have fun at pride without me

For gay hubris day gay pride day 2004, I did my laundry. In 2005, I left the city for the weekend. This year, I'm flying to Winnipeg for a wedding.

One of these years, I hope to get back into a "pride mood." For now, I've had enough of:

  • the performance stage near my apartment that makes the building vibrate for 2 days
  • the crushing, gawking, flip-flop-wearing, sunscreen-slimy crowds
  • the overflowing portable toilets with the interminable lineups
  • the excessively cautious beer garden rules (also with interminable lineups)



    Here is a picture of me in 1997, when I had a great time at pride. (It should be noted that I didn't live right in the heart of Church/Wellesley then, so I had a place to "escape" to if I needed a time-out.) Who's that person next to me? I've digitally altered his appearance, but I can tell you that he might be one of my favourite "aunts."

    Have fun. Wear condoms. I'll see you Tuesday.

    Have fun at the wedding.

    YJA looks a little drunk. Did you take advantage of him, or were you a gentleman?

    I want it to be over. Why can't I come to Winnipeg?

    You're like the gay Scrooge, aren't you? Ruining everyone's Christmas. Shame on you.

    I've tried three times, how am I supposed to wear this condom? Some instructions for a girl next time, please.

    Have fun at the wedding and get drunk on the bride's parent's dollar.
    I think that was the year I had a 10am party so we'd all be drunk in time for the parade. It worked.

    I told one of the security persons at the Black Eagle that I had to go "pee pee" and I was able to jump a line. AB

    What, laundry isn't a great way to celebrate special occasions?

    I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one Pride-d out.
