Pride

Aug 22, 2010 11:40

Okay, previous emo post aside, life is not all bad. It's been a good weekend so far.

Andrew and I got a lot done in the garden yesterday, and managed to share vegetables with many of the neighbors. I always love that. The downside is that I spent over an hour cleaning the bathrooms for a concert that turned out to be canceled, but that's okay in it ( Read more... )

At least the bathrooms are clean in case there's another upcoming event! I'll bet your vegetables are delicious.

Wasn't there already a Pride event in your area? Isn't there where you met that one drag queen? That's very sad about the organizer's passing. I'm sure the Pride event will do something special in his honor.

Good memory! Actually, it was a fundraiser that you remembered. Since it was the first year, they were really short on seed money and did a bunch of fundraisers.

Every time you write something about Taos, I think it's even cooler. Yay for the Pride event!
That's so sad about that poor guy who died. I hate it when young people die for no apparent reason, it's just so unfair. xxx

It IS a cool place - though a bit overwhelming sometimes.

And, yes, it does seem really unfair.

So sad about the very young Pride organizer who died. I'm sure the event will be a wonderful legacy.

I love that kids are included in everything at Taos. My favorite storyteller, whom I met at my last job, includes everyone in her storytelling regardless of the "posted ages" for the event, making it fun for toddlers through grandparents. I was just as entertained as the preschoolers and the dad she drew in as a character in the story.

Storytelling is a really amazing art, if you ask me! And that's a cool way to include everyone.

Apropos of fun, have you seen my balloon-animals post yet?
