Of course, with such a nice day, the question of what to do with it arises. Mighty Mel will be down at Emerald Downs acting as an honorary steward for one for the horse races on Irish Day. She
There's also the Gay Pride Parade today; or should I say the New and Improved Seattle Pride 2006™ Parade - they have moved the event from Capitol Hill to downtown and the Seattle Center. Dingo et alia watched an alternate parade on Saturday - the LGBT Community Center held a "march and rally" on Broadway and a Queerfest in Volunteer Park to keep the tradition on the hill. I don't know if this event will be much of a draw for Our Gang today, either.
One event that has to take place to day is cleaning up from the other event that happened last night. A veritable throng - J-Force, Soapy, Mighty Mel, Hi-Lai & Welcome Matt, Johnbai, Cair-uhl, and Dingo - made the trek up to LFP for our first SOS (Summer Outdoor Spectration). Grilled veggie dogs, Mel's Mighty Salsa, ripe raspberries, bean salad, and mimosas were among the comestibles; the film fare featured a Rent excerpt, a Venture Brothers cartoon, and the John Carpenter classic They Live, which was great fun for everyone except Dingo (who enjoyed it almost as much as she did Nacho Libre and might have said this). Anyway, we had a great time, hanging out until almost 1:00 am, and it was wonderful to have everybody together. We are going to leave the spectration rig up there, I think, and try for a repeat next weekend.
But for today, we'll just see where the warm winds blow us.

Yeh, we hit the century mark around 4:00 pm today - one reason we were inside an air-conditioned movie house watching "Cars". Looks like it will be just as hot tomorrow so the boys and I are off to the Oregon coast to get some of those cooler ocean breezes (plus a temperature differential of about 20 degrees).
