but now i'm not so sure. I live about 3 and a half hours from Atlanta. If I went i'd have to go by myself though..and i don't think that'd be as much fun. My sister lives there so i have free room and all...but gas prices are ridiculous!

To meet each other at Atlanta Pride, that's seems cool. I do not have anyone to go with either and it will be my first pride as well. Also what about hotels? do you all know if there are still hotel rooms available? I am thinking hotels will be packed since Pride is during July 4th weekend. If so, I probably will not be able to make it.

If any of you go have fun and be safe. :)

I acted like such a groupie my gf had to be cool for the both of us;0) I can't wait 'til next PRIDE!!! P.S. Volunteer it's fun and you get to meet tons of cool people and network.

I only went on Saturday.  It was decent. I was sweating like woah! lol.  I like how I had seen different individuals, booths, etc.  I was looking for the "Lovers and Friends" internet series booth but I do not see it.  I was a little disappointed.  I am going to go to Black Atlanta Pride as well. That's neat that you all went and some of you seen Jenn.

We also saw Hollissia Holloway who plays Dre walking by and we wanted to hit up their booth but we didn't get around to it.

I want to go to Black Pride too.

Dani Campbell from Tila Tequila season 1 was there on Saturday.  I was star struck, but managed to squeak a hello out before I got my picture taken with her.

I was there from noon until about 4.  I got soaked twice by the torrental downpour, but I made the nice HRC girl stand out there and talk to me in it.  I figured I'd share the wealth of wet clothes with everyone. :D  Good times!  Am looking forward to next year already.
