Normally I am not a fan of Zoos, regardless of the city or attraction. It has to do with seeing animals in captivity which makes me uneasy. However on Thursday July 1, 2009 I will attend my first concert in the park at the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo. I will not be doing any tours of the Zoo, that where I draw the line.

July 1 & 2 – Three Girls and their Buddy featuring Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin & Buddy Miller
I will blog more after the event to update you on my experience.

Seattle Gay Pride Celebration 2009 is without doubt the best ever. After many years of wrangling about bringing the parade downtown from its historic Gay Neighborhood home on Seattle's Capitol Hill, it's fair to say that the matter is now settled. Who would ever want to return to the Parade's cramped route on Broadway and the much smaller Volunteer Park venue? At it's new home at the Seattle Center's massive grounds nestled under the Space Needle it just feels right.

I am looking forward to Gay Pride this weekend, Sunday 28th. Here are my celebration plans for the Pride Weekend in Seattle. Get the details at www.seattlepride.org
Parade starting at 11:00 am from the corner of Union St. and 4th Ave.

* Friday Night, after work drinks with friends
* Saturday Evening, Movies in the Evening followed by bar hopping with friends.
* Sunday Morning, Breakfast and coffee, on the Parade Route down 4th Ave in downtown Seattle. Following the crowd after the parade wrap-up to the the Seattle Center.
Leave Seattle Center to join the crowd at the Cuff...LOL.

If your city does not celebrate Gay pride on June, 28th or ever, please join us here in Seattle.
