One paradelette down, one to go
9:18 PM
So what did you think of the march and paradelette on Broadway this evening. [This is us begging for at least one comment.]
We thought it was cute and energetic, if a bit short (not that there's anything wrong with short, especially when it's also energetic). The crowds were far thinner, but still respectable in the stretch from Seattle Central to Mercer. For the parade's size, it sported a good mix of entries including music, skin, drag queens, skin, protesters, and even a few (thankfully few) politicians -- most of them from the 43rd District (including -- by our misleading count since we were watching for other things before the lens of our camera -- Murray, Pedersen, and Street).
(And yes, we fully expect Savage to find something weasley because some of the men supporting one of those candidates were wearing kilts.)
So it was a good start and certainly shows there's still a demand for having this kind of thing on the Hill.
And, oh yeah, if you were there you might have even caught a glimpse of one of the HomoAquatic sea-horses. We admire the woman who rode that amazing creation along the entire parade route. But even if you saw it, there'd be no way for you to know that it was a HomoAquatic seahorse since there were no signs for the Queen City Cruise, and (ahem...) absolutely no sign of those sexy HomoAquatic fliers.
The seahorse and the boys with sailer hats were behind the banner for Action Northwest, one of the beneficiaries of the Cruise. But, oh, how we wish there had been some sign of what all that was meant to signify.
Fortunately, though, "There's always next time" might mean as early as Sunday at noon.
