    I'm no good at judging the size of crowds Ted, but I'd say there's about seventeen million of them out there.

    In any case, theres nothing wrong with a little science. At least you found out what an ampere was ;).

    An excellent event. There should be one every week.

    Well the parade was fine. Then after that pretty much everything was awful. It's a long story.

    Well I didn't make it to Pride so you're not the only one left out of the "pride was fun fun fun" sentiments :)

    More often than not the scene is a horrible place, best thing to do is try not to take it too personally, take care of yourself first and the rest will follow :)

    /the latter half of my pride was terrible too, tried my best to remedy the situation, but alas i've failed, meh life goes on.

    I attended this year, for my first time, and wasn't bowled over. I didn't march per se for my own personal reasons: a mixture of laziness, apathy towards the parade concept, and so forth. Lots of noisy whistling - not my thing but for those who enjoyed it, good on them.

    The after show was a let down anyway. Far too much focus on drag acts, only a few of which merited any real applause. A couple of speeches rounded off by a well-intentioned, but somewhat directionless, speech by our former Mayor. *Shrug*

    I was going to attend the nighttime festivities but figured they'd be over subscribed and over-priced. I attended the Boards Beers instead. I'm still gay any of the other 364 days of the year - don't need this one to mark it in particular.

    Well you are gay for pay, no need for you to work on a Saturday.

    The after show is as good as you let it be. Last year i thought it was a crappy pathetic excuse for entertainment but this year i brought a few cans not expecting anything and had a laugh ^_^

    ...not as these people are getting paid to entertain us anyway its all about the pride :P
