The day after Brighton

[london1967]

A good night's sleep (9 hours for me, 11 for Adrian!) did wonders and we were in top form again this morning.

Well... almost as our backs are still marked!

I guess that as time progressed, our patience grew thinner and thinner!

I'm sorry to hear that so much of the crowd wasn't polite, or even marginally civil.

Pride parades/festivals in the States - my experience, anyway - have become these interesting mash-ups of friendly straight folks (with and w/o kids in tow), gay/lesbian couples (same), and sober-and-not contingents of the Old Guard and the New. But the completely wasted, disheveled cohort of any of them is much smaller than it used to be.

Well it was really the drunken/high youth mainly.

Part of what you say about the pride festivals in the US applies to the one in Brighton as well: it was quite mixed and lots of people were there to party/get pissed (in the British sense! LOL!)

How could you destroy those fantastic costumes?!

It was the second outing for them. But Adrian saved the lovely cake fabric and the wigs.

I'm certain that both of you can design costumes appropriate to riding crops.... Hooligans beware!

Knowing me, if I whipped somebody I would feel guilty afterwards... but for a brief moment it would feel really good!
