The band on my watch had broken, and I stopped by K-Mart today to get a new one. (I am exceedingly not fashion conscious – a plain $25 digital watch is just fine.) When I got there, the saleswoman was helping an elderly woman with a watch she had gotten previously that part of . . . → Read More: Rudeness and the watch I went to the Erie Pride March/Rally. There were about 125 people who marched. There were a couple of young guys walking on the sidewalk as we marched down who were holding hands. It was cute. We had the rain to deal with, but they did have a bigger turnout than last year. We had a very successful Pride Picnic. I still have to check the numbers, but I think we met or topped 300 attendees.

Deb had been over working on getting the photos from Sunday’s Stonewall: Cradle of Gay Activism ready for Flickr, and asked me to give her a ride, since she was going some place near the Zone. (We fold the newsletter at the Zone . . . → Read More: Folding and a forgotten PDA I walked into the Monday morning programmers’ meeting. Two of the guys were talking about hair cuts and one said that for a guy paying more than $15 was just crazy. They then talked a bit further and asked me for my opinion. I said that I thought straight men talking about hair styling . . . → Read More: A surprisingly gay chat at work What a booked day! 10:30 AM was the Stonewall: Cradle of Gay Activism service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Erie. It was nice. I took some photos, and I ended up sitting next to Jeremy, who is cooking for the Pride Picnic and who was one of the founder of Closet Culture, an . . . → Read More: Stonewall: Cradle of Gay Activism |
