2001 Summer Pride Tour - CSW
Parade, West Hollywood, CA
We were asked to participate on the L.A./Valley Pride Float for the CSW Pride Parade. Since we will be performing at L.A./Valley Pride, they asked us to be live entertainment on their float to help publicize their event. We performed a cappella throughout the parade and we also helped constuct the float early that morning. Here are some of the pictures. It was a great success!
Here is Steve, Jim, and Jim's boyfriend Dennis starting the construction.
We started with a large flat-bed truck.
You can tell who the "butch" ones are- Steve & Dennis- measuring and hammering!
Steve & Dennis get a little help with the rainbow from Peggy Waters, entertainment chair for L.A./Valley Pride.
Jim & Dennis check the rainbow- it looks good!
Here is Steve & Larry in front of the float- which is starting to take shape.

THANKS so much for all your help Dennis!
