June 28, 2002
festival weekendi am so glad it's not only friday, but the friday before com fest and pride weekend. even tho i won't be marching—after 11 years, i hung up my marching shoes a few years back—and probably won't even make it to pride fest, there's a tangible energy this weekend every year, especially in the neighborhoods where we live and play. even downtown, there are municipally-sanctioned rainbow banners on the lamp-posts lining high street (as the result of a battle fought and won in 2000), and bicentennial park will be swimming with queers as soon as the march ends there at 2 p.m. on sunday.
even with all that excitement, what i'm looking forward to the most is com fest. a kind-of "hippie fest in the park," it's always a cool, laid-back kinda vibe. live music on 3 stages scattered throughout the lovely goodale park...fair food (i'm not sure about deep-fried snickers bars, but the elephant ears are always tasty!), as well as lots of veggie selections...vendors hawking lots of tie-dye, incense, sterling silver, african fabrics, hemp products, smoking accoutrements, and tons of other stuff...booths where you can sign petitions to support issues like the legalization of marijuana, anti-racist action, and clean(er) drinking water...and nearly unfathomable opportunities for people watching (who doesn't love it?). it's just a good, good time. i will spend hours and hours there this weekend.
and as if all that weren't enough, i'm going to see the b52s tonite at promowest pavilion...it will definitely take me back to my college days, the (new wave) child of the 80s that i am. i'm also planning on a pre-march mimosa party tomorrow at 10 a.m. and what's billed as a post-march "tiki tea dance" at 4...so, even with my boobala in nyc for the weekend, i won't be running out of things to do!
have a great weekend, y'all...i know i will!
