Pride Parade

Today I signed a lease on a place in Logan Circle near 12th & M St NW. Fit almost all my parameters: one bedroom, English basement, gas appliances, close in, relatively inexpensive. It's great.

This evening, I did my first Obama event. I walked with a group of about 60 supporters in the Capital Pride parade. The support from the crowd was impressive: all along the way, people were clapping and cheering, yelling our chants, asking for posters, all kinds of support. It was really touching and exhilarating at the same time. What's more impressive is that it really started raining around the middle of the route, but people stayed and cheered. It was really fun.

After the parade, a group of us met at a restaurant / bar and hung out for a while. Good group of people, really dedicated. Interesting mix: all kinds of genders and races and ages. I stayed a while and then walked back to where I left my bicycle. Right then, V called. We ended up talking a while...
