not so much of a 'lets make big plans' a s heads up. Brighton Pride, this Saturday. March, then Prseton Park. Be there, or be, like, totally a square.

Anyone from here going? I'll be in the marhc/probably at the desk with under the Brightonbothways banner so come say hello

Ooooh! I'd love to go! I had so much fun at Brighton Pride a few years back! But I'll be on a boat with work colleagues...

Why do the London Beer Festival, Brighton Pride and my office summer boat party all have to be on the same day???

heh.

that's fine, dear. If cherry/plums slash floats yr boat, who can blame you?

No, no, no problem with that link. I'm... flattered.

Though it was a different year I went to Brighton Pride, I'm afraid.

If it's cool and balmy, it's a very nice little saunter, and I will attend, wearing something stupid. If it's as hot as this last weekend, I will be lying in a cold bath instead, but sending mental support.

Keep an eye out for the Brighton & Hove mobile library van who usually turn up stocked with queer lit treats - I'm always pleased about that.

really? that's v.cool.

(Cherry, I don't think Deva was, er, focussed on the where/when... but that's rather a blast from the past, innit? )

so what's the route of the parade? missus says it's along western road but i thought it went seafront/steine/preston park and can't see how w-road would fit that too too well.
would like to go and look and cheer and get a bit of fresh air before retreating to weekend indolence.

and what time is a good time to be there and check the pinkness?

Wow I would love to come out, or Come Out even. If I can get my flu out of the way. Grrr.

'uncle', yr missus know nothing, noooothing(but she does a hottt haircut!). From the pride site:

The parade starts at 11am on Saturday August 7th and traditionally has left Madeira Drive for a straight route along the Steine, along the London Road to Preston Park.

This year it will leave Madeira Drive and head along the seafront to West Street, go up West Street to the Clock Tower and turn right into North Street and down past what was Hanningtons to the Steine. At the Steine it will turn left and resume on the old route to Preston Park along the London Road.

I'm really feeling the urge to go. I love Pride Parades! I just found out today that my party boat docks in Greenwich at 1pm. Maybe I'll hop a train to Waterloo and off to Brighton Pride at that time? Je ne sais pas.

Stay tuned. Though Deva I doubt it will be as exciting as that slash fic..

I've never seen that Slash thread. before. Good Lord, it's the greatest thread in the history of Creation....

.. the stories with Flyboy, I could hear his voice...

Cherry: if you do fancy it, just give me a ring when you get to brighton/the park.

oooh, all excited now. and really must get off the net and get on with sewing...

(that Flyboy slash is great, innit? almost too realistic)

Boy oh boy (and they were such lovely boyz!), they know how to party in Brighton. I'm sure the skies are always cloudless and the sun blazing down there too.

The certified bisexuals are like sirens too, beguiling the unwary with the promise of fence-sitting fun.

Cherielabombe

12:21 / 08.08.04

Didn't make, it sadly, got drunk on a boat instead, which was fun but not AS much fun!

Yes that flyboy slash is stellar, isn't it?

Oh... my... God... That was a stellar experience. And hello to Quantum and Gambit who I mentioned to as well.

That was pretty much my first Pride. Yep.

Fucking GREAT.

Am just in from various 'byebye' Pride events.... amazing weekend....

humph. and i missed both Brighton Pride and Leeds Unity Day to see friends in Manchester, so while you were dancing by the seaside I was wandering up and down Canal Street getting the evil eye from vile, vile boys who disapproved of our clothing and thought we had no right to be there. Shame on them. It is only sensible to wear a wide-brimmed hat in the sun.

That was the best.
I'm still feeling proud.
