Pride Week is here again! Yay! For this year’s Pride Parade, I am again going to be involved in Evolve’s float and hopefully it won’t end up being a fiasco like last years. I doubt it will: the pool party is being held after tomorrow’s street festival instead of before the parade. That way I won’t end up lost in Dupont with no keys, no cash, no ATM card, no phone, no dignity, etc.

Yesterday I went over to Jeff & Chris’s house to do a little decorating. Jeff had seen some of the restaurants on 17th St put up these huge rainbow flags using plastic tablecloth covers and he wanted to wrap the School’s metal fence in them. Surprisingly it didn’t take us nearly as long as I thought it would. I thought we’d fold the table clothes and weave them through the fence but Jeff’s idea was to bunch up each color which made much more sense and allowed for tweaking the spacing of the stripes once they were put in place.

I think it turned out looking pretty great! Neighbors and passersby were making approving comments as we were putting it up, and one person even asked if there was a new bar opening up. They apparently don’t know about Dick & Kitty’s upstairs!

Last night I went with J & C, Eddy and the gang over to the (newly renamed) EFN Bar for a Pride happy hour that had $5 half-pitchers of Blue Moon Hefeweizen and free pizza. Not a bad deal at all. And here’s Jeff, beaming with pride at his new fence and happy with his Coors.
