The Lead-Up

Summer is here and in full swing in the Pacific Northwest. This is not something one can tell by simply looking out the window on most PacNW days - for example today I can see some blue on the horizon and a nice big blog just a little ways from my office but the gray in the cloud directly over us makes me doubt I'll stay dry all day.

That being said, summer is Pride season and event season in general. The number of invitations for events has increased recently and I hate having to decline an event because they all sound so amazing and fun! On the other hand, we've got so many cool things to do but still have managed to find time for ourselves which has been utterly lovely.

We took last week off - our one week of break during Pride season - and had nice quiet date nights at home and hanging out with friends who we haven't seen as much as we'd like due to all the travel and events. This week we're ramping back up to hit the next few events on the calendar.

Big events of note : 7/8 is Bellingham, WA Pride and we will be driving up either early on the 8th or the evening of the 7th and stay overnight but we haven't confirmed that just yet.
7/14 is Tacoma's Pride and I'm hoping we'll get to go down and see my Leather Family, maybe even stay with them for the 13th and visit and have all sorts of fun before going out to the parade on Sunday. As usual, I've not confirmed a single thing.

And then the big finale for July is the 21st in Boise for the Imperial Court's coronation event. We are very excited to get out to that.

For now, here's a couple of pretty pictures from the Seattle Pride!
