A very good Pride

I got to site about 3 PM, only to find out the festival started at 1. I paid my booth fee, set up my table and went to being a pushy huckster.

About 4:10, I went to watch the parade. Color-guard, 100' flag, then PFLAG. Mudd--wearing his "Straight but not Narrow" shirt carried one end of the banner. The three kiddos rode on the float in their "I [rainbow heart] my family" t-shirts and mardigras beads and blew bubbles.

Bun, rainbow stripes on her face and a MAGY t, marched with Memphis Area Gay youth. She was very striking in khaki shorts and hiking boots and lotsa long blonde hair.

I passed out 50 matchbooks, and piles of the newsletter. I am OUT. There are more shipping for Hypericon. I also sold compendiums of out-of-print stories. My $50 Pride booth ended up costing me $15 after sales. Not too bad at all.

I talked to a lot of lovely people. I smiled a lot. I enjoyed a pleasant breeze, and some great GLBT music. It was a good day.

Oooh. "I rainbow heart family" sounds good. I want to make matching t-shirts for the padawan and me to wear next week to Pridefest, and I've been trying to think of slogans.

Though I've been sorely tempted to make shirts reading "single, unwed mother" and "crack baby."
