The Big Day Arrives in SF...

Today is the day I meet a lot of fellow bloggers. There is going to be a lunch gathering. Moby is the one who thought of it, so when that sleepy head wakes up, I'll find out more details. Then there is the thing later tonight at Rob's. I am going to meet soooo many bloggers in one day... my head may explode.

Yesterday, Tony and I had so much fun at The Midnight Sun. I really love that place. I am more of an afternoon barfly, so this place was perfect for me. We watched the best music videos. I wore my "Real Men Do Men" blue t-shirt and my purple LSU ballcap and worked the crowd. The people at this place were not cliquish. I could talk to any of them like they were New Orleanians at the Bourbon Pub. Tony just smiled at me the whole time.... enjoying the "Brett Show".

Afterwards, at Baghdad Cafe, we had an interesting conversation about my "personality". He had heard the story of my childhood before. He said, "I can't believe that you didn't have any friends growing up". That allowed me to explain that I was making up for lost time now. While some think I am just an attention whore, they don't know I was always the boy that sat alone in the library before school and at lunch. They don't know that I always ate lunch alone in the cafeteria at a table by myself. They don't know that I had to conquer my own rejection of myself (for being gay and different), before I could be comfortable in my own skin... and be the Brett you see now. That conversation with Tony made me feel proud. I felt a surge of happiness in seeing how my life has progressed. It is the story of a boy that conquered his own fears and now has a happy life with plenty of friends.

Today I meet many bloggers that know me from this blog. I am going to be a smiling boy. Hopefully, I will not have a gnawing feeling of them saying "Oh... there is that attention whore brettcajun". I do have a reason for the madness that is brettcajun. I look forward to possibly seeing Woofbrandon, Kel, Daigle, Chad Fox, and many many other bloggers. I will take MANY pictures. This is my blog's most important day!
