Sunday was Pride Day!

Being in the SF Bay Area, I attended the Gay Pride Parade on Sunday with some of my oldest friends, including a friend I met at my first parade [mumble] years ago. When first we all caught up with each other I was greeted with a boy scout bearing mimosas, so well prepared!

I was surprised with how corporate the entire event has become. Pepsi was passing out Mardi Gras beads with little Pepsi cans on them. Other companies had their own floats.


Tylenol even showcased the resurrected Madame. (If you don't remember Wayland Flowers and Madame, check out her new site.)

But don't worry, there's still more than enough of the grass roots, home grown craziness we expect. Including, my favorites, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
