Aww, thanks.

It's officially here - Pride Week in St. John's.
This morning is the rainbow flag raising at the Confederation Building. Not sure when the one at City Hall is.
I haven't decided yet which events I'm going to, except - of course - Pride Bonfire on Tuesday, Frisk Fetish Night on Saturday, the Parade and Pride at the Lake on Sunday.
But there's so much going on this year. I want to check out the ArtPride show at Eastern Edge Gallery.
And MUN provides one of the entire world's most respected Folklore degrees, so it's no surprise they're doing an Oral History project. That'd be great to attend, especially if the older folks go.
Quote:
Folklorist Daze Jefferies and Courtland Dearing (iBBA) invite you to take part in a morning of inter-generational queer and trans storytelling. We ask that you join us in establishing an informal exchange of narratives between queer and trans elders and youth in The Landing (University Centre, Room 3018) on Thursday, July 17, 2014 from 10 AM to 12 PM. Tell us about what it was like growing up, your first love, hardships you've had to endure, a struggle you're dealing with right now, your first experience with Pride, etc. These narratives will be recorded digitally and deposited in Memorial University of Newfoundland's Folklore and Language Archive for further academic research. If it be your will that your story is not to be made public, that's completely fine: you will receive a recording and it will not go to MUNFLA.

AND...
I just posted the other day that Brianna Gosse finally got a record deal and has her debut album (launched this past weekend). She's going to be one of the performers at Pride on the Lake. So excited!
Whiskey Fire and DJ Worker will be there too.
And YUK YUK's is having a Pride comedy night that should be good. Gaahhh, not enough time.
