    Try this: dump used cat litter into the salad spinner, spin it like crazy, then collect the proceeds! :grin:

    On the original question:
    I don't really count stuff like clothes & money since I'd have those with me normally anywhere I go LOL

    The 3 things I brought with me to a pride parade last year were: camera, extra batteries for camera, and bottle of water.
    Not gonna risk going to the pride parade this year...but do plan on going to the festival

    2- My cell phone (quite a given, but I would want to get some contacts)

    3- Comdons :slight_smile:

    You know, at first I was going to give the usual 'cellphone, wallet, camera' response, but now I'm seriously considering a shirt with 'faggot' or some other reference to being LGBT just to give homophobic bigots the metaphorical finger. I'm just not sure if this would make other LGBT there feel offended?

    Cheers from Winnipeg.

    The three things I think are always essential:

    1. Cell Phone - Important for meeting up with people. I ended up meeting up with different people throughout the day. The parade and then Osbourne Village for lunch and then off to the Forks to meet some other people. Without a phone I wouldn't know where to find anyone except for running into people randomly.

    2. Sunscreen - I never remember this one and every year I've gone I've always come home sunburned. Usually a friend slathers some on me but I still usually get burned, especially if I'm there for a long time.

    3. Wallet - It contains things like money which can be used to buy things and I.D. which allows entry into the beer tent. Sometimes I hide out in there because it's out of the sun and next to the stage and I can drink some ice-cold Queer Beers.

    I second this. I almost died during Midsumma.

    Water and sunscreen are a necessity.

    2: My phone... 'Cause duh. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    3: An umbrella. So, I can throw shade everywhere. :sunglasses: :lol:

    Hahahahahaha! Nice one. In my old workplace I could have used a centrifuge. They probably would have frowned on that though.

    A pride accessory, money for food/attractions or whatever there is to be spent on there, and possibly a friend.
    If a human doesn't count, then I'll go for... more accessories? I dunno really
    The cellphone is a given, so I count that as a secretive fourth item :grin:

    OMG THAT SOUNDS FUN
    we didn't have any bible thumpers at ours this year, my city has kind of come to a point where the homophobes hide on pride cause they know we are loud and proud motherfuckers who don't take shit.

    Part of me says I am sorry that you have to deal with those jerks but the other parts like OMG CAT PEE WATER BALLOONS FTW
