...referred to others as the Guerilla Stampede...silently, but maybe not so inconspicuously, unloaded on the Bell in Hand last month (and Tequila Rain this past Friday). My roommate, Brian, informed me of his latest discovery in the gay realm: 300+ gays take over an unsuspecting straight bar on any given night. Participants are notified of the destination via email 24 hours prior to the event and are requested to congregate at a specific time. The idea is to make people aware of the lack of integration between gays and straights. Well who doesn't want to witness an explosive infiltration of gays at one of the most straight-laced bars in Boston? The Bell in Hand was like a turkey on Thanksgiving stuffed with gays overflowing out its orifice (front door) and spewing onto the platter on which it sits (Union Street) And let's not forget to mention the torrential downpour that persisted (now that's some soggy stuffing). At first glance, chances were nil that you'd find a straight bar-goer in any room of the watering-hole. And at a second, more arduous look, maybe you'd see 2 fag-hags (me and Alayna) and a few guidos who just weren't getting it (and then of course Whitey and Campbell waiting in the hour-long queue to join the party). It's an event everyone should check out at some point, if not for support of gay-straight integration, at least for some gay ol' fun!
