Happy Hot Pride Day(s)
12:15 PM
As you enjoy this weekend of double the parade/marches and double the festivals, be sure to check our comprehensive Pride guide, so you don't miss a thing -- or, at least, know what you're missing.
And while you're at the parades, pick up one of those sexy little fliers for Queen City Cruise: HomoAquatic at either of the marches or festivals (if we manage to get enough folks to pass them out, that is). It's a pity you probably won't be able to see the great HomoAquatic sea-horse costumes that Mark made for the events. But they ended up being just so elaborate that it was hard to find anyone to wear them. You're sure to see them later, however, at some bar events (where there's room) and at the Cruise itself on August 12.
Tickets to the Cruise are now on sale. Congrats to Donald and Wayne for getting theirs almost as soon as we had the button up on the page. We're delighted to see that six others quickly joined them. See you all on the Cruise!
It might have helped that they had signed up for our Cruise alerts email list. (Somebody actually asked about that in comments. We so wish there were more comments.) Get the Cruise scoop. Sign up for the list.
The Cuff [see map] has offered great insider advice on its own mailing list for its wildly popular street party: To avoid the often long entry line, you can drop by the gate near Pine as early as 11 am. Pay your 10 bucks, show your (required) ID, and get your hand stamped. Once you have that stamp, you can get back into the festivities through the (usually) shorter re-entry line. They take credit cards at the main gate and will even let you get some cash back.
They also offer advice that could serve you well almost anywhere you go on this hot weekend:
Oh, and a personal note from our WebWrangler: Curse Comcast! You managed to drop his connection for over8 10 hours at precisely the most inappropriate moment, just hours before we had intended to take the Cruise tickets page live. What good is a supposedly fast connection (which hasn't been all that fast for the last couple of weeks) when it's unreliable. Comcastic def: Whenever we get around to it, we'll fix it.

Eat! Sunblock! Fluids! Cruise! Make up cards with your phone/email. Take lots of fun pictures... Have fun!And share those fun pics with us and/or with them (cuffevents[at]aol.com), or with anyone you think might share them (umm... the appropriate ones, of course) even more widely.
