Default Stevie in the SF gay pride parade
I'm watching the parade on TV. One of the floats just went by, and they're blasting the Dreams remix.
If you think about it, I would be suprised if she wasn't there.

Any of our SF boys go? RickyPT, Bombay?

Watching it on TV? Why aren't you there?! Haha... just kidding. I probably won't go to the big parade today, I'm still hung over from yesterday. I went to the "Dykes on Bikes" parade last night. Good times!

I love the parade! I skated in it once. In a tutu.
I miss the City!

Heh. It was over about 1/2 hour after I woke up.

I like that skating in a tutu thing, though.

Damn, it must be Stevie day. They just compared K.T. Tunstall to her, Ricki Lee, and...someone else.

It was a joy to skate down Market st., following the Stud wagon.

That is fricking awesome! Why were you skating? (I mean, which group or whatever were you with/representing)?

About K.T. - Yes, i said that a week or so ago here in another thread, when I first saw her performing live on T.V. I thought it was amazing as well. However, her songs are pretty good, better than most, but not earth shattering. I would probably go see her, though. Oh, wait, she was at KFog kaboom in the city a bit back, it was free, and I didn't go. Still...

I don't like big crowds, either. Also, one time i went to halloween in the city - and it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. No bathrooms, really hard to get a beer, walking up and down steep hills all night, freezing cold....
This parade looks like more fun, though - at least it is stationary (no traversing the hills) and in warmer weather. I'll make it sometime.

That car behind us was the Hamburger Mary's/Cissy's Saloon car, and there were three of us on skates, two in drag, and me. It was way back in '88, or '87.

So, you worked there? Skating in parades. Is there anything better?

I worked there, it was a wild time!
Skating is like flying - the best!
That parade - I don't think I was ever more in love with my City than at that time.

Bombay, I find that I can't really handle large, packed crowds like that anymore either.

went to the dutch 'pink saturday' (or Roze Zaterdag, as it's known here), but I completely missed the parade (which isn't much here, really) (though the participation of gay police officers did make the news) because I was at a debate about taboos in lesbo-land.. quite funny, that. Glad no one pushed a mike under my nose though.
Which did happen at the vibrator-theatre show I went too
