TIRH and I are excited to announce that we’ll be spending the first weekend that the Goodridge decision takes effect in Massachusetts, in Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA. I’m so excited about this because, a) I get so antsy staying in one place for too long, b) bed and breakfasts rock, c) bed and breakfasts most likely owned by gay men especially rock and d) how cool is it that we’ll maybe get to see some same-sex marriage action? (I don’t mean action-action, just a ceremony or reception or something. Mind! Out of gutter! Now!)

Here are a number of facts about our trip to Provincetown:

a) When I asked TIRH if he would like to blog about it, he responded, “You can have this one.” Hmmmm.
b) It is valuable to note that TIRH and I didn’t plan to crash P-Town on such an important weekend. Going there off-season is just way more affordable.
c) We are staying at the Beaconlight.
d) Our visit coincides with Cabaret Festival 2004. I don’t know that we’re much into that, but it is a fact.
e) We could go whale-watching, maybe.
f) We can rent bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!
g) We could go to the Pirate Museum. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! <-- You'll want to click on the Rrrr!
h) We will definitely go to many fine, tasty restaurants.
i) We will do lots of shopping, I’m sure. Plenty of useless things made out of seashells will be purchased.
j) I doubt we will swim, but beach-going will happen.

I haven’t been to P-Town since 1998. I have a picture of me in a funny hat from the Mad Hatter store where we weren’t supposed to take pictures. The only other things I remember are a bonfire on the beach (Truro? I can’t remember), lots of drunkenness and sleeping in a tent. That was the first year I moved to Massachusetts and at the time I had no idea I would end up in Western Massachusetts. I think I still thought I was destined to be a Bostoner. Boy was I wrong.

Any tips, suggestions for our trip? Leave them in the comments section.
