Pride Weekend stuff!

So I meant to do this last week but... well, if anyone knows where my executive function has gone, let me know.

ANYWAY! Since Fandom Pride is happening this weekend, I wanted to put up a semi-formal signup/brainstorming post for people/businesses that want to participate in Saturday's picnic/festival with a booth of some kind.

Basic itinerary is this:

Saturday afternoon - Picnic and festival
Saturday evening - Open mic night + Steph and Jaskier's set
Sunday morning - Parade

So basically if any of the local businesses want to give stuff out or have some kind of activity, could you drop a ping in here by Friday the 17th so I have a general idea of what will be happening? There's also space to brainstorm ideas. Thanks!

Need an idea for a booth or want help hashing out the details? Here's where that goes.

Had thought about Dwight doing something- obviously wood work related. But not sure yet on specifics of what he could make easily to give out. Little nick knacks or something along those lines. And obviously something that could be painted to the different flags and colors. But yeah... my brain is too melted from 10+ hr days and life being a BI*%H to get much past this right now. So, I'm open to any suggestions!

Can he carve figurines? Maybe little wooden gremlins or squirrels painted various pride colors?

He's def done animal figurines before! I like the idea of island critters- squirrels, racoons, gremlins, porgs, and flamingos.

Somebody could do one of those "I'm your mom/dad/family" booths maybe. IRL those are the ones where people can go for emotional support and a hug. Possibly not as necessary given how welcoming Fandom is but hey, free hugs.

I want badly photoshopped parade floats and/or Fandom wildlife in pride gear. Or Fandom residents in badly photoshopped attire.

This is not useful but it's what I want.

Like the thread title says. Drop 'em here.

Slapping this down before I forget, but obviously Summer's gonna want a jello table, T&C will take a booth with, like, gift bags and shit, and most importantly, Furnado WILL be contributing puppies for the parade, I have been wanting s puppy parade for AAAAGES.

Just gonna point out that if you're having a gay themed puppy parade the puppies could also be wearing costumes.

(...appropriate OOC icon is appropriate)

Oh I figured that went without saying.

(Equally appropriate OOC icon in response, even!)

Putting it down that Dwight will have the booth/table with his hand carved pride figurines.

And Billy will have a spot set up for Surf's Up and be giving out water bottles to attendees.

The Forge would probably take a booth, too, actually!

(No one needs to sign up under the proper accounts for any of mine, apparently)

Hannibal can definitely have a booth with food and a ton of info on things like dealing with bigoted family (with and without murder) and supporting queer friends and things.

AND IN CLASSIC ME FASHION, Tisarwat has been completely forgotten about, and even though Pride still leaves her a little bewildered, she will definitely be wanting a booth for Groovy Tunes, please.

Late because I took forever to decide what I wanted to do and then landed on the obvious choice, lol. Irene'll take a booth for Dite's, which will be having a little Pride pop-up sale highlighting queer-owned companies and inclusive toys, along with brochures and information on safe sex and more free rainbow-colored prophylactics than you can choke on.*

*maybe some info on not choking on prophylactics.

You know. This is where you... ask.

The compulsory OOC thread.

I am so tired. *sobs*
