I like parties and opportunities to flirt openly on the street. But I don't like crowds or binge-drinking holidays such as St. Patrick's Day and Cinco De Mayo and New Year's. I think Gay Pride events mean more for people who don't have & haven't had much gay in their everyday. I'm glad it's there for them. I don’t like to go to gay pride, but I wish I did.

and nice pics of you both!

Your post bespeaks of a genuine impulse to get somewhat grounded in this sometimes crazy town, and also serves as a a great introduction to You, for portland.

You will prolly get better and more “advice” from Jack than from me, but a few rambling observations follow.

Portland, as you may have already discovered, does not have a cultivated gay hood on the scale of cap hill in seattle, or weho in la… in part because of our smaller scale perhaps… in part due to a greater spirit of independence maybe.

I'm not sure I'd be remembered but I was Frostbite (Curt) on the old IRC, even before he'd discovered it. I was saddened to hear about his passing, particularly since I'd attempted to look him up recently and wondered why he hadn't had the chance to respond. At any rate, I wanted to pay my respects and find out if anyone was around to respond to questions regarding Ron and some of our old friends. It's been years since he and I talked but I always regretted not keeping in touch and there are a few mutual friends I'd like to reconnect with. If you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I was an old friend of Ron’s. I’m not sure I’d be remembered but I was Frostbite (Curt) on the old IRC, even before he’d discovered it.
