The sun was slowing cooking us and we felt drastically under-dressed, but we were there, in the crowd, for St. Louis’ annual Pride Parade yesterday.

Great crowd (in both size and energy) and as always, visually interesting. We had a great time hanging out (though not as much fun as the guy picture above had hanging out) and putting together another Punching Kitty photo montage, which you can watch below or in HD at our Vimeo page.

We will happily post our whole set of photos if requested, but this is our favorite shot:

Good luck to you buddy!  While others only hang out by the Porta Potties because they drastically miscalculated the amount of beer and fair food they could pack in to their colon, this guy uses that time to find love.  This is a guy that takes advantage of every situation!

Pride talked to you by the porta potties….. – m4m

I talked with you by the Porta potties about if you had been to the Latino Bar by 44. It ended up that you know the guy I was asking about. You said you were with your “Mother” but ended up to be a friend. Tell me what you said you “do” for a living and what yoru best asset on your body was? Pleaes send pic so I konw it was you.

This must have been a mysterious meet up by the porta potties judging by the amount of quotes around seemingly non-mysterious words.  I do hope this guy finds his missed connection, but if he doesn’t, our advantageous porta potty paramour has his bases covered as his missed connection continues!

P.S. If the Life guard we both ended up chatting with see this……. Please get ahold of me…. Tell me something I will know that it was you>>>>>>>> i.e. what type of undies did wear.

I assume he meant “life guard” and “chatting.”

Dammit.  Nevermind the fact that they have lifeguards for some reason in Tower Grove Park, now I’m wondering what kind of underwear the lifeguard was wearing.

If we would have known that by mid Saturday we would be busy hiding from the heat, re-launching this blog, we would have made a point to grab our camera and head over to Pridefest.  But we didn’t.  We suck.

Luckily we live in an age where you don’t have to do anything to pretend  you are there, all you need is a few moments to do a Twitter or Flickr search!

We found a few great pics and videos via Twitter user @Daethian!  Here’s are personal favorite video:

Note the awesome “fourish” at the end of the flip.  Totally fabulous!

See all of Daethian’s pics and videos by heading to her blog, Forever Purple

We also found some amazing photos (like the one at the top of this post) from Flickr user kperfetto, in her Pridefest photo set.

All the trappings of being there without having to actually leave the house!  We do promise to get over there next year though.
