I'm definitely going. I had a great time last year. :) I understand the heat and humidity. They sent a poll around asking if maybe the parade should be moved to a better time of year (I know that June is Pride Month but how about 1st Saturday in June, yanno?). Hopefully future parades will be earlier.

I have not forgotten our planned get together on 21 July. Since you won't be at the parade, I'll have to meet you for dinner. This weekend is bad for us, anyway and next weekend is also full (Pride) but after that things settle down a little. Joe and I are supposed to be coordinating our calendars to take some time off but we haven't.

Joe's car show went very well. He's exhausted but he has another show this Saturday and then the city's big July 4 bash. I suspect we'll be taking time off round about that party of yours. I can hardly wait!
