    Oh, in my scene days they tended to have the parade in July (wanting to not clash with the parade in near-by European cities).

    I'll drag my fabulous self along, but I don't really know anyone except azezil* who is going. If anyone else is thinking about heading along feel free to send me a PM. I know this is pretty late notice but if there is enough interest we could get a mini boards group going.

    Glad everyone had a good time. By taxi hunt from the Boards Beers took me through Georges St (and quite a bit beyond, Pride and a U2 concert at the same time means no feckin' taxis) and there seemed to be a very good buzz.

    My first one, and certainly not my last. Very enjoyable. Despite being on my feet from 1PM to 3AM

    watched the gay pride march in new york yesterday..it was very nice.

    one section of it really made me feel warm.

    It was the Presbyterian christian homosexual chapter.

    I just really enjoyed that because a group of people looked confused beside me and one commented "Ar'nt homosexuals against christianity" It just looked great that these people could express that they had both faith and happiness despite what offical religous authorities say.

    of course it was also funny with the "Dykes for christ" slogans...

    Ah, the usual mad fundamentalist was at the Dublin one. You'd think he'd be bored of it by now.

    Heh. I got drawn into debate with a middle-aged lady about "why are you all doing that" while we were stopped on O'Connell street.

    Don't worry, we're far from being post count whores here. Just remember it's the quality of your posts that count and not the quantity ;)

    You're telling me. I don't do a single science subject - I was so out of my depth :-\.
