Castro Valley Pride 2024
My daughter’s high school (she graduated years ago) hosts an annual Castro Valley Pride yearly. This year did not disappoint with great drag shows, part of the original AIDS quilt, and many vendors. We tried out this dog cart for the first time. At this event years ago, I first saw a dog cart of this nature, which inspired my purchase of the first one.
July 2024 Vallejo Gay Network Potluck
Another amazing party hosted by Manny and Wendell on Mare Island! So many cool people not pictured here, but it was a wonderful crowd.
San Francisco Pride 2024
Pride Day in San Francisco was a LOT of walking and fun. We ran into tons of folks we knew on the ferry ride back to Vallejo, but we were so tired and barely got on the boat ourselves that we didn’t take pictures with any of them. At least we got a shot of Sanjay and Neeraj when we stopped by Sundance and joined in for a couple of line-dancing songs. I also got to stop by the booth for LGBTQ Minus Tobacco for the first time at SF Pride, which was great, but I neglected to take a photo with them too, damn it.
Happy 44th Shea
Shea made wonderful omelets to start the day. We ended up having Thai food for dinner in downtown Vallejo, and then made our way to San Francisco. We stopped by Greg and Steve’s pied-à-terre in the Castro, then walked over to the Pilsner for a drink, where we met a guy who was also celebrating his birthday. He even bought us a round and had some cake to share with us! Afterward, Shea and I went to Bearracuda, which I had not been to in many years. This is in addition to my other posting here where Greg, Steve, Shea, and I took pictures under the rainbow laser lights.

Vallejo Pride Proclamation 2024
This evening I made it back from Sacramento in time to participate once again in the Pride Proclamation at Vallejo City Council Meeting. It was a nice crowd and I was very pleased to be among the wonderful community that awaited me when I moved here almost four years ago.
Cinco de Mayo and May the Fourth Be With You Parties
Went to two Cinco de Mayo parties yesterday only a few blocks from each other. Here are some pictures from one of them. I was too much of a chatty Cathy to take them at one party.
