That's great, Rosie! I love all the color. :)

I gave Gaius copies of a couple of Pride flags (with hold animations) that we can distribute. (Not CDS-themed; just generic ones.)

I'm ready for the parade! I found rainbow hair in my inventory. :D

Do we need to do anything to help with decorations along the parade route? I'm sure I have some colorful party décor in my inventory if you need it.

Yes! We should start getting set up ASAP! I will be more free after today (Wednesday), so I expect to get on this fervently after my Latin class.

I did a bit of decorating on the beach this evening. I'll turn off the confetti for now so it won't drive Mizou crazy, but I think it will be a fun addition for the beach party. :)

I also attached a couple of waving Pride flags to the bridge.

That is wonderful, Sylvia! I am going to get started on the basics and prepare those rainbow coloured searchlights I talked about for the Schloss and the Praetorium.

Awesome! I definitely want to see the major buildings light up in rainbow hues. Let me know if you need anything else; I'll be around some tonight and can assist with more decorating if needed!

I just had a wonderful thought! Why not have a ceremony before or after all the festivities at Kendra's Park in NFS to commemorate the role that LGBT people had in the forming of the CDS?

That's a great idea! I would suggest we do it afterward, since we've already sent out word about time and place and it might be hard to get people to show up earlier than planned. But either way, I will do my best to attend!

Excellent job lighting the buildings for the parade, Gaius! I just saw the photos you posted on Flickr, and they look great!

That was a lot of fun! It was good to see so many CDS faces there, including some I seldom see in world due to time zone differences, etc. We had a good number of guests, and the regions looked great all decorated up in rainbow lights.

Can't wait to see all the pics that are already popping up on Flickr, and am looking forward to Bags' videos too! Although she was dancing awfully close to the tiki bar, so those might come out a bit blurry... ;)
