Big Gay Road Trip: Winnipeg

We spent much of yesterday driving through the Manitoba countryside, which looks mainly like this:

Finally we reached Winnipeg and were excited to go check out the city’s best 80s dance party at the Die Maschine, which is a little hole-in-wall, 2nd floor venue with a great sound system.

We walked in and the first thing we saw was the caged-in dancefloor where the young, mixed crowd was dancing, and a larger-than-usual number of side ponytails were bobbing up and down. The vibe was kind of like a grown-up high school dance, and if they had played “Under The Bridge” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, we would have summoned the courage to ask this hot breaker guy for a dance. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be and we had to settle for watching him bust a move to a remixed “Like a Prayer,” which he was really excited about.

You can see some more of his moves after the jump, along with the some other shots of the club and the decked-out crowd.

Break dancing to a Like a Prayer remix is too funny. I would love to have seen that.

big gay roadtrip sucks. the site should get back to what it does best…gossip, news, discussion of issues of cultural relevance, ranting and raving, and sexy men. PLEASE enough with the “notes from chicago; notes from winnipeg; notes from minnesota”

Well, if nothing else, it’s been good publicity. I’d never followed their blog before they discovered us in their trip to the middle of nowhere and know that a lot of my fellow winnipeggers will continue to watch. Sometimes the every day life of people outside the gay meccas is “culturally relevant” – maybe not to everyone, but then…neither is Big City Gay Life.
