Columbus puts on a hell of a Pride celebration. I had a blast at the parade (actually, my first...) and the festival afterwards, but was pretty much exhausted after being in the hot sun all afternoon. Above 90 degrees and humid makes a very sweaty
cincycub.
I won't go into a name-drop-fest, but I ran into so many people... and only missed on a few that I had expected to see.
I think next year I would definitely get a room for Saturday night so I would be able to shower, take a disco nap, and then head out to party for the night. As it was, I really needed to get home.
And, you know, seeing the parade today was really the first time I got it. The whole Pride thing. It's wonderful to see the diversity of our community, and to be light-hearted enough to joke about it.
I didn't take the greatest photos in the world, but there are some fun ones.
Here's the album if you're interested.
