Looking good, Marls! Matilda too! We should get together again sometime for another jam session. All three of us even!

Which reminds me, Ryder, how’s the cajón been working out?

God, he’s told you about that? I’m sorry. He can talk your ear off if he gets started.

Completely unrelated! The show’s on Syfy Channel and it’s kinda like Project Runway for theatrical and movie makeup. The stuff these people can pull off is incredible. The new season starts up in a couple weeks I think.

We love Doctor Who! We were thinking about getting a group together to watch the new series from the beginning once a month or so; you and Heather are more than welcome if you’re interested.

I don’t know, I think it’s sweet. He really likes his animation. I haven’t watched “MLP,” but... I think it’s on Netflix? I may try it out, once I’ve seen some Teen Wolf first, that is.

I haven’t seen Project Runway either, but I’ve heard about it. But... movie make up and stuff... like... making people look like space aliens and face-melting zombies? That kind of thing? That... sounds really cool. What day of the week is it?

Ooh! That sounds like a great idea! I’ll let her know. I’m sure she’d love the chance to watch more Doctor Who. I’m more a passing fan, but that sounds like a lot of fun.

Unscripted … I dunno. Face Off is pretty cool. What’re you into?

I don’t know, doesn’t Adam watch My Little Pony? You watch what you like. I’ve never seen Teen Wolf, but I’ll see if I can get my hands on it, give it a shot.

I... know a movie by the name of “Face Off” but don’t think I’ve ever heard of that one as a show. I don’t suppose the two are at all related?

I usually watch whatever Heather’s into. She’s a big fan of Psych, but that ended, last year? I think? Oh, and Castle and Bones. She likes the mystery shows that are lighter. And Doctor Who. I blame David Tennant, though I like Capaldi, the current Doctor pretty well, too.

It’s kind of a dumb guilty pleasure, but my FAVORITE (scripted) SHOW is back this week! (I’m hoping I can con my boys into watching it with me like they did last year.)

#dash #elliott dash #elliott

What... show is that? Also... what’s your favorite UNscripted show?

Sorry, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I have a few guilty pleasure shows of my own. I wouldn’t mind checking out yours.

On an auspicious weekend

And I’m Kurt. This is not my usual type of introduction I have to gie you fair warning. This is celebratory introduction. YOu should get a real one later. Remind me. This is a terrible first impression.

Dennis. Are you Elliott’s Dennis? I mean - do you know Elliott Gilbert? A friend of mine was just talking about a Dennis he lost but like - in the crowd, not lost in a lost way. Sorry. That’s a common enough name, isn’t it? And you’re married. To a wife! It’s fantastic that you’re celebrating with us.

Well, I’d be honored to meet you in person for a real introduction too! Though I don’t think you’re giving a bad first impression at all. You’re having fun. It’s a fun night, and a fun weekend. And there are plenty of reasons to be celebrating today!!

I DO know an Elliott Gilbert! I just finished seeing him perform on stage here, actually! He’s GREAT! So... yeah, I think that’s probably me. You’re talking about Adam, right? I have gotten kinda separated from them... We’ll figure it out.

On an auspicious weekend

We’d be celebrating anyway, either the decision or Pride on its own, and now it’s just one amazgin weekend just packed full of so much love. Eveyone’s so happy. we’ve been fighting for so long and now we’re here.

Welcome to San Francisco! Do I know you? Or the other half of your “we”?

I... don’t think we have met, actually. Sorry. That’s my bad. I should have introduced myself.

I’m Dennis! The other half of my “we” would be my wife, Heather.

It’s such a huge step forward. I’m so happy for us, and for America as a whole. I’m proud to be a part of this country right now!! :D

On an auspicious weekend

such as this, I can think of no better celebration, in no better city in our (arguably) fair country, than the one I find myself at tonight with my best friend and … so many attractive people in rainbow paint and glitter. So many.

I am so happy to finally be able to say: #LoveWins

#LoveWins !!!

Can I just say, I love the way that hashtag is phrased? It’s amazing. There are so many people out celebrating this weekend. I came out here with some friends, but we seem to have gotten separated.

Only moved here a few weeks ago, but it has yet to be anything but the best decision we’ve ever made!

Adam: Yeah... I'm just so thankful.

Adam: I know, I know, already said that but just... I care about them so much.

Adam: Sorry. Ramble. I should be getting off to work. Thanks for the congratulations. I'll see you at Pride tomorrow still?

Dennis: It's sweet. How much you care.

Dennis: Yeah. Tomorrow. I'll see you then. Have a good night at work, Adam.

Texts || Dadam

Adam: Not... really?

Adam: Sorry. No. I know what you mean I just... wouldn't describe Elliott like that.

Adam: But, I mean, your relationship with him is different than ours. Just as your relationship with him is different than that with your wife.

Dennis: I don't think my relationship with Heather is... THAT different... Other than how I live with her, and we file taxes together.

Dennis: I'm glad you and Elliott are close though. It's good that you have that connection.

Texts || Dadam

Adam: Yeah, of course. I won't tell him. But... I'm not sure I know what you mean?

Dennis: Oh, just that he's kind of a private person. Quiet. Not too... overt in his affections.

Dennis: If that makes sense?

Texts || Dadam

Adam: Thank you. Yeah...

Adam: With Heather? You mean?

Adam: Well, yeah, of course. Sorry. I'm not sure why I asked that.

Dennis: Lol! :D

Dennis: It's fine. Really. And yeah. Heather. But.. also Elliott.

Dennis: Could you not tell him though? I... haven't told him yet. I just... don't want to... overwhelm him. Just, you know how he is.

Texts || Dadam

Adam: It /IS/ what matters. I... am so thankful. Every day I get to spend with them. Every day with Elliott, Ryder, Kurt. I just... I love them so much.

Adam: Sorry, going a little gooey on you there.

Dennis: You have nothing to apologize for, Man.

Dennis: It's sweet. How much you care about all of them.

Dennis: I know how you feel.

Texts || Dadam

Adam: Gay marriage may be legalized, but bigamy still isn't. It's okay though. I don't need to marry them to know how much I love them.

Dennis: Oh. Oh.... Oh, Adam... I'm so sorry. [UNSENT]I... would you want to? If... you could?[UNSENT]

Dennis: But you still have each other. And you live together. And you love each other. That's what really matters.

Texts || Dadam

Adam: Yeah!!

Adam: I mean... I can't... really exercise the right, but still. It's nice to have it validated.

Dennis: You can't? How so?

Texts || Dadam

Adam: Oh! Oh, hell. I'm so sorry, Dennis. Marriage Equality. I got so excited, I must have clicked the wrong button. Thanks!

Dennis: No problem. Happy to help.

Dennis: And yeah! I saw that! Congrats to you guys! It's such a big deal! Took them long enough too. But still. I'm so happy for you.

Texts || Dadam

Adam: OMG! Ryder! It's happened?!!! Why did no body tell me it's happened?! You should ahve teexted me. Oh! My God!

Dennis: Hey, Adam. Congratulations? I'm not sure what for? And I think you've sent this to the wrong person, but still. Congrats! :D For... whatever it is?

Pride! [Private]

It’s a little different if you’re a straight guy.

Yeah, sure. Whatever. Thanks, Big Bird for that important lesson.
