How do I start to elaborate on this one? I have no idea, so I’m just going to say it. Yes I went to a Gay Bar, Yes I had Blast in fact probably the most fun I had all year, yes it was my idea, and yes I’m 100% Straight.
On our typical Wednesday, November 25, 2009, night at Guy Cruz, everyone was there and then some. Guy was on point with the music and everyone was having a great time. So great, that the conversation on “when are we going to a gay bar night” came up. Talking to Ingrid and friends, it seemed like Friday night would be the night *November 27, 2009* I would be able to cross #20 on 30 before 30.
We made plans to go to fushions since we heard that was the spot, jazzed all week that we were going to blaze that place. Things quickly changed when Jacobi said that place doesn’t get good till 2 am and that we would have to go somewhere else. Well since everyone that knows Waikiki, everyone knows that bar above teddys, near lulu’s is the Gay Place. Hula’s it is.
I got my pre-party on with Eva, quickly kicking back skittles vodka and luckily Eva is a bartender she was able to make some great mix-drinks. Debora (roommate) came home and immediately wanted to go too. Our party was slowly growing larger. I rocked my pink shirt, tight-jeans, hat, and of course my eye liner, thankx to Eva. We took our last shot and Kanani, my dear friend and DD for tonight drove us down the road.
As I rode in the back of the truck I started to put myself in a state of calmness, a state of being non-judgmental and open to have fun with whomever tonight. My goals for the night, not to puke, not to get to twisted, not to stare, and not to be disappointed without having fun.
We walked in like we owned the place! Ingrid and Ele were already dancing as I went up to the bar to get my first shot and drink. My dear Eva got me the first shot, and this would defiantly not be the last. The first hour was probably the most awkward for me. Seeing a male go-go dancer half naked on the stage was interesting and seeing guys hold each other was..lets just say I wasn’t ready for that.
I went looking for Jacobi, our gateway to the gay community. He is a super chill black guy that can sing his rocks off and he is my friend. I don’t care what people think of me for hanging out with him or think of him because of his lifestyle. He is a good person and was open to showing us this club. Thank you Jacobi!
For some reason in my head I thought gay guys would be cutting some major rug on the dance floor, however I was in shock because it’s like a straight bar in which the guys stand next to the dance floor looking at the people dancing. And who was dancing on the floor? The girls, plus me and Sebastian. That gay bar had no idea what would hit their community this night and I think they will never forget when the straight people came to disturb there groove.
After an hour or so when we all felt more comfortable being there, that’s when the madness began. Dancing, Dancing and more Dancing. Pictures, Pictures, and more Pictures. 95% of those pictures will never see the light of day.
I’m going to end this blog on how I started. Yes I went to a Gay Bar, Yes I had Blast in fact probably the most fun I had all year, yes this was my idea, yes I’m 100% Straight, and yes I danced with another man. hahahah
