On the Friday before the pride parade, the festival in West Hollywood was free to the public. I went down with a couple of friends, though late, we still got to spend some of time there, and still had a bit of fun. really enjoyed that weekend.
Well, I didn’t get much here, I covered some stuff outside the convention center. One run by EA where I played Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2. I couldn’t take photos or video of the game play because they asked for no one to do so, being it’s in the pre-alpha. Long time since I really played a first person shooter, but I did fine. Doritos also had something going on with some old school style arcade, with some games seemingly doritos themed. I got tired pretty quick and went home. Didn’t help that I had a mostly disastrous day, mostly while on my way over.
Well, what a wonderful and fabulous day that was. I was in the parade once agin with PFLAG and had an extra treat while on the route. Belinda Carlisle walked with our group. Of course all kinds of insanity that can only be seen in photos and difficult for me to explain. Though it was pointed out to me more police was around, some people thought it might of been because of what happened in Orlando, while it might of alts been what almost happened that morning. But even if I knew about the guy arrested that morning before I left, I would of still gone. I will not let any fear get to me to do something I enjoy and to see people happy, and enjoying their lives.
It was pretty much a one day con, but was still fun. Getting to Long Beach was kind of annoying. While on my way down from the blue line there was some kind of...
Don’t worry, LA Cosplay Con photos will be online. I just got home from LA Pride and it was excellent as always. But it’s unfortunate of the news of what happened in Orlando that I learned about this morning, and what almost happened in West Hollywood while I was there. I know, there is a big problem, and it’s people that act out from an irrational hatred based on a fear that shouldn’t exist and makes no sense.
Anyways, To at least help brighten things up, here is a Blue and Gold I saw while on my way to Long Beach for the convention.
I almost didn’t go, mainly for timing reason, but I found some and headed to The Dragonfly once again to party with the local gay nerds. As always they put on a nice show....
So I didn’t know about this coming up till earlier this week. A friend told me about it and I figured why not, it should be fun. I would say it’s more, and less...
This got tried to fly out it’s nest at my place, and I just saved form a cat. It very much did recover and the entire time just looked at me as if it was mad the entire time. It should be completely flying soon enough anyways.
I found myself with time to join in another game, did crappy, but did what I could as someone that does’t really play golf anyways. In fact the course wasn’t being that kind to most of us that day. Even Mayor Goldie was wasn’t feeling it, but as always he makes it fun for the rest of us. As the game was coming to an end it got pretty exciting. I’ll post a video up when online, which I did record some of. Or at least, I hope they add the parts I recorded in the finished cut. I also convinced a couple of other people there feeling a bit scared to play. Ended up doing pretty good.
