822.0. "Boston Gay PRIDE!!!" by TLE::TLE::D_CARROLL (assume nothing) Mon May 20 1991 13:13

    FYI:
    
    Boston's Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Pride March is Saturday, June 8.  It
    starts at noon at Government Center, and ends at the Boston Common.
    
    Tens of thousands of LesBiGays of all shapes, sizes and varieties will
    be out there - so will their friends and supporters!  I'll be there for
    sure.  (Pride is, to steal someone else's quote, one of the LesBiGay
    high holidays.  I wouldn't miss it for the world.)
    
    Say, who has the =wn= banner these days?  Are we going to get a =wn=
    contingent marching this year?

    What's the theme this year?
    
    I'm jealous 'cause I'm not going to be there.
    
    I will be at Denver's pride though...

I'll be there! And I'll be looking for the womannotes banner. I'll walk
with Digital groups for some of it, but I also like to bounce about and see \
the other groups marching.

    So it is less than week till Pride - I am SO PSYCHED!  :-)
    
    Justine has the =wn= banner currently, but as she will be taking the T
    in and out of Boston, she would like to find some one to take
    responsibility for taking the banner after the march and rally.  any
    volunteers?  (I would do it, but I will probably be on my motorcycle,
    and carrying it would be, well, difficult.)
    
    Also, we need volunteers to help *carry* the banner!  it takes two
    people at a time to carry it, but we don't want to same two people to
    have to carry it the whole time.  I will carry it some of the time, but
    there are a lot of people I want to see at Pride, so I will be running
    around all over the place, so I don't want to have it the whole time.
    Volunteers?
    
    Anyway, the march starts at noon.  I'll be there early, hopefully, and
    as soon as the banner gets there we can set it up so we'll be easy to
    found.  Last year all of the Digital groups marched together (each with
    their own banner, though.)  So look for a clump of DECcies standing
    together fairly close to the T-stop and come march with us!!
    
    D!

    Pride Live is being simulcast live on WMBR, Cambridge, 88.1 FM.  Not sure
    about when it starts (whenever the speeches start), but if you live
    within Rt. 495 you should be able to tune in.

    I am also planning to take the T, so I don't think I will be able to
    take the banner.  However, I definately want to help carry for a little
    ways.  I don't know how heavy it is, so I don't know how long I can
    "hold up my end", but I will carry it as long as I can!
    
    Can't wait!

    Pride.

    marching there to say hi. I'm gonna go totally wild!! You womanfolk can
    kiss me, touch my hair, nibble on my ears,pinch my butt, fluffy flirt!
    Seventh heaven!
    
    What are folks doing after? I'm going to meet some folks at Grendals
    (SP?) over in Harvard Sq. for dinner. Anyone want to meet us there? And
    guess what I'm gonna have for dessert?

                             COME JOIN US AT 
                    BOSTON PRIDE ON SATURDAY, JUNE 8TH 1991
                                 (At Noon) 


     Hi, everyone. Yes Digital's LES/BI/GAY community will be marching 
     together again this year. We've been working logistics, and wanted 
     to have as much info as possible for you before letting you know. 
     So here it is: 

     Some of us will be meeting: Outside the Government Center T-stop 
     between 11:15 and 11:30. We will be on the left as you exit into 
     the Government Center Plaza. Shortly thereafter we will head 
     towards a spot in line, and someone (or two) people (hopefully 
     with Digital T-shirts on) will remain at the T-stop to help direct 
     anyone who shows up afterward; but before the March actually begins. 

     Should you show up after we start to walk, You will most likely be 
     able to find us under one of the banners. If you plan to hang out 
     on the side-lines this year, please consider walking with us part 
     of the way..."Grab a tow, and then let go"..

     We also need VOLUNTEERS: So if you are a community minded sweety
     interested in helping out, we need: People to help carry banners 
     as well as people who would replace them so that no one person 
     has to do it for the entire time. 

     Also if you have a Digital T Shirt, it would probably be nice if 
     you wore it, and see you there.

     This is so exciting! (They're expecting 85,000 people!)

822.9Look for the Banner around 11:00 or soCOGITO::SULLIVANSinging for our livesThu Jun 06 1991 18:4010
    
    I'm going to bring the WOmannotes banner with the 2 poles that make it
    easier to carry, but I'm going to leave behind all that framing we
    had to make it possible to stand it up when we were in Washington --
    that's the stuff that's heavy.  
    
    So... look for the Womannotes banner -- we'll be near the other DEC
    banners -- anytime after 11:00 or so.
