Mr. Wiseman left this morning after a well received, three day Vancouver visit. It was a whirlwind his time spent with us. But hey, there were three workshops, a social, a play party and of course, planning some of his down time so we could spend time together catching up as we're old friends.
The party last evening went fantastically, and I am so glad that everything went off with out any glitches so to speak.
Today for us, is all about readying for tomorrows Pride Parade. There is still plenty left to do, even though yesterday I picked up the order of screen printed t shirts, and 16, 000 hand outs. The vehicle and its decorating still needs to take place, and that my friends, is the last of items to tend to, pre parade.
If you'd like to buy a Libido Events tank top or muscle shirt for $25 to help us offset our Pride costs, then send me an email and we'll arrange to swap payment for your new shirt. Thanks.
