We went to the North Side parade today, and it was great. I really like North Side because it is eclectic and different. Lot's of different types of people ... all doing different types of things.
For example, one float had a bunch of drag-queens holding and displaying a diversity of politically oriented signs.
I love that stuff, particularly when eccentricities are compounded.
In particular, I loved one fine individual dancing and jumping around a float platform named "Guerilla Queer Bar", ... belly shirt, red-white-blue boy-shorts, and hairy belly that appeared to be pierced. Just imagine that "We Are the Champions" was blaring as this "boy shorts" superhero is jumping around the stage with enough energy to strike a match in someone else's shirt-pocket.
She/He was holding a neon-green sign reading, ... "Socialism Works!"
"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." ~ Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)
