24. I saw lots of EVERYTHING! And ALL of it GOOD!

No. On second thought, not good, more like Absolutely Freakin’ TERRIFIC!!!

I can’t say enough about what a total upper it was! Went with a friend, ran into a few more friends, but by the time we finally left, it felt like the whole doggone crowd was new friends!

There was such a great vibe, all day! Totally nonviolent. The general good mood and the sense of enjoyment, fellowship, and genuine caring about each other’s rights and wellbeing and the preservation of both! Just a BIGTIME damn fine time was had by all, or at least that sure is how it looked. Literally EVERYBODY was there. Every kind of human. Every color of skin, every color of hair, every size and shape AND styling! Every age and level of capability. Every kind of clothing and personal adornment. Tattoos and bare unmarked skin, both. Everybody bound together by the same love of liberty and justice for ALL. Just a Damn Fine Day! The kind of day, and gathering, that I hope to see A LOT more of in the future, both near AND FAR!

Just a whole rooting’ tootin’ big-ass-celebrational thoroughly boffo day!

I came away from the event with one over-arching question: when’s the next one?!?! (With a side of Where and How Soon!)
