BACKTRACK -- this was for FRIDAY. went down to Long Beach / LA to visit my friend Mike and to go to Gay Days at Magic Mountain. a bunch of screaming queens on coasters sounds fun, right? it was albeit a little ghetto. i felt really old with all those teens hanging around. hey -- at least they're out and about and PROUD to be themselves. the fist ride was something called X -- lies -- i've never ridden anything like that in my life!
