First, the biggest highlight: meeting [livejournal.com profile] chen_tokuryu live, in-person. He said a few (eloquent) words on behalf of his riding association (Vancouver-Kingsway) as well.

Vancouver-Burrard, our provincial riding association, organizes a Pride Brunch fundraiser each year. This year the federal leader Jack Layton came to speak and conduct an auction. [livejournal.com profile] querrelle came along and none of the socialists bit him. The event was on the verandah at the Coast Plaza Stanley Park, on a gorgeous sunny August Vancouver day. Good food, good crowd, and money was raised. Pictures can be found here.

Among those pictures are some from our recent fireworks cruise. How's this for a photo:

I know, I'm a lucky man. And here's Jack working his magic on us all:

(shame about the hat. And the baggy Wrangler jeans)

Jack's assistants for the auction included Pussy Willow. Who broke a heal doing a cartwheel for a $200 donation to the cause.

A good start to Pride weekend.
