Toronto Pride Night

So Sunday night was the last night of the Pride Week festivities in Toronto. We had to go back and see for ourselves what it was like. Especially since there were a lot of free music concerts and such.

We weren't the only ones with that idea. It was super crowded!

Here's a few shots of some of the more colourful people:


Of course there were some more seedy scenes that night, but I decided I didn't want to put that on my blog. No need to submit you all to some of the horros of that night. Let's just say that I am really tired of seeing dudes wearing "ass-less chaps".....

We then went to see this cool jazz band called Swing Rosie. They are a sweet trio of ladies from Montreal doing old skool swing era music. It was pretty good. The photo didn't turn out so well, otherwise I'd point out which singer got hit in the head when a gay cowboy though a string of beads at her.

Here is a shot I took of this dude who tried to slip through the pedestrian barriers to get closer to the band. Unfortunately his butt was too huge so he got stuck. Its ok though cause the crowd managed to push him through. It was a group effort. We all clapped as his wife soothed his damaged ego.

It was a great night. Lot's of different people were out. Don't be fooled by the Pride Week ocassion. There were so many straight men and women out there, it was like a sexy night club exploded on the street. The only other time you'll ever see so many topless women will be if you pay a cover charge.

I had to snap this last shot of this carribean food stall. The smell of spice and charcoal, the florescent light, and the fruits just reminded me of some great street food I've had in exotic locales around the world. Pride Night was fun.
