Thursday, June 5, 2003

On Saturday night I am going to a joint birthday party at a bar in Manhattan. The party is for the birthdays of my brother, my brother’s girlfriend, my brother’s best friend, and some random fourth person.

It is a straight bar.

I am not used to straight bars.

I am trying to decide whether I need to dress like a straight male bar-hopper, i.e. solid-colored button-down shirt tucked into a pair of khakis or black pants, just like the straight guys who get on the PATH at the Hoboken stop on Friday and Saturday nights, or whether I can wear my usual gayboy clothes, e.g. slightly tight-fitting ringer t-shirt and jeans, which I would prefer. I feel like I need to represent, yo.

Maybe I’ll find some sort of compromise outfit.

I’m also trying to decide if I should brush up on my knowledge of sporting events and my grunting and ball-scratching abilities.

Wish me luck.

  1. Wear what you want. If anyone at the party cares enough to be upset about something as petty as your clothes, then SCREW THEM.

  2. A dress?

  3. Conform.

    Every ounce of your future and present happiness depends upon it, clearly.

  4. There’s different dress codes for straight and gay bars? I didn’t know that.

    Anyway. Wear what you’d feel most comfortable in. Au diable with informal dress codes.

  5. I’ve found it appropriate to wear your usual gayboy clothes while grunting and scratching your balls.

    it goes over well at the gay bars too, I’ve heard.

    “Hey! Look at the het guy trying to be gay! How hot is THAT?!”
