RAIN ON OUR PARADE — The best way to watch a rained out NYC Pride Parade is from the shelter of a friend’s doorman building. Especially when said building faces Christopher Street. And when said host pours you glass after glass of Veuve Clicquot mimosas until you finish off half a case. And that’s precisely when said guests are invited to dip their fingers in rainbow layered jello shots. You heard me right. Jello shots that double as rainbows. Happy Pride!

    LOL. So much can’t be caught on camera. Like the strutting down 9th Ave.

    What would you estimate as the belly half-life of those wily-&-masterfully-prismatic confections? my boss is asking for a fresh explanation for my unrelenting enthusiasm…
    for that matter, so are my friends: “So, which one is Asa? The bearded fellow with the dark hair?” heehee.
    ALSO, my toes have upped office m&m vending sales by 200%. so there’s that. thanks, PRIDE.

    I was totally surprised that you guys were marching in the rain – if it’s not cold, it would be cool though. :) Everybody got wet – we never had a wet pride parade in SF.

    I’m glad we could change the close-up of your ‘bad skin’ to my public affection for corn dogs. I walked down a street fair on 6th ave on Sat. and couldn’t look the corn dog vendors in the eye….I did take in a very entertaining mop demonstration though.
