Pride Comes Before The Fall (when it takes place in the summer)

I love Pride Festival because The Gays know how to party with the best of 'em! I was lucky enough to get into the Vitamin Water VIP because of Alex's connections, and we partied for free with Seattle's young Gay-lite [as in 'Gay Elite', not the sugar free version of Gay,(if there is such a thing) 'Gay Light'. ]

Also, ran into my old buddy, Richie Fader. Love that guy!!!

My bandmate Jordin was there and we had a fun time, while it lasted. I bought her a beer, but she was stuck in line so I had most of it.

Jordin was kind enough to catch me on film, getting digits from Bridget, the hottest straight girl at the entire event. I looked like such a nerd, I'm amazed I pulled it off.

I guess I was into POINTING while having my picture taken that day. Sorry about that.

I ROCKED the Rock n Roll Half Marathon

With a final time of 1:36:31, I finished 281st out of 15, 610 competitors. Not bad. I was 40th place in my division (M 25-29).

My pace per mile was 7:22, which is really badass for me. I couldn't be happier about that.

Oh yeah, and I almost passed out afterward. Literally. I was in the medic tent for almost 20 minutes, attended to by 4 volunteers. Close call. Worth it.

Jai Ho!

I almost forgot to post this! I work with these peeps. I'm in the dance scene.

Billy's 1st Half Marathon

I didn't train. Smart. I slept three hours the night before. Smarter. I didn't eat too much that morning. Smartest.

Regardless, I ran my first half marathon, as part of the Mountains to Sound relay. I was on the 103.7 The Mountain team, with on-air personalities and other sales reps. I did well, 13.1 miles in 1 hour 38 minutes, but I nearly passed out a couple times.

Best part, I've got the Rock n Roll half marathon this coming weekend. Not smart.

Whew.

Last Sunday, my band was played on the radio. Crazy. We only have one song completed, the first song we've made. And that gets radio play. Nuts. 1077 The End has a locals only show. I was stoked, to say the least.
