Slideshow: Folsom Street East 2009

Despite the intermittent showers, the folks at Folsom Street East pulled off another huge success, with Chelsea's W. 28th mobbed at times from end to end. As per usual, there was a guy with a snake, a guy with a parrot, and just to shake up tradition - a guy with a weasel. Also: drunk boys, leather boys, and pony boys. My judging duties during the porn star contest called for slightly more interaction than last time, but of course those photos cannot appear here. The skies really opened up around 7pm, sending a tidal wave of wet leatherette into the Eagle, where tents magically appeared over the rooftop deck. Super fun day. Full-screen versions of the above photos can be found here.
