Place: Largo, FL 72/88
Main activity: Sun - bike, Gulfport, drag show, Ellen's new gallery
Notes: Big day, woke a couple times and then up for good 550a (didn't realize until much later the date also 5/5). Early right, pic is just as I headed out of the complex - felt strong and quick and ended up doing 15 mi, fairly warm first thing. Shower and coffee, CBS Sun morning show on in the bkgd, but again, hardly saw any of it. Early meal of eggs and zucchini, sprouted bread w/ homemade jam. Coordinated w/ Ellen about meeting her in Gulfport and then heard from Susan and tried to help w/ last minute color printing on card stuck (OUTies vouchers/tix that needed to be cut for Beach Bazaar). I finally headed south ~1040a, passed a Dick's in Tyrone and swung in to look for the Calia flip flops - they didn't have my size but ordered and was granted the $10 off in-store code. On to Gulfport then, sat w/ Ellen on a swing near the beach and chatted for a bit and then to Neptune's to sit at Susan's table (w/ Sally & Pete from OUT, Jay & Guy) for 1p drag brunch that went till nearly 3p. Had a Mango Cart NA and then tried the Corona NA - both good - very hot! We sat right near the stage, so loud and had to keep craning my neck as well as very uncomfortable chair so wasn't long before neck was stiff and was getting a headache 1/2 way into the show. Was fun tho and Susan was passing out the postcards for OUTies I'd designed and she showed us how the vouchers/tix came out (Beach Bazaar handling). Was glad to leave ~3p, Sally & Ellen had some doc signing to do for Ellen's new gallery loan, they had me sign as the witness. Left my car at Ellen's then and she drove over to show me the new gallery space and what's she's planning to do w/ it - going to be pretty cool! Back to her house and looked at it better (to consider the option of sublease short-term to get myself out of Largo ... not sure about it yet tho and don't have the details). Got back just before 5p, much needed shower and then had cereal followed by lots of other little things - was just feeling empty. Slight head pressure remained thru the evening. Watched some Netflix - to bed early.
