twenty-something

I've had the sudden realization that this weekend is Gay Pride here in New York City. Fuck, that snuck right up on me...

Like everything here in the Big Apple, Pride is big and intimidating to yours truly. I mean, look at this list of Pride Weekend parties from New York magazine. That's a lot of shit to do! And some of it requires a lot of money to do it! I have no clue where to begin -- and I don't think I know anyone, at least not well, who's participating in any festivities. I don't even know when the parade is.

It's all a far cry from the last Pride I attended...

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm fishing for advice. Any suggestions for this non-scene guy's first NYC Pride Weekend?
