Whines and I worked Pridefest from about 11:00-2:00, him vigilantly watching the children's corner, myself herding people to the ticket sales (no sign saying "Tickets Here!", so it had to be done.

Low-key event, really, fairly calm and quiet. The music was a lot more background than I remember, but then, I was on the opposite side of the park from it. It was only 95 degrees this year, too (high humidity made that kind of challenging, but better that than last year's heat lamp from on high).

I was a little disappointed in the relative lack of vendors this year. Nobody had anything I had to take home with me!

While I was ushering people into the park, a handsome fellow came in, a lightly muscled but slender gym-bunny, wearing nothin' but a fringed breechclout, an all-over tan, and his cat. I briefly lost control of English. After about three hours of hot sun and dogs scaring his cat, he was bitchy and bleeding, but it was a great entrance :)
