Gay Pride Parade - SoupTown USA!

Hey blogger reader folks Today we headed out the door at 11:00 on our way to INK Tattoo in Superior, WIsconsin. Why you ask? Cause the good folks at INK - Jacob, Jill and Matt (You cats ROCK IT!) have a bloody mary bar in their tattoo shop - which is a helluva shop if you're ever thinkin' bout inkin' it up. Anyway, they do this prior to the gay pride parade that travels past their store front on Tower Avenue. I have to say that their spread brought a tear to my eye... shrimp, celery, pickled garlic, olives, pickles, asparagus spears, Pabst beer for snits... I'm forgeting half the stuff... but what really brought me to my knees was a big plate of BACON... and not just some pan-fried-here-ya-go-bacon-&-eggs-bacon... this stuff was baked in brown sugar and something else that I forgot cuz when I bit into that stuff I went straight to heaven... a Gay Pride Heaven! Have you ever had a slice of bacon in your bloody mary? Well then you haven't lived! Wow that stuff was great - thanks to Matt O... wow again! I"m just pissed I didn't snap a photo of their spread. A couple pics from the parade....

DellMarie and Carrie couldn't keep their eyes off this guy... the dude in the orange... they tried taking like 10 pictures of him...but OOOPS... BUSTED! By the way ladies... HE"S GAY!

And finally - this was the most Flaming Float of the parade... which wasn't all that flaming... I was pleasently suprised... only because I think the gay community does iteslf a disservice when they have dudes parading down main street in ass-less chaps or something crazy like that... makes it tough to take them seriously... but all in all this parade was very dignified and honorable... nothing objectionable here...

Oh, crap... and finally - the folks at INK & friends were prepared for the haters and repenters.... so here are a few pics of them confronting the JESUS SAVES folks... priceless...
