Join the parade, the early days in photographs...

I'm just gonna throw this out there, I'm pretty sure I did this once before at some point in time, but I wanted to do it again here, updated.

2001: Me, Ag, Johnnie, Jen (we met Randy and Brian, who we already knew on the Metro.  Also met this cute little lesbian who was going all by herself named Kendra, so we kind of adopted her for the day. And my friend Mark met us down there)

2003: Did not attend the Parade, due to ParisPekings' getting married that day.

2004: Me and Ag (we spent the night in DC and attended the festival on Sunday AND the Madonna Concert Sunday night!  Mark met us at the Parade.)

The pic is from the festival, it was at a 'Kissing Booth'.  Give a dollar to their charity, pick the person you want there and they'll kiss you (no lips or tongue).  I chose the cutie next to for a kiss on the cheek, Ag chose the hot guy, his kissed the back of her hand all gentlemanly-like.  When the guy snapped the pic, the cutie who had kissed me leaned up and gave me a free peck on the cheek.

2005: Me and Ag, I think Mark may have met us there.  Can't seem to find any pics.

2006: Me and Ag and my friend Gar and his boyfriend Tory.  I know I have photos somewhere of this, but where, I have no idea.

2007: Me and Ag and her future husband Andrew 

Me, Ag, Andrew's forehead and grey hair behind her...and really, that's as much of him as I need to have in any photo
