So our Jesus loving manager Jahn decided to take about 14 of us out on his boat to a bridge on the other side of town which we illegally jump off of every few weeks. But the story of this blog doesn't revolve around the destination but the journey itself. You see, Jahn forgot to take into account that it was Gay Pride week and the Gay Pride Parade was being held in the canals. So unbeknown to our fearless captain we were going to sail straight into the oncoming parade. When we arrived it was all scantily clad men and bass heavy techno on boats. Our manager furiously tried to find an exit but the police stopped the boat in its tracks and told Jahn that the only way to get through the canals was to follow the parade. So in the middle of the parade there we were; a boat of fully clothed christian individuals staring in slight bewilderment at the chaos of thongs and mascara that greeted our eyes. Thousands of people lined the canals dancing and shouting as loud techno music boomed from the speakers of the passing parade boats. Due to the fact that most of us were unsmiling and all of us were fully clothed we were the ultimate buzz kill. Immediately when our boat came into view people stopped smiling. A few more eager individuals tried to keep dancing hoping that we would be encouraged to do the same. And a handful of unhappy party goers decided to boo us. We were definitely the prize winning boat of the parade.
(Notice the great mixture of panic, hesitation, and courage that is painted on the face of Jahn.)
