jeffcovey.net -- baltimore gay pride day 2000

these are photos of baltimore's gay pride day, 6/10/2000. i helped run the primetimers table there. sorry some of these are a little blurry; i keep forgetting that i have to move a switch on the camera to change between close, medium, and far shots.

	booths, booths, booths. comments (0)
	some guys at the primetimers table. the fellow in the middle hadn't been out of his nursing home in over two years. his social worker got him in touch with us, and we got him out for the day. comments (0)

	roasting faggots. (ok, that's really awful, but i can't resist the pun. it was painfully hot out there.) comments (0)
	the main stage. there was a terrific jazz guitarist playing there. after she finished her set, someone from the staff came out to say, "let's give her a big round of applause. now remember, there are donation boxes all around the site, so if you want to hear something better next year, go make a contribution." i should have followed my first instinct, and gone up on stage to chew him out for that. i couldn't believe how disrespectful he was to her. hope she didn't take it to heart; she was wonderful. comments (0)
	the view of the lake, a much more beautiful sight than this blurry shot betrays. comments (0)

	the kids area. i thought the games were free, but found out you had to buy tickets to play. 25 cents/ticket, and 6 tickets to play the larger games like the inflated jumping thing. oh, well; guess they had to offset the cost of renting it. comments (0)
	jim matthews of maryland community kitchen. what a cutie. :) richard was making his move as the shutter snapped. comments (2)
	looking down toward the small stage again. comments (0)
