I just got back from Denver's Pridest celebration
I have been going off and on for twenty years. Every year it just gets bigger and bigger. I am not good at estimating crowd size so I am not going to venture a guess.Just that it was HUGE!!! I took Jason who has never been before and he had such a blast that I left him there while I came home.I met up with my ex foster daughter and we just had a blast smoking weed,drinking beer, and listening to the music,and of course, people watching. Beautiful people. For the first time in a long time I felt very good about being who I am, and I am 41-years-old.

I did run into a buddy that I used to volunteer at the foodbank with at colorado aids project. It's very obvious that he is in end stages but he surprised me by saying he has been going to the gym and putting on muscle and he looke great with his new set of teeth!!

A very nice day. I am glad I got up at 7AM to get ready to go.

1. According to 9news.com, they're estimating that about 100,000 people showed up.

A friend of mine from high school has been going down to Denver this weekend and he's been putting up some pictures bit by bit. It's really great that it's such a big event here.

Ah, that sounds wonderful!

A great day for you, and your whole community!

And you should feel good about who you are...you are being true to yourself. And how important is that.
