Well dont think I will be going to LA pride, but the Long Beach Pride Parade will be going by the fount of my place so in a way I will attend that. ;)
LA Pride has been a slow disappointment over the last few years. The people who attend seem focused on drinking, partying and getting laid. Don't get me wrong. There's fun to be had doing that stuff!
However if you're a business owner and you want to target an audience my recommendation is to head to Long Beach, San Francisco, or even Phoenix. Personally, those shows have been much more successful in terms of doing business. If you're an East Coast boy or girl, definitely make DC and Atlanta two of your pride show stops.
I may not be in LA for Pride but will definitely be up there for business at least once a month to promote projects I'm working on.
why shouldn't l.a. pride be a great big party? it's supposed to be fun! i don't even drink and it's always a blast. i'd love to do some business on the side, but i go to pride to help myself remember what it was like in quentin crisp's day, and in my early days when things were still pretty iffy - and today the gay, lesbian, bi and trans communities can have a parade. we're legal, we have supporting groups like pflag - and that's worth celebrating!
I'll be in LA for the gay pride. I just graduated so I'll be in California for a couple of weeks... trying to get some time off before I enter the real world =p
I'll be staying in a youth hostel in the middle of hollywood, since I wasn't able to find anything else... I tried to find a sublet on Craigslist but... damn... there are a lot of strange people/offers there. Anyone has any suggestion of places/things I should see while I am there?
I was speaking as a professional and not as an attendee. All the Pride shows are fun and great just to let your hair down. I've done that a lot! :angel:

Thanks for pointing out why Pride Day anywhere is starting to suck.. kinda by accident.Quote:

Pride Day should be about the community.. not for banks and time share companies hocking their wares.
Pride Day sucks now becuase companies who bring nothing to the community are all showing up and deluging us with their sales pitch.
Toronto is the only one left that's still just a big street party, and that's becuse they sacrificed the parade to the corporations.
But to answer the question, I'll be riding my bike in the parade and I'll be hanging out on Saturday night. I'll hang out for a bit on Sunday, and then I'll head over to The Eagle and Party my ASS off with the men there.
And I'll proudly be there to party and drink and get laid and I'll be proudly NOT buying anything, adding my name to mailing lists or entering draws for SUVs.
Check out The Getty Center...its a wonderful way to spend a day and its free!Quote:

I'm not really a fan of Gay Pride (it's become too commerical, and is more about "product" and "scene" instead of anything rooted in genuinely altruistic goals), so I never go unless A) I get free entry or B) someone interesting is playing. The only time I've ever gone to L.A. Pride was for exactly two hours so I could see Debbie Harry play last summer. I went in, went straight to my seat in the front row, watched the show, then stopped by one of the concession stands to get a Hawaiian BBQ chicken bowl, then made my quick exit. That was the most ideal Pride experience I've ever had. LOL! Quick and relatively painless!
I MIGHT go this year to see Berlin and the Bangles play. Other than that, though, I have no interest. These days, I'm more annoyed by the gay community than I am proud of it. ;)
