29










GT12 attended our 29th Gay Pride Parade yesterday. Looking at the twitter, we can see that our feverish sending of twitpics seems to have been for naught so we'll post them now.


Nothing much to say. It was Chicago so every politician and every merchant/bank/utility company/ in the tri-state area had a float in the parade. Yes, that means even Roland Burris was there. (a past-parade where I first saw a southside state senator with a seemingly Black-Nationalist name... and you know who we're talking about). Rahm was always there in the past.

The day was notable for the first face to face meeting of GT12 and Unwired. At our advanced age we are not so sure of the etiquette at at such a meet-up but we think that old fashioned gentlemanly bearing carried us through.

The parade kicked off with a Delegation from a neighborhood Middle school.
