Woke up for the pride parade Saturday. Met up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
automat76 and ryan_rita. The parade itself was rather subdued in comparison to years past. The cool weather meant very few shirtless women. There was also a lack of boys in panties, which began last year. Still, there is no better people watching than the convergence of pride and comfest. I did get several photos for the tongue in cheek "Field Guide to Lesbian Haircuts" that automat76 proposed several years ago.
And, I was glad to see that that thing that scared the crap out of me last Thursday was actually a float in the parade. I had the URL wrong -- it's pantsonfire.net
We went to Betty's then for a couple bloody marys, and Bitch, of Bitch & Animal was sitting in the window, where she'd watched the parade. We were going to buy her lunch but missed our window. Back home for a few hours of relaxing, then back to fest. Got Salty Carmel ice cream and Dark Cocoa Gelato from Jeni's, which had a little cart there.
Stuck around at the gazebo stage for a while knitting and being amazed at the sheer volume of the crowd. Unbelievable numbers of people -- the weather was stellar, and the festival was laid out better than ever before, so the crowd wasn't surly like it can be normally. Was knitting for a while, and had a guy who was handing out fliers look at me like I was an idiot when I refused to take one, saying "I'm sorry, my hands are full." (That should have been apparent.) So he left it beside me. It was a flier for a Christina Aguilara concert in Pittsburgh, with fire eaters and acrobats. Um, yeah.
Saw Katie Reider that evening, and then wandered about again. Ran into one of my yoga teachers and felt super guilty for not having been to class in quite some time. I ended up going home early and ran into B & J, who very breathlessly told me they'd come from Mac's where they'd had dinner with Jello Biafra (who had performed at comFest)
