Provincetown 2007
Summer is one of the best times in NewEngland. After months of snow, bitter cold and longing for some warm weathers, Summer is a real boon. The warm weathers does perks everyone up. Like last year ptown is my first destination for the summer of 2007. My friend bill wanted to go as well, so we ended up renting a 2 bedroom condo in the Town center area. very convenient and walking distance to the town and close to everything. I suppose staying in a condo is very convenient in terms of having your own space, cook, clean and be yourself. It sort off gives you a at home feeling, that’s very enjoyable, cozy and soothing.
Every day is different and unique. During some casual conversation someone observed how much the gay community visiting or staying is much older community. Where is the younger crowd? One of the reason being this place has become wicked expensive. I wouldn’t agree more. The demographic mostly is 40 something White men. Lots of them come here on vacation or have own places and come and go as they please. In the day time you see families and younger crowd. You can see straight guys holding on to their girlfriends tight and they seem to be very self conscious for being there. Most of them are very cute and it doesn’t help either, its stuff under the prying eyes of hungry wolfs. 
Not only that this place should attract more younger crowd, it should attract more diverse crowd. I am tired of constantly getting stared at, because most of them have not seen a gay Indian guy before and I stand out in the crowd. No wonder I am insisting on diversity in this small heck of a place. Its very important for me to see diversity, unfortunately this place has a long way to go to achieve that aspect. Its not easy to achieve that. People come here on a voluntary basis, its their time and money. But unless if this place makes it friendly, they wont comeback.
This year around, it dawned on me. We try to stereotype a typical gay guy. Their life runs on the social calendar.. Wakeup(hopefully in your bed), get coffee, get some lunch, beach, T dance, dinner, club, spiritus pizza, D*** dock. Let us not forget shopping in between. There is alcohol involved all day, lunch, beer at the beach, drinks at T dance, drinks for dinner, club.. its never ending saga of alcohol. If one is happy with the never ending supply of alcohol and men, they are all set. But life is more involved than this. You can organize your own schedule and your own schedule and do things you want to. This is called vacation not a package tour.
I want to spend my vacation my way, on my schedule and on my terms. Its nothing I want to do on others terms and conditions. Its my downtime and I want to do things in my phase. Thats something I was looking forward to and believe me I enjoy that way. Nothing beats it.
