Another year, another Pride. It was a quieter one this year...a combination of a slow start to summer, the SARS scare and 'been there done that'. Mind you, that doesn't mean we didn't do anything. Rather, we simply 'paced' ourselves better this year!
First stop... Friday night and Adrian's birthday celebration...
 |
 |
| Curly, Larry and Moe all decked out in their party finery. | The birthday boy blowing... out his candles... |
And now... let Pride Day begin...
 |
Our friend Mike kicks off the day with a Pre-Parade Brunch...
|
|
|
| Mike and Mark... | Mark and Mike... |
 |
|
Piņa Coladas good to the very last drop... |
And then, The Parade. The weather kept threatening to turn ugly but, as is the tradition, the Parade made it through without a drop of rain!
|

 |
|
The 'Locker Room' fantasy?? |
|
 |
|
| Look, dancing boys... how unusual for a Pride parade... | |
After the parade... The Street Cruise!
 |
 |
| Eduardo and Luis make pretty for the lens... | Tony and Mike checking out the street for some 'action' |
And then, during the huge street dance....the skies open and the rain comes down. Lasting just long enough to cool the crowd down and wash away the sweat, the sun then, magically, reappears...
 |
With the Parade now just a memory, we retire to our place for quiet martinis and nibblies...
|
|
|
|
Drinks on the couch... our energy levels don't permit anything more... |
Ryan makes it to Toronto all the way from Pittsburgh... much to Eddie's obvious delight |
 |
And so, to conclude the weekend, we do our annual pilgrimage to the Victory Party. We got lots of rest the night before as we decided we are going to close this place and join the 'Bitter Enders Club'...

Mark, Mike and the party... |
Look into the camera, boyz... now you can NEVER be Prime Minister |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Dino says "Smile, everyone!" Mike obliges. |
Messy, Messy, Messy and the other brother, Messy... all in a row |
 |
|
Thank gawd, over for another year... time to go home and get some sleep... |
