.  So that was definitely weighing heavy on my mind when I looked out in the crowd.

Anyway, when the BB’s finally said BYE BYE BYE to the crowd, my heart started pounding like I had just run a 5 mile sprint.  These really cute gay hosts were talking up a storm and we kept motioning to them to “Shut the hell up” and put us on that damn stage before I puke all over the place.  All of sudden SHE pushes me from behind to prompt me to hit the stage.  We both go walking out and grab our mics.  From the moment we starting our first song people stopped dead in their tracks.  We grabbed that crowd.  I mean we REALLY grabbed that crowd.  They started singing along with us and really loved the show.  At one moment I looked up and saw myself on those supertron mega-screens like they use at the Super Bowl (next year we will actually be at The Super Bowl performing ).  Anyway, at the moment, I really just took in what was going on and felt so thankful to be there.  SHE was right, we have worked so hard for so many years and it is time that we get the opportunities and reckognition we deserve.  The longer we played, the more and more people started to gather and truly love our performance.  (We even got some emails from folks saying we were so much better then the Back Street Boys LOL).  We finished up the set with our crowd favorite “Lick It” and got a roar of applauses.  After we finished, our line for merch was on a whole other level of insanity and we sold a lot of cd’s and t-shrits and signed a ton of butts; in jeans that is.  So thank you Backstreet Boys for being our opening act at San Francisco Pride.  It will certainly be a show that I will NEVER forget.
