Happy Pride Week

This is my third attempt at creating this post; if TypePad doesn't allow it, I'm going to throw a pot of geraniums down my front steps.  Also, all apologies if the post is a little disjointed.  I inexplicably slept like a sedated infant last night and couldn't get up until like noon today.  I'm all groggy.

Happy Pride Week!  Make sure you get out and show your support by participating in some of the great events going on now through Sunday.

Don't miss Singled Out! at The Saloon Wednesday night.  We're expecting a big crowd thanks to Pride Week and we've got some super hot bachelors up on the block.  Things kick off around 10:30pm, so come down, have a drink and participate in the fun.

The 2008 Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade is on Sunday, as always, and starts at 11:00am.  This parade is huge, with over 125,000 spectators coming to see it last year, so show up early to pick a good spot along the parade route.

Parade-goers from last year might remember that the vita.mn Alexis on the Sexes float was positioned directly in front of PFLAG, which meant that we were met with roaring applause from the crowd for the entire duration of the parade.  I'm crossing my fingers for another rockstar spot in the line-up this year.  One of the advertisers loaned us a boat, so watch for the really, really good-looking people dressed in nautical wear.  And we're going to try and ration the Smarties better this time, so we don't run out halfway through the parade again.

Highlight of the week: Sick of Sarah (an amazing 5-piece band) is going to be playing in the park on Saturday afternoon. If you haven't seen them, do so. The f'ing RAWK.

My entourage and I will be watching them, then heading to the outdoor BBQ at Pi to see Tina Shileske (remember Tina & the B-Sides? It's that Tina.) play in the early evening.

Good luck with your Singled Out thing. Maybe I'll run in to you on Saturday if not there.
