Just back from Pride where just two hours ago they closed the streets and people are still streaming into the neighbourhood. The energy is building.<\/p>\n

While waiting for BobaDoug, SharkBoy and I sat on the wall outside the 519 Community Centre, where we were entertained by a young, slightly high lesbian youth who wanted to know all about my Five Finger shoes. She and I eventually left the topic of shoes and got into a game of shouting “HAPPY CANADA DAY!!” at random people. SharkBoy was in stitches because, in true Torontonian fashion, when you yell a greeting at a stranger in this town they instantly put on this face of “Oh my god you are yelling at me and if I ignore you, you might disappear…” <\/p>\n

Of course the slightly high lesbian youth would yell “Happy Cananaerrday!” and that made me laugh.<\/p>\n

Regardless, here are some pics! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
