Downtown Erie blazed rainbows on Saturday, August 29, as over 300 members of the LGBT community and their allies celebrated at the Pride Fest and Parade organized by NW PA Pride Alliance.
The day began with the Pride Parade, which stepped off from the Zone Dance Club, 133 W 18th St, Erie PA. Parade units included Erie Gay News, NW PA Pride Alliance, Erie Sisters & Brothers Transgender Support Group, reigning Miss Erie 2015 Valerie Valentino, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) NWPA Chapter, LBT Women, Greater Erie Alliance for Equality (GEAE), Community United Church, Ladyfest Erie, Northwestern High School GSA, Keystone Progress, and Unitarian-Universalist Congregation of Erie.
The parade rolled north on State Street, ending at Griswold Park. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first "Family Portrait" in October of 1995 on the steps of the Erie County Courthouse, a group photo was taken.
The keynote speaker of the event was Pennsylvania Physician General Dr. Rachel Levine, the first openly-transgender state level cabinet member confirmed in the U.S. Dr. Levine was introduced by Pennsylvania State Senator Sean Wiley of the 49th Senatorial District. Both the Senator and Physician General spent the afternoon at the Pride Fest following their speeches, enjoying the Erie community and speaking to community members.
The event was hosted by drag queen Lovin' Heart and DJ Tony G, along with assistance from their stage manager Jessica Pierce. Entertainment was provided by a variety of performance artists: Drag queens Misty Michaels Kall (Miss Erie 2011 and host of the Zone Diva shows), Sasha Alexxander, Taylor Morgan (Miss Erie 2005), Angelica Arkett, and Valerie Valentino (current Miss Erie); local vocalist and songwriter Bob Bearfield played an acoustic guitar set, and the show concluded with electronic dance musician Billy Winn.
Following Winn's performance, a pair of young women became engaged with a surprise, on-stage proposal.
In addition to the entertainment, attendees had a variety of vendors and information tables to browse. The event was attended by representatives of many local health agencies, non profits, LGBTA groups and multiple vendors.

"The year is 2547. The Covenant are currently invading the planet Skopje. Things aren't going very well, at least not for me. We were being dropped in to create a perimeter around a shipyard so some big corporation could evacuate their ships. Sounds easy enough, but I was seperated from my team during the drop and landed in a field in the middle of freaking nowhere. My radio is being jammed, and I can't use a flare because that would alert the Covies. I can see smoke off in the distance, so that must mean that the Covenant are destroying a city there or something. I guess the old saying is true, Feet First Into Hell. Looks like I've got a lot of walking ahead of me."
Hey guys! Figured I'd do a Halo story, try something different. Tell me what you guys think! Comments and faves are greatly appreciated! I'll be going on vacation for a week, so I apologize in advance because I won't be able to respond to your comments right away.
Another discarded railway wagon to add to my collection found abandoned across Worcestershire! This one is in the grounds of Cottage Farm, Droitwich.
Went on a sunset hunt whilst in Germany and ended up in the middle of nowhere off road with the hire car. Wish I could have washed up the side panels a bit to remove the layer of mud I had managed to deposit all over it :)
P.S - Don't tell Avis!
Fur seal just off state highway 1 approaching Kaikoura from the North. Their prey is fish, cephalopods such as squid and octopus, and crustacea including krill. Most dives last one or two minutes. Fur seals will forage up to 200 kilometres beyond the continental slope, often diving as deep as 200 metres.
The seals breed on steep boulder beaches with plenty of crevices and tidal pools. Their layer of fat and thick fur coats, which enable them to endure long periods in water, can cause overheating on land. Crevices provide shade, and tidal pools a place to cool off.

I'm off to Amsterdam tomorrow. Stay tuned to www.facebook.com/DarwinTunes tomorrow night for live updates and probably the chance to join in (with our new music evolution game) when you get back from the pub.
taken by greg. it's actually a good way to end the work week... after i get home from UPS in the afternoon, i have enough time to shower, grab dinner, and then head off to work at the bar where we hang out on weekends. it's extra money, and i get to socialize without having to spend any. all and all it's a good time.
I bought her off ebay, i've been desperate to get ahold of Aurora for a long time ever since i got Snow White and Ariel when they first came out. But i waited until she came with her original magazine. The doll herself is mixed results while the magazine was pretty pathetic as it turned out. The doll has awful nylon hair, and is glued into place along her hair line, and gelled into 3 curls at the back. Her dress is a poly satin sleeve, collar and peplum, with cotton bodice and skirt. The skirt is pleated which is nice as this is very rare on aurora dolls. Her face dosn't look that much like Aurora, and her tiara looks nothing like the movie version. She came with painted on shoes and a nylon lace petticoat.
The magazine had a condensed princess-magazine style of the sleeping beauty story, with a page showing the proto aurora (surprisingly exactly the same as the production) with little notes of information. I swear my original ariel magazine include info on how the made the doll, wheras aurora came with notes like "aurora's animal friends enjoy darting in and out of her hair.... but now shes in the castle, she likes to let it loose".

Canada Pavilion
Off Kilter is a fast paced, progressive, Celtic-rock band that blends many different styles of music into one undefinable sound. Consisting of five members from ethnically diverse backgrounds, Off Kilter brings a new twist to Celtic music. Off Kilter was formed in 1997, and has been performing regularly at Epcot ever since.
PS: Susan - thanks to you I am out $78 dollars! After we saw Off Kilter you knew I would have to purchase the rest of their CD's and a t-shirt to boot!
