London has its Gay Pride celebration on July 3rd, the day after my birthday. Tony, Matthew, and myself took the tube down to Oxford Circus (the heart of London), and found a spot on the curb.
It was a raucous event full of crazy people having a lot of fun.
There were the typical Gay Rights contingents, scantily clad men and boys, and various groups wanting to attract gay money.
There was also members of the police force, army, navy and various other British servicemen and women. That was really neat to see.
That evening, Tony and I went to the Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath, a large park in London, for an outdoor concert by Rufus Wainright with our deer friends Alan and Wendy.
The venue reminded me a bit of the Hollywood Bowl, though we sat in lawn chairs on grass instead of benches on cement.
We brought a pitcher of Pimms (a traditional British Summer Cocktail made with lemonade, sliced cucumber, sliced fruit, and mint) and a picnic dinner.
It made for a lovely evening.
