Hello Huzzah

PRIDE

I'm awfully late writing this post, as the DC Pride Parade was a few weeks ago! But with the latest victory against DOMA and NY Pride this weekend, I think it's a good time to finally attempt to put the glittery, confetti-filled event into words.
We got to Dupont Circle two hour early to secure a great spot; with Starbucks sweet tea in hand and sunglasses slightly askew, we people-watched as the excitement started to build.
And, it. was. so. EXCITING.












Linda Carter, beautiful men with water guns, feathers, confetti, fun music....


Everything a pride parade should be.
During the two hours parade, we laughed (mostly), teared up (a little...due to the overwhelming compassion of PFLAG and the various churches that showed support), ducked water guns, caught beads...and when it was over, we wished it wasn't.




HUZZAH PRIDE!

Comet Ping Pong

We woke up late today, made coffee, and slowly got ready to go to lunch at Comet Ping Pong. Comet Ping Pong is a really fun restaurant that, as your probably guessed, is comet and ping pong themed. The tables are painted like ping pong tables and for 50 cents (the price of a ball) you can play ping pong on one of three tables in the back of the restaurant.



The pizza was delicious, the tiramisu even more so, and I think we played the game surprisingly well (ok, not really). The restaurant is eccentrically decorated and has been featured in a slew of famous foodie publications and tv shows (Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives for instance). And the LivingSocial deal we utilized was kick ass. So, look into that.





It is a 15 minute walk to and from the Tenleytown metro and in the Spring weather, holding hands, it was divine.


Perfect Saturday.
And even better, Doctor Who is on tonight.
 
Many Huzzahs,
