Just heard work is going to have a van/float in the parade. I'm angling for that Saturday off. I'll be on the van or working the booth if I do get the time.

If you haven't left yet, my gorgeous, darling stepson will be out. His name is KC and he's got reddish blond hair that spikes up and is about 6'3" and really thin.

Go say hi to all the cute young boys until you meet him.

Diva · 05-30-2010, 09:21 PM

I love it that my daughter has a gay bf......every girl needs one! They are so cute! Made me smile a bunch! (Sidebar: she has succumbed to the heinous fuckery that is Texas Allergy Hell!!!! Hello, Zyrtec!)

I just got this in my email:

"QueerBomb is a flash Force assembly of LGBTQIA individuals within the community who have found the current strategy and structure of Austin Pride to be non-inclusive, capitalist, heteronormative, safe and unchallenging.

QueerBomb has been assembled with boisterous urgency in organizing a counter 'Pride' procession that carries a strong Queer message to the streets of Downtown Austin reclaiming the radical, carnal and transgressive lineage of our ever changing community, while celebrating every facet and form of our people as a unique and vibrant whole."

Puplove · 06-04-2010, 02:25 PM

I want to see you go all Matt Dillon

The Oiley Beauhunk and I are planning to be there. But if not showing up means you will bust out Matt Dillon, we'd opt for that.
