Red Hot on Fire Island

“Your shirt is soooo old,” exclaimed the slapdash dentist in the Sip ‘n Twirl Bar referring to what he thought was an “I Love NY” t-shirt. “Actually it says, ‘I love Cheer New York. It’s a spin off.” Almost as much as I love Cheer New York, I loved spending a relaxing weekend on Fire Island with my CNY pals, Felipe, Mike, Raelyn, Raymund and Will this past weekend (June 8^th and 9^th) and donning that shirt designed by Will.

Some of the highlights of the weekend were a hilarious game of netless volleyball with other people cheering us on for a change, a marathon drag show (like seriously 4 hours) with Porchia, elite stunts on the beach, talkin’ it up with heel-stretching pool boy and potential recruit Brandon who unfortunately would not allow us to stunt in the pool, and scarfing down some breakfast-burrito and lunch-at-burger-king style pizzas at the local joint in Cherry Grove. Oh, and hitting a chair on the first-go-round in the aforementioned bar with Felipe was pretty awesome, too!

Looking forward to more summer fun in the sun! –Rick H.
