Marching on - NYC Gay Pride 2010

Such a great day. I marched with the Gay Community Center this year. A very large and fun group of people and families. We pushed off of 40th Street onto 5th Avenue around noon and finished the whole route thru Midtown, the village and onto Christopher St. by 2. The Centers School bus had speakers blasting dance music out the back door the whole route and kept the marchers and the cheering crowds up and dancing.

Later in the afternoon I walked up to the Pridefest street fair on Hudson. There was food, a variety of booths including 3D Porn, Zipcar, Undergear, G-vacations, local organizations and entertainment. The line to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream stand went for days. From past experience, I've learned to restrain from gathering up all of the free giveaways. I did get a Pride handkerchief from Macy's.

As the sun was getting low in the sky, I made my way up to 28th street to the Eagle for a burger and a pint on the rooftop. Perfect sunset and ending to a very long day.
