    For the third year, I videotaped the Boston Pride Parade. I've reviewed
previous parades on tape and this one seemed to be much "angrier" and more
"political" than in years past. Last year's was quite somber with a very 
sizable AIDS contingent marching. This year's AIDS group was even larger,
with a "play safe" group trailing behind. This year the parade seemed to be
larger than in the past. I'de guess that there were 20,000+ men and women 
marching. 
    After the parade my roomate and I held a cookout for friends and we show-
ed the tape after dinner. Comments were made regarding where Ray's 12/1 zoom
lense found itself looking. Saticon cruising can be fun and it's virus free!
    How did the marches go in other cities? Did you find this year to be a
quiet, somber march or were your's more festive?
