Good Times

The past week has been fun and it was topped off by a visit from one of my dear friends Garrod who came to visit me from Albany, NY. Me and Garrod have been friends for 11 years, which I hadn't realized it has been that long until we were talking about it. I knew him when he was just a teenager trying to get through his highschool years and he's all growed up now :-) I'm proud of how well he's doing for himself in spite of some of his life adversities over the past couple of years. He's one of the sweetest and most genuine people that I know, which is how we've managed to stay friends all these years. I've been here in Philadelphia for a year and 3 months and he is the first person to come and visit me. Several friends have said they plan to come, but none have until now, and I had a great time bar hopping last night and then showing him around Philadelphia today. We reminisced on the fun and good times we've had over the years, which I know my partner felt left out at times, so thank you for bearing with us baby. Here are a few pics from the night:

So a good time was had by all and I realized how much I miss Garrod. He's looking to move at some point in the future and has his eye on Philly as a possibility, so you know I was trying to sell it to him.

Last weekend was New Years weekend so me, Georgeo and friends decided to do it up for the weekend. We went out to a couple of bars last Friday night and had a jolly old time. I didn't take any pictures on New Year's Eve, but I do have a picture from the night we all hung out at Key West (a Black gay bar in Philly, not the city- I wish though!) Here are a few pics from Key West:
