Pride of the Past!
I’m Too Sexy:
Thursday night ChicagoPride.com, 103.5 KISS FM and Smirnoff * who reminds you to drink responsibly hosted the pre-pride "I'm Too Sexy" event at Hydrate. We had such a blast! My dear friend Ronnie Kroell from Bravo’s “Make Me A Supermodel” joined KISS FM midday DJ Nina Chantele and I in the hosting duties. We even had a surprise guest star in everyone’s favorite, Miss Foozie. Honestly, that lady could make a paper bag and a phone book fun!
I really want to give a special thank you too all the folks at 103.5 KISS FM and Smirnoff for all their hard work and sponsorship of these “I’m Too Sexy” events! Trust me folks, they are giving back BIG TIME into the LGBT community.
I’m Too Drexy:
For those of you who were listening to
103.5 KISS FM with Drex, & Mel-T you were probably able to hear a familiar voice. ME! Heavens did we have some fun! We spent a few minutes talking about Pride, the parade put on by Richard Pfeiffer and his team at PRIDE Chicago and the great news that Drex was going to be on the KISS FM/ChicagoPride.com/Smirnoff float!
Pride Fest:
Pride Fest on Saturday was a great success! Although there were a few bad weather moments it made for some cozy opportunities with new friends underneath the tent. Thanks to JT, Kevin Anthony, Jordan, Jason, Hunter, GoPride.com’s, Michael Livingston and ChicagoPride.com’s Editor-at-Large, Jason Freeman for all their help and support. Thanks also to ChicagoPride.com’s executive team, Steve, Daniel, Matthew, and Brian, for setting up and tearing down the booth.
Pride:
Ronnie Kroell and I were on the KISS FM/ChicagoPride.com/Smirnoff float! (See Picture Above) Joining us in the debauchery were some seriously cute boys including my best friend Isaiah and friends Olin, Brian, Steve and my gal-pal, Jake Conrad.
Sadly there was an interruption in the parade when one of the floats ran over a spectator. It seems this individual thought they could run between the truck and the trailer it was pulling and since they were going so slow. This incident held the parade for 45 minutes but we all managed to have fun and dance the time away!
Having KISS FM’s morning DJ, Drex on the float was a real treat! Whenever there was a lull in the noise of the crowd he would yell out “George Bush can kiss my ____”. That got them wound up! Having Drex’s cute producer, Jason on the float was fine with all of us too! This is how we “Do’s It” bitches!
It was SO nice to see friends in the crowd! I saw Advisor Edward, Bill Healy, Russell Daugherty, Jim Halsted, and Freddy Allen & his partner Lance. I also caught the eye of Kirk Williamson From Nightspots. I was so happy to see my dear friends Jeremy Ehrhart, Virginia Jones, and Adrianne Holt! (Gosh, I’ve missed seeing her!)
After Pride:
When we reached the parades end, we all collapsed and regrouped. I have to say that Drex went above and beyond in his work on the float. Don’t let the scepter fool ya! He even lost his voice so Paul, the station manager called in to make arrangements for Drex to have the day off on Monday.
Jake and Isaiah went home and Steve, Olin, Brian, Ronnie, and I went up the street to ChicagoPride.com’s after-parade party at Cesar’s on Broadway. We had such a great time recapping the fun of the parade and enjoying some “Killer Margarita’s”! A special thank you goes to Israel and his entire staff for their great service and tasty food!
From there we all went to Firefly to enjoy some libations. There we ran into super cute Kirk McNamara! He is such a dear person and has one petite bottom. (Wink) With Kirk was Cocktail bartender David and uber cute Jeff Conway. I also met Chicago newcomer, Adam Ballard. Talk about a quality guy! We had so much to talk about and I especially related to his old soul! That type is too rare these days. Watch out boys, he’s a cutie too!
We all moved down to Minibar|Winebar for more libations and to listen to my buddy DJ Phil DaBeatz. How much do I love that guy! He’s so damn gifted at getting the room happy and alive! Of course the staff at M|W worked their butts off. Boystown Icon, Linda Litte was there to show her pride!
Around 9:30 I realized that it was time for Billy to move on home to a comfy couch and a furry Bitch. With a pit-stop at Boystown favorite, Pie Hole Pizza, (I know, I broke the low-cal food for the weekend) I ventured on home. Over all, it was a fun Pride!
SHOUT OUTS:
Today’s shout out goes to all the amazing people in this world who support their gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans-gendered daughters, brothers, parents, sons, friends, and co-workers! Without all of the support we get in and too the community our Pride wouldn’t be as evident!
Best wishes!

PRIDE
Pride Guide:
Hard to believe that we are already at Pride’s doorstep! I can say with a great deal of authority that a lot of work has gone into preparation for this grand weekend! Club, restaurant, and store owner alike have put out their finest rainbow colored flag and napkin in anticipation of a fun filled weekend!
Wonderfully, the team at ChicagoPride.com have once again produced the Pride Guide; your one stop guide to Chicago’s Pride festivities! With all the events going on in the city this week, you might want to plan ahead!
Pride Fest:
Do stop by and see the boys and me at Pride Fest this Saturday! It goes from 11AM to 9PM. Yours truly will be hosting the ChicagoPride.com Booth with some of the hottest Boystown Boys around! Come get a picture and say hello!
Pride Sunday:
Ronnie Kroell and I will be on the ChicagoPride.com/103.5 KISS FM/Smirnoff float! Joining us in the debauchery will be none other than KISS FM’s morning DJ, Drex! This is how we “Do’s It” bitches!
SHOUT OUT:
I want to say thank you to Richard Pfeiffer and his team at PRIDE Chicago for all their work in making the Pride Parade what it is! Often confused for being the ones who organize the parade, ChicagoPride.com can’t take credit for the awesome service that PRIDE Chicago does for the city’s LGBT community each year. I personally salute Richard and his staff on a job well done!
Happy Pride!

LOL.....love the shout out to all the bitches! =) That made me giggle!
Cousin Bill! I just reading your comments on your father, and as I was reading it I was thinking to myself that he is so amazing in great part because of his parents, your grandparents. And then you hit that nail on the head as you concluded. The Pritchards were remarkable people, and good to the core. They all placed us first. Their children and grandchildren were blessed to receive their love. We're lucky kids! (Even if I am 48! I learned THAT from your father!) Hope to see you at Market Days. -your Cousin Bill

MAYor I HELP YOU!
Citizen With Pride:
In a resent publication of the GO Guide I was asked to share who my favorite LGBT Icon was and way.
You will find no greater fan of Mayor Richard Daley than I am, so I submitted the following:
"Since being voted in as the 54th mayor of Chicago in 1989, Mayor Daley has been a stalwart advocate of LGBT people. He has shown time and time again his compassion and belief in our community. The evidence of this dedication is everywhere! From the rainbow pylons throughout Boystown to his embracing of the 2006 Gay Games, Mayor Daley continues to be one of the community's greatest friends."
Last night he proved me right at the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations' Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues in celebration of Pride Month. His speech was out of this world and from the heart!
I am BEYOND Proud to be a citizen of Chicago under his leadership!

Bill + Ben = Forever!
Why Is The Brit In The Bathroom:
Due to weather and “Other” distractions, my London friends Rory and David arrived around 11PM on Saturday. By the time they got to where they were staying it would have been 12:30AM before they would have gotten to Boystown. Too bad to because Advisor Edward was hosting us for Champaign and tasty bits at his and Dr. Drew’s flat. It is always a pleasure to be there! It’s warm, charming, and loaded with books! The conversations are also very entertaining. Joining us was Isaiah (Who was sportin a new haircut) and Bill Healy, and Ben Hartman. Edwards upstairs neighbors and their friend also joined in the fun!
Gay Church:
The next morning Isaiah and I joined Rory and David for Brunch at Angelina’s. What a lively place! We had a lovely visit and enjoyed catching up. Hell, I even love to watch them eat. They even do that better than we in the states!
Brett, Philip and all the gang at Angelina’s sure keep everyone well served and entertained! Of course my Lesbian Lover, Amy Gaw is in residence as the brunch bartender. Damn girl makes a pretty good Bloody Mary! Hair of the dog! (Not your hair Buffy!)
Fun Day:
I wanted David to meet Miss Foozie on his trip here. Of course he loved her and the fun at Male Call at Roscoe’s. Joining us was my pals JP and Erin. We also made a stop at Minibar|Winebar for a glass of wine. David loved it there! It was a splendid time!
Happy Birthday Track’s!:
At the invitation of my pal (The damn attractive) Jimmy Kays I went to the Sidetrack 26th Anniversary Party on Tuesday. Joining me was my dear friend Steve Rollins. Gosh was it good to catch up and get some boy (Note: When I say boy I’m not referring to children but rather the male gender.) watching in!
While at Sidetrack I ran into/saw David Kaufman of award winning Kaufman Segal Design, and Circuit Mom’s alter-ego DJ Matthew Harvat. I also saw Kale Ness, Paul Kepner (Enjoying the free Miller Lite’s) and Brian May from afar. It was nice to bump into NITRO Producer Will Harrison. From across the room I saw Center on Halsted’s own, (The super cute) Ian Bonner and Homos Are A Hoot maven, Kevin Hauswirth.
I had the pleasure of running into some of the Minibar|Winebar gang showing their support. Jay, Nick, Kyle, Oryan, and Boystown Icon Linda Little.
Art Johnson Is My Hero!:
For those of you Chicago folks who’ve seen WTTW channel eleven’s special documentary on the history of Chicago’s Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender community called Out & Proud In Chicago you know the name of Sidetracks co-owner, Art Johnson. His recant of the challenging times in the LGBT community made me cry. It was especially nice to see him so happy at the party! (Note: Out & Proud In Chicago is scheduled for one more showing on June 15th at 6:00 PM.
Ronnie And His Fans:
My pals Ronnie Kroell, Bill Healy, and Russell Daugherty met up with me at Minibar|Winebar for a few libations. At one point a terribly kind fan of Ronnie’s named Jim Birren bought us some tasty shots. Ronnie’s friend Steve joined us and we headed back to Sidetrack. While there we ran into community friend, Greg Baird. Introducing him to Ronnie was like introducing God the Father to Jesus the son. These two could change the world!
