PrideFest Milwaukee Style!!!

PrideFest Milwaukee Style!!! Hello Lovers!!! Miss me???? Yeah, riiiiiight!!! This would be the one time I would allow you to lie to me! Hahahahaha!!! So Hello again, Lovers!!!!!! This may be a long one, so, better go get a drink!!! I had the pleasure, once again, to be a patron at our Pride Fest in Milwaukee, aka the city of FESTIVALS!!!! Well! To kick off the festival season in Milwaukee, we open it up with Pride Fest, the celebration to beat all celebrations! It's about people being who they really are and being able to celebrate it without persecution or ridicule of any sort. It's not about a nationality, or about music. It's about people being able to go out and spend time with OTHER people doing the same and it is an expression of love the likes of which I only experience when I am at Pride Fest. How wonderful!!! I was out Saturday night about midway in to the act right before 10,000 Maniacs. By the time I got settled in, (drink, a little food...) the act was over( I heard it was excellent) so I walked the festival grounds, looked at the different vendors, ran into some friends and did some people watching. Quite entertaining! Then the fireworks began! Over the lake front, the sky was aglow, and even a full moon came out, pun intended! 10,000 Maniacs started their set and while I wasn't as familiar with their music on the way in, I had to buy a CD on the way out! The woman singing had a beautiful voice but what really pulled me in was the electric violin, and then finding a woman at the helm! It was exciting and awesome on too many levels to describe here, but I can tell you it was seductively alluring and soothing. I thought I had reached Nirvana and I hadn't even done any illicit stimulants to that point!!!! It was pure heaven!!! Sunday I hooked up with my best gal-pal Tina, known to you tranny-daters as SubTina. We met up at Walkers Pint, our fave south-side source of libation and entertainment. That absolute doll, Betsy, had a shuttle bus going called "the Half Pint" that took us on the ten minute ride damn near up to the front door!!! I love you Betsy!!! Security at Pride Fest was awesome as usual, and after a quick purse check and wand, we were off again at the fest, this time during the afternoon! The weather was absolutely divine and we couldn't have asked for better. Ran into a ton of friends. So nice to see them somewhere other than the clubs! It's such a shame that people are so intolerant. The beauty of this fest really speaks volumes about the people involved. I've never felt more honored to be around people. It was so nice! Typically, you would hear me say something like "earth... what a shit hole" (that's from a movie I can't remember the name of, and I say it in jest 'cause it's funny) or "I love humanity... it's people I can't stand." It's nothing like that at Pride Fest, and how nice it would be if everyone was a little more tolerant! It's really refreshing!!! Sad that it was all over Sunday night for another year, but I can tell you that God willing, I will celebrate again next year and the whole year leading up to it and every year after! Come join me!!! We'll start and finish as we did this year with Betsy and the crew at Walkers Pint. Their drinks will have you giggling all night, and the Karaoke is really good! Girls have some talent over there!!! Lots of love to you all and thanks to everyone from Pride Fest organizers, vendors, musicians, security and all medical staff, to all of you who have been so kind to read all of this. Responses are always welcome! Happy Pride!!!  toodles, indie, XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXxoxoxoxoxoxoxox...   indie |
