I LOVE IT WHEN...  
fandom collides with reality.

I was having lunch (read wasting time shooting the shit with a friend) w/ my beloved L. Ko. (who has watched - thanks to me - all of QaF and who ran out to buy her own copies of the dvds) and we're chatting away when she says, "Listen. Do you hear that?"

I take a breath and cock my head and listen and very faintly I hear music. I look over at L Ko and say, "What is it?.....OMG, it's PROUD."

And yes my sweet flist, she caught it before I did. LOL

So, has Queer as Folk showed up in your reality? Where? When? How?

Today I met somebody named harold harrison.

I heard Proud about three times this summer in various locations. My age-addled brain can’t remember exactly where, but I know I squeed each time!

Proud came on when I was grocery shopping a couple of weeks ago. I was amused.

Also, not to surprisingly, the music video, QaF style, was on when I was at Pride, at a Gay Bar. Also amusing.

I guess my most recent was the wedding I attended last month. Three QAF songs at the reception, a road named Liberty Ave and a groom named Brian. All in one day!

Oh, feeling the luv in the world...last Friday I was standing on the subway platform, waiting for the train to the airport, frazzled because I was late getting there in the first place and even more so because the train just wasn't coming, trying to ignore the homeless guy who kept repeating the pertinent lyrics being sung by the busker 10 feet away to me (oh yeah, he wanted some hot stuff baby tonight), and realized that the busker's accompaniment had suddenly become very familiar. And, there, on the dreary, dirty subway platform in the middle of the workday, with very little musical merit to the performance, was I swept away into happy thoughts of ridiculous romance by a tinny karaoke version of "Save the last dance" and some guy vaguely singing the melody, hoping for some change.

And I did make my plane, too, so that was good.

A few weeks ago I was at the grocery store with my nephew and sister and Proud started playing. I almost started dancing in the check-out line. :D

While driving down a back road in southern New Jersey, I came across a sign reading "Craig Taylor Real Estate". I didn't know he had branched out.

A major furniture chain in my conservative country used Proud as their theme in their radio and TV ads. I figured Brian Kinney did the ad for them for the irony! Anyway, the ad industry has the most no of out gays.

Also I was at a tenant's bistro opening - one of those street culture joints - feeling totally out of place and "Here Comes Another One" comes on and I started singing along. My host looked at me in amazement "you know this song???" hee!

qaf is everywhere and it makes me so happy.

One time I was in the grocery store humming and then I paused, listened and I was humming to PROUD. I had to call Xie. LOL

A few weeks ago a tax lawyer took me to see his client. We were driving in his black Jeep *giggles*, when suddenly Forever Young was on the radio. Man, I so badly wanted to shout FAGGOT!!! :D

FABULOUS!

I remember one time I was in court waiting for my case to be called and the defendant up there was _____ Kinney and he was pleading guilty to stealing rims from a car and I had to bite my lip because all I could think was: Brian would be so disappointed cuz he was doing something wrong. ;)

I see QAF Everywhere
Oh, I run into QAF-related things all the time... From a street sign of "Gale Street" to "Kinetika" buildings (http://www.kinetikaonline.co.uk/, an international arts company!), and hearing "Let's Hear It For The Boy" in movie house bathrooms (lol), I hear and see QAF everywhere! I just saw a black jeep on the freeway and I couldn't helping squeeing to myself, wondering where Brian was driving, hee!
