I don't have any "long" as in many days type of plans. Due to the work I do, I have the entire summer off:-) So, far though, I have only one long weekend trip planned. That one is to go to Columbus, OH in June to see my "younger Femme sister", Johnny Weir, skate in the Skate for Hope ice show. The show is a fund raiser for breast cancer support and research.

That is also the weekend of Gay Pride in Columbus:-) There will be a good many of Johnny's fans converging on the city. Most of us know each other via FB, and some of us have met before at other shows. Quite a few of us are Queer, and all who aren't are total allies. I expect that we will being going dancing at one of the Queer clubs the night before the show.

Other than that, I plan to spend a lot of time doing some projects in my back yard. Maybe a trip to Sun Valley, ID, if Johnny skates there again this summer.

Yeah, yeah...I admit that I am a fiend over Johnny Weir. Good interview here: [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jp4cshfaFw"]YouTube - Facetime With Jeanne Beker - Johnny Weir Pt.1[/nomedia]. I have been a fan of figure skating in general for a really long time and fan of Johnny for about 5 years. His ability and style of skating is completely unique. The way in which he melds his physical masculine strength with his feminine sensibilities on the ice reminds me of the style of Rudolph Nureyev's dancing. This last year in particular, having taken it off from competing, Johnny has been revealing more of his depth as a brilliant creative genius and totally fabulous Femme gay guy. The fact that I've had the opportunity to talk with him a couple of times, once being a very intense conversation about certain things we share related to our Queerness, has only served to endear him to me more. The second season of his show "Be Good Johnny Weir" will be airing on Logo TV starting this summer, I think. Right now, episodes from season one are being shown. The show was originally on the Sundance channel. The documentary about Johnny, "Pop Star on Ice" is the first episode in season one.
