Well, this year will be my first experience at Pride in Phoenix. Well, Pride anywhere, in fact. Given the fact that a well lit gay bar generally makes me hyperventilate, the idea of combining thousands and thousands of gay people in one place basking in the sunlight together seems like a recipe for Adam-Disaster.

Of course the one scenario I hadn't anticipated in which I would go is... work obligations. I technically could've gotten out of it but I think this is one where I honestly am kind of curious if it's not nearly as intimidating in reality as my mental impression of it is, and this is a good solid way to trick my fears into the Off position. (Though gay bars continue to be somewhat vexing in that way.)

Anyhoo, if you're in the neighborhood, come say hi at the amp.az booth sometime between 11 and 2pm or so.
