Do you have fabulous photos of you and your family and friends enjoying PrideFest? Would you like to share them with the official blog of PrideFest and have them seen by thousands of people? Email them to drewdenver@aol.com along with any information or captions you would like to include and I'll make sure they get posted up for all to see.
I'll get the ball rolling with some of mine:
Here I am splashing in the fountain way in the background.
Not sure exactly what we were trying to accomplish here but everybody seems to be having fun.
Here I am waiting with my Out Front Colorado contingent for the parade to start. Judging by my outfit, it's 1997. Visor? Check. Oakleys? Check. Puka shell necklace? You know that's right.
Tearin' it up on the dancefloor after a couple cocktails.

PrideFest Rumor Mill
I have it from a very good source that musclegod Matthew Rush just might be coming to Denver's PrideFest to sex the joint up this year. Sounds good to me! You'll know more when I do.
Here's a clip of him signing autographs at San Francisco Gay Pride:

What is your favorite part of PrideFest?
"I think my favorite thing about PrideFest is just the spirit of community that seems to happen along the sides of the streets. Not necessarily what goes on in the parade. It's very strange to me how everybody just seems to come together on the curbside and I think it's a wonderful thing. It's been a part of every PrideFest I've been involved in and I hope that we never, ever lose that." - Jerry Wheeler, staff writer for Out Front Colorado

Romaine is confirmed for PrideFest
Romaine Patterson has been confirmed for PrideFest as the emcee for Family Field Day. Romaine is the co-host of Sirius Satellite Radio's "Derek and Romaine" show who first got started in GLBT activism when her close friend Matthew Shepard was killed in Wyoming in 1998. She is perhaps best known for her work combating the anti-gay Rev. Fred Phelps (whose Westboro Baptist Church picketed Shepard's funeral) as the founder of Angel Action, an organization for peaceful demonstration.
Pride is for families
Family Field Day takes place on Saturday, June 21 at 14th and Broadway and features an all-day Pride Festival with such events as a Kid's Pride Parade (just about the cutest thing you ever saw!), Family Field Day Activities, and a Family-Centered Community Stage with fun for families and children of all ages.
