Okay, I used the search function here and couldn't find any actual details. Will everyone with details post them here so we can make this happen in style?

Here's what I know:

2012 Twin Cities Pride is Sunday,June 24, 2012. It steps off at 11:00 a.m.SHARP from the corner of 3rd Street South and Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis.

Someone is making a rainbow flag with a dark cloud on it, but may need help sewing (I can help there, or do it all if necessary, but need to know where that's at)

We need to know this: Have we registered? If not, "Registration for the 2012 Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade is now on a wait-list only basis." per the official website.
This would be good to know, otherwise we'll have to be a non-parade presence.

Okay, so someone who actually knows about this, fill us in!

Yes. Kristen's taken care of this and has fronted the money and we're off the waiting list.

Also: I'm in touch with the team about getting some players/coaches out to support this. I think Andy's been a little preoccupied with all the soccer he's been playing, which I support, but I think we'll get some players out too.

Also, also: If you can start your own rainbow flag from the ground up, that'd be the best. The more we have, the better.

Has anyone contacted the TC Jacks, the local GLBT soccer group?

Given that I know pretty much zero about the plans that have been currently formulated... I'm not sure I'd be the best choice.

"Hi, I'm from the DCs... contacting you about Pride... oh, I don't know what we're doing, but I'm contacting you!"

:P

For those that only saw this here, the DCs in the Pride parade is off. Logistics &c. Working on participation for next year.

Disappointing to hear, but already excited for next year. We could always move it up to the parade in Superior early September. (kidding)

bummer. I had very little information, but thought we were registered to be in the parade and was looking forward to it. If we were low on participation, maybe sharing more information with more people would have helped... smile
