Turn around….

And, since they decided to move Fremont’s hugely popular SOLSTICE PARADE to 3 pm, you MIGHT get to enjoy both events…but, only if traffic cooperates with you. Due to many events and road construction, the traffic situation this weekend is probably going to be terrible…take your time and be patient!

As for the Fremont Solstice Fair/Parade, you really should check it out. It’s a hippy dippy, lovefest with terrific DIY floats, NO advertising at all, and LOTS of naked, albeit painted, people. It’s very queer friendly as well…a lot of those nekkid hippies are gay, bi or poly! FUN for the whole family!

Oh, the Parade is TODAY only, but the Fair continues TOMORROW as well.

Now, lets cross our little fingers and toes that we have this weather NEXT weekend for Pride!
