The AIDS Walk was today.  You all should have known that, because it was so freakin hot today.  It's amazing how many people I know in the circles that do AIDS and GLBT rights work.  I was sitting at the NLA table, folding broshures and pretty much minding my own business.  Out of no where Danny Morton, this years AIDS Walk committee president came up and asked me a question.  In his English accent he said.

"Lewis, would you mind driving Ms. America in the walk today"

It only took a few moments to figure out the right answer, "uh, sure."

After about twenty minutes of trying to reconcile this being an intro into several adolescent fantasies, the lady from the car dealer ship showed me the car.  It was a black BMW Roadster.  By far the most expensive car I've ever been in.  I pretty much forgot that girl after that.

Driving, what turned out to be four passenger in a two seater was interesting.  Ms. America's "handler" was in the passenger seat.  I got the impression she was pretty much a bitch.  Lauren sat in the middle up behind the seats and two guys from RAIN sat on either side of her.  Now you have to realize the AIDS walk isn't really a parade.  As we made our way through bricktown, there really wasn't any crowd for her to wave at.  Hell, if anyone has ever been down there on a Sunday afternoon, you know the place is dead.  Lauren and the two guys in the back were just chatting away, like you would expect a beauty queen and two gay guys too.  Meanwhile her and her handler said very little to each other, but when they did it was very short.  I get idea they don't really get along.

So, just to restate.

I DROVE MS. AMERICA TODAY.

It will be on the news tonight for anyone who reads this before then.  We are DVR'ing it for anyone how wants to come over and see it later.
