This week’s party will feature the Red Hot Soulful sounds of DJ Nolita of Fruitcake and DJ Shannon Wizbang of Olympia fame. Plenty of dark corners to get lost in and really feel the music, if you know what I mean.

Portland is once again a thriving Oasis of food, booze, and yes swim suits, shorts, and tank tops. We can’t hide behind our Columbia Sportswear parka’s and wool sweaters. We are exposed! So Portland I turned to Tim Irwin, on the advice of my best friend, to get into shape.

Watch  for float no #94, that’s us, yours truly!

We’re super excited for SuperGay – I, Perry, have to go see a man about a dog on Sunday, so I’m very glad SuperGay will sup-port us, geddit? OK, enough puns, y’all know the parade and afterparty at the park are the highlights of Sunday…stay hydrated!
