So, I went to Pride today in downtown Tyler.
I was kind of nervous so I wore regular ol' clothes. After about an hour, I said "what the hell" came home, put on my crochet booty shorts, a pride shirt, my bi-pride earring and grabbed my tinwhistles for open mic. Tyler's small, so downtown's only like 11 minutes from the apartment.
So, I get back, sign up for open mic, and then almost immediately get bumped up early because someone who was scheduled had bailed. So there I was in the middle of Tyler square, playing my tinwhistle and putting a ton of attention directly on me (which most people may not know, but makes me intensely uncomfortable. I'm super shy). I got lots of positive feedback, lotta folks commented on and loved the shorts, and I made a couple of new friends. Sometimes, you just not gotta puss out
This is the first time I've ever really been open and out in public, and I'm so glad I did.
Oh, and by the way, crochet lets the wind right through it, so most of the time, I felt like I was walking around with my dick out. heh.
