Events Events!!

Last week, wednesday brought Bi Pride at BeBar, & it was pretty kickin'! ^_^ I met a bunch of really nice people, discovered a swank new place in DC to hang out (they have drag queens & stuff every now and then! :D), I talked to a few really cool girls, and was befriended by a sweet gay chap who seemed to be helping to run the event, & who works on the Pride Committee. He's also part of the DC Radical Faeries, n' tried to recruit me for the Committee. ^_^ (As I'm just getting started in the community though, I told him I was flattered- & I was- but that I'd kind of like to take it slow at first. :)) It was a great time, I got bought a drink, plus I met a cool girl who's a longtime bellydancer, & who frequents Midnight & various other bellydancing events I've been going to lately. :D:D *glee*

The Pride Parade ROCKED, (it was my first), an' I got Mardi Gra beads, saw a few really schpeef floats, and had an absolute blast. Mirage897 met me there, and we had a great time at the parade. It was also great to catch up w/him at a local coffee bar afterwards- as it's been FOREVER since we've gotten to hang out. It was a pleasure all around, n' hopefully soon I'll be able to share the few cool pics I got of the parade with y'all- rainy drizzle and all. ^_^ (The floats not only had some seriously bumpin' music, but a few of 'em also had a gaggle of REALLY yummy folks atop them, to boot! There were some great get-ups, and I even saw faeries there! :D:D)

Now, on to THIS COMING WEEKEND! :D:D
If you’re all not doing anything else this weekend, I happen to have a craft show coming up on the 21st- from 9am – 3pm. It’s called Art in the Park, and it’s a big ol’ outdoor space with artists & crafters of all kinds showing n’ selling their work.   If you guys can stop by, I’d love ta see ya. If not, that’s okay too- I know it’s short notice. But I’ll have my own booth, and (FINALLY) some more professional display stuffs, so I’d love to see summa mah peeps out there. ^_-

It’s supposed to be a family-friendly event, so rest easy there, too. :D 

The event info is thus:
Brenman Park Drive 9AM - 3PM,
In Cameron Station, across from Brenman Park,
Alexandria, VA 22304

If you need an exact address to map directions from, you can use:
Cameron Perks Coffeehouse
4911 Brenman Park Dr,
Alexandria, VA 22304-7746

Fortunately it should be much cooler than it was the weekend before last (you know, the one that was over 100º BOTH days, :P), but according to the weather zombies there might also be a bit of a shower in the afternoon, so bring your brellies if you’re inclined. ^_^

If you’re worried about weather, here’s a link to weather.com with their 10-day forecast for the local zipcode: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/22304?from=36hr_fcst10DayLink_undeclared 
And perchance I’ll see ya there! 

If not, mehopes you have a loverly weekend!
(And that I'll be posting Monday about the TONS of $$ I made on Sat.! ;D;D:D:D )

Thanks and Love,
