Sunday...........
Like the good kid I am, I got up and went to church on Sunday. Actually, I was excited all week for church because we were doing a Blessing of the Animals. Everyone brought their cats, dogs, hermit crabs, etc. We even had a horse (but it stayed outside during the service). The news of the service generated some media attention so all three news stations were there to film. I packed up Aspasia and she did very well in the service. At the end of services, the owner of the horse brought her over and stuck her head in the doorway so the horse could be part of the blessing.
Sunday afternoon my friends and I went back to the park and I ran around. In addition to the information booth, my org was also doing a dunk tank! All in all I think they went well. The culmination of the day is the parade, which kicked off at 5. We rode on a float and threw cheap plastic beads to the masses of people gathered around 39th street. People go nuts for those damn beads....why is that??
After the parade I went home to change and then met some friends out at a club. We bar hopped but didn't drink....too tired and too hot. I was home by 10:30 and glad to be in my nice cool house.
Happy Pride!

HAPPY PRIDE!! Ours was the first weekend of June, but I skipped out on a lot of the partying part - it's very different here in KC. We don't have a centralized "neighborhood" - the bars are spread out all over town and the community center is only open a few hours in the evening. Strange. When you get a chance, tell me a little more about the work you do with cimarron. I remember the past skirmish over their banners but that's all I ever knew them to do. :)
