I Guess This Was Pride Weekend, Eh?

lydamorehouseOn Facebook there are hundreds of pictures of all my friends out at Pride Festival this weekend. I kind of forgot about it, and kind of actively avoided it. Shawn hates crowds. And, while I'm sure Mason and I would have had fun wandering around, it's kind of sad to be a Pride without your partner. Plus, I've talked about this before, but I have a weird sort of nostalgia for the smaller Pride--the one without Target sponsorship and all the corporations and all the...well, mainstreaming. It doesn't feel quite as NECESSARY that I show up and be counted, like it did in the days when we operated more in the shadows.
I don't want those days back, but it was a different feeling knowing that going to Pride meant choosing to be seen, because there were very, very few allies that showed up. If you went, you were Queer (with a captial Q), and suddenly everybody knew it.
Shawn didn't used to go back then either, but that was because she was closeted and, in those days, you had to respect that choice because people lost jobs and friends and family when they came out.
Instead, we stayed close to the homefront and were proud of Shawn's ethinic heritage: Germans from Russia. We made two batches (about 100) fleischkuekle.
As you can see, we decided to do the deep fat frying outside, which was an EXCELLENT choice. Having stood to roll out dough for two hours, it was nice to be hanging out in backyard with the picture perfect weather we had last night. Our neighbor across the alley, Tom, was practicing his guitar with his church band and so we were also serenaded. They mostly played alt rock, so it was a lot of stuff I knew and liked. And, honestly, they were pretty good. Tom is a good guy. He helped me move the brush pile that sat in the back of our shade garden for three years awaiting a "truck." He offered his. So, that gives him several free passes to sing whatever he likes at high volume, IMHO. (And, like I said, it wasn't half-bad, anyway.)
In other news, by chance (and a trip to Midway Books) I happen to be able to offer another complete set of my AngeLINK books in support of the fundraising efforts of Dybukk Press. They're trying to recoop production costs for their latest anthology KING DAVID & THE SPIDERS OF MARS in which my short story "God Box" is scheduled to appear. If you have interest, feel free to contribute: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/king-david-the-spiders-from-mars-tales-of-biblical-terror-bible-fiction. Last time my donation went within an hour, but for whatever reason this time no one has snatched it up. So, this may be your big chance! A lot of these books are rare and hard to find in print!
Finally, today is the day that Shawn and I are going to fill out our application for a marriage license. Mason is off school, so I'm going to get my haircut in about a half hour, pick up Shawn, and then we're going to go down to the license bureau and fill out the forms! One step closer to being legal!
And since I'm sure some people are wondering, we're seriously leaning towards an elopement, with a big wedding to follow later when we've had a decent amount of time to plan.
