I completely missed hearing anything about this year's Pride Fest which took place yesterday, until today when (belatedly) skimming a local news & events email.

The fest included a performance by the 80s band "Berlin". I might have liked to hear them play. Then again, I don't know... milling about downtown with a bunch of people would have felt awkward. Like the other times I went. And the music might have made me feel nostalgically sad. Or hopelessly chipper.

An occasion which would feel like just another burst of personally meaningless color, noise, and sensory input.

Valerie June. I love her voice. Came across her while doing a search on "Somebody to Love" (Berlin's cover of the Jefferson Airplane song). She's just released a new album, Pushin' Against A Stone.
