I know many of you may just want to skip to the photos. The rest of you are welcome to peak at the many words under the cut.

Looks like you had fun! And sounds like it was quite an adventure.

I have Jes'ad on my G+... Was Luketh Dragon there as well?

Um, not that I noticed. But I don't really know Luketh all that well.

This was my first time attending the event at all. I watched from the (very crowded) sidewalk at Crown street. You must have been on the other side of the float as I didn't see you. I did see Oz and Mozee though.

I had avoided the parade (and all gay pride parades) in the past as I was worried it would just be an uncomfortable display of kink and fetish. That's what you normally see reported afterall. I was pleasantly surprised that it was more about support and awareness, at least the part that I saw. I left shortly after the furry float and armed services/fire brigades.

Yes, I was on the "wrong" side of the float. I could grouse about being pushed there, but life's too short. I do it for the crowds, not for the TV cameras, and I've gotten snippets of TV coverage at past marches.

You know I wouldn't be involved in anything tawdry! I'm such a sweet and innocent rat, butter wouldn't melt in my mouth!
