Obama contingent at Pride 2008, and the rest of my weekend

Among other wonderful things I did this weekend, I marched with [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom in the Obama-supporters contingent in the Pride parade. I took lots of pictures. And a generous person marching with us took a couple of me and [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom:


I’m eventually going to upload a whole bunch of them to Flickr, but for now, here’s a representative sample.

After the Pride march, we hung out with the delightful [livejournal.com profile] surrealestate at the festival and wandered around and collected swag and ate festival food. We also sat at the Poly Boston table for a while.

Other wonderful things I did this weekend were go to the annual Beginning of Summer party where we didn’t stay very long (we were tired from Pride) but I got to see lots of wonderful people and I took some pictures of firespinners which you all should pester me to post, have yummy breakfast at the Burren with [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom, and help [livejournal.com profile] darxus and [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine pack for the move to [livejournal.com profile] darxus’ new place.

I would be much more eloquent about all this if I weren’t so tired. But it was all wonderful.

Huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sunspiral and [livejournal.com profile] roozle (and a bunch of volunteers) for a wonderful party, to David W. and the other people who organized the Obama contingent to march (they were very well organized!), to [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom for a wonderful weekend and especially for letting me know there was an Obama contingent to march with, and to [livejournal.com profile] alan7388 for doing a fabulous job putting together the Poly Boston table at the festival. And to [livejournal.com profile] darxus for pizza, and to [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine for deciding it should be pineapple-and-bacon. And to [livejournal.com profile] surrealestate just for being [livejournal.com profile] surrealestate.

hee! You looked like you were having fun. The pics I ran up to take of you didn't come out. I rushed them, having left my backpack on the sidewalk. :( Still, glad to hear you had a good time.

This is a scary picture, because the two of you look so much alike in it. Wow!

I'm waaaay behind on LJ, but I'm glad you had a great Pride.
