Dropout.tv in Valhalla?

 So, someone once observed that, in addition to the annual Gay Pride parade, Seattle ALSO has the Fremont Summer Solstice Parade (which is a community organized, non profit, No Words Allowed Floats and Band parade, which is preceded by a couple thousand self organizing people getting together, getting to some degree of nude (or possibly Naked (Nude means not wearing clothes; Naked is Not wearing Clothes AND being Up To Something)) and riding bicycles along the parade route, back and forth. This is something I have participated in for the last several years), and the Seafair Pirates Landing (where well dressed pirates stage a landing at one of our beaches, and proceed to storm the city in colorful regalia). And it says something about Seattle that the Pride Parade is the third Gayest annual event. 

So, Solstice Parade was today. I rode, painted orange with black spots ("I was going to do something different, but a leopard cannot change his shorts"). And It was awesome. And, among other things, i saw a woman whose paint was pink ribbons, on various parts of her body. 

And it was awesome and I came home, and decided to watch Hank Greens stand up special, on Dropout.tv, called Pissing Out Cancer. About his journey with Hodgkins Lymphoma, from diagnosis to remission. It made me laugh, because it is very very funny and very very smart. And it made me cry, because I cannot send a link to Marci, and say, Hey, I think you would like this. It's funny and smart, which are two things you like a lot. 

I can, however, tell you. This is a very funny man being very funny. And I can hope that Valhalla has a Dropout.tv subscription.
