Gay Games Chicago Opening Ceremonies
Clips from an amazing evening celebrating people around the world. O yeah, they are also gay who love competition! Chicago was blessed to have the Gay Games this year. Two years ago when I was asked to design their web site, I had no idea what I was doing this for. Tonight (07.15.06), I found out! Nothing beats actually being there, but hopefully these clips will capture parts of the excitement and emotion of the night (4 hour event knocked down to 6 minutes, lucky you!). This was basically a once in a lifetime opportunity that I would like to share with you (straight or gay)!

Kevin:
I wish I could have been there myself. It seems like you have done a great job showing those of us who didn’t make it all the best parts!
Great work…thanks for taking the time to share this!

Kevin…
Hey, I LIKE your 6-minute version! It’s a tad shorter than my ceremony…
Thank you for your glowing comments about the Ceremony… I hope that, for most people, the story I was telling on that field came through, and that the experience was resonant…

Cesario :: First do you have Quicktime 7 installed? You need that to view the main video. I do have an alternative download for Quicktime 6 if you have that. Or if you want to see it in lower video quality I have it posted on YouTube at this address ::
