May 29

This afternoon my friends Alex and ‘Kique (Spanish nickname for Enrique), and Alfredo invited me to a party at a friend’s home by the lake. This was my first exposure to deaf culture. ‘Kique is deaf and he began as our guide but since everyone was so friendly, it was really easy to get to know the great people at the party.The Fantastic Four:
Omar, ‘Kique, Alex, and Alfredo


and now for the party pics!

Some of the guys teaching me to sign.

A very funny guy and Omar

‘Kique is NOT ready to leave the party

… later that night we went to a Atlanta’s only gay sports bar called Woofs - now what makes this bar tolerable is the great easy-going guys and that they play gay music instead of the sound of the sports games.
These pictures were taken with Alex and ‘Kique’s camera:
