June 27, 2003
victory, pride, & communitythings are happenin', folks...big, important things. i like that they're happening now...just in time to coincide with annual celebrations here and across the country this weekend.
to be honest, i'm not sure how much s and i will actually participate this year...the annual pride celebration lost something (for me, anyway) several years ago, when the "march" turned into a "parade" and the purpose turned into a party. plus, at least in columbus, the people celebrating so publicly on the last weekend in june are about 95% white—which is reflected in not just the crowd, but in the planned events, the music, and the overall vibe. nonetheless, i fully support everyone else as they "party their pride" to new levels. may the drag queens not sweat off their makeup...may the dykes go topless without legal ramification...may the leather boyz avoid excess chafing...and may they and everyone else have a jolly good time. i mean that!
luckily, comfest is this weekend, too, filling most of the same park where the march parade kicks off tomorrow morning...3 days of music, food ("fish boats," YAY!), beer, public weed smoking, and the fuzzy-navel and rum-punch slushies that s and i made for the occasion 2 years ago, and of which we've become quite fond.
my biggest challenge today is...how do i steal some of those orange cones outside my building without anyone noticing, so that we can deter people from taking our parking spot?? :)
