Austin’s Pride Parade is this Saturday. Our Pride events were moved to September a couple of years ago, so the UT students will be in town, and also it is usually less drastically hot now than June. It starts at 8, if you’re interested in coming. I’ll be with a group from my church, in orange “Love Your Neighbor” shirts. There’s a group of welcoming churches, we’re going to make a rainbow with ourt shirts, my church is orange. Here’s the link for parade info: http://www.austinpride.org/#!p…
Then, on Monday the 16th, is Dining for Life, where restaurants are donating part of their evening’s take to AIDS Services of Austin. I’m hosting at Mother’s, but if that’s not convenient, there’s a bunch of restaurants. Here’s a list of restaurants – and it lists for both Monday & Tuesday: http://www.asaustin.org/site/P… But you want to come eat with me on Monday, right? So here’s info on Mother’s: http://motherscafeaustin.com/. I’ll get there around 6 & stay till it looks like most of my friends who are coming have done so.
And now about AIDS Walk Austin. I’ve been one of the top fundraisers for the Walk for the past several years. I’d really like to keep that tradition going. Money raised by the Walk goes to direct aid for people, like the foodbank at AIDS Services of Austin, the Jack Sansing Dental Clinic, and the services provided by the Wright House Wellness Center. Here’s my AIDS Walk Austin page, if you’d like to contribute.
And I made a video about the Walk, why I’ve done it for all the years it has existed:
And yes, I know it is the steroetypical “pride” song to use, but — my church is marching in the Pride parade and my restaurant for Dining for Life is Mother’s…… I gotta use We Are Family for this diary:
