Well, I think I've fully recovered from Gay Pride Mardi Gras..no no not that I was that drunk, I've just never seen that many speedo's and drag queens in my life! It was a blast though and if i wasn't already before, I have become avid supporter of gay rights.
The morning started out just as any others have, a shower, some toast and a goon bag (4 liter bag of cheap wine). We got downtown at probably 2 PM and had some lunch at the local Hungry Jacks (read Burger King) and looked for a place to watch the parade. Already at about 3PM people were lining up to get a good spot. I don't regret waiting for 4 hours for the parade to start, but in hindsight once you've seen about 5 gay floats, you've kind of seen them all. I think a lot of pain and consternation could have been saved had we not been determined to have the best spot for the entire 3 and a half hour ordeal. But you only live once right and the waiting wasn't all bad because as you can probably imagine the people watching was phenomenal.
The parade ended
and we got a slice of za and a 1.5 liter bottle of water and I turned in for the night. School starts up again tomorrow, I can't believe its week two of school and I've only had class for two days, I don't have any books yet so right now I'm just kinda flying by the seat of my pants! Have a good Saturday night!
