Portland Pride 2018

Fay and I *intended* to get there before Pride opened at noon. Best laid plans and all that, I overslept and was awakened by Fay texting (for the third time)me sometime after noon.

Since we were running late I decided not top go with the outfit I'd picked that night before (a purple satin blouse and a satin skirt in shades of orange and brown). At least in part because there wasn't time to shave and I didn't really want to do genderfuck.

Probably just as well, I sweated buckets in the slacks and t-shirt I went with instead. I might have ruined the other outfit.

We spent something like 5 hours going thru the booths. I think this is the first time I didn't run into anybody I knew there.

We did take a couple of breaks to sit down, but all that walking got to me. We did pick up some nice swag, including some tote bags and a pouch with a net lanyard that fits my cell phone.

Also got some cards for places we couldn't afford to buy stuff from.

And I saw fay drooling over this book on smutty sign language at one booth and bought it for her as an early birthday present (her birthday is in a couple of weeks). I also got myself a dirty coloring book. :-)

Glad I went, but really sore in lots of places from all that time on my feet.
