Pride in the Streets!

Pridefest took over the streets of Pittsburgh once again yesterday as thousands of people celebrated gay pride. These celebrations almost remind me of Nelson Ledges where nothing is out of the question and anything goes! There is so much energy at these parades and I wish every parade was like that. I don't think I have to say much else...the photos speak for themselves :)

Happy pride!

Nelson Ledges never disappoints...

So this past weekend was possibly my last trip to my version of Heaven...Nelson Ledges Quarry Park. This festival was dedicated to the Trippin' Billies and Badfish, two pretty awesome bands. Of course, there is more than just music to witness at the quarry. Unusual sites are never so unusual here and nothing is out of the question. For instance, as a friend and I rested on the beach, a man walked over to us looking confused and asked, "Uh, have you seen a tall guy wearing a Cookie Monster costume?" Hmmm...no, I don't believe I have. However, we did see a Fred Flintstone, so this inquiry did not seem so strange.

Tie-dye and hula hoops were everywhere to be found and it seemed as if body paint has become an acceptable form of clothing...I am all about this. Disco Pizza made its way into my stomach and I savored every last bite as I sat on the beach taking in some sites. We even made some friends who, let's just say were having a good time, and it just so happens they will be attending All Good. So it seems we will be in good company!

Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure. Peace and love my fellow hippies.
