Moonshine Luv Shack
A funky looking vehicle came rambling down East Main Street during the Southern Oregon Pride Parade. Today’s top photo is from the front of what was labeled the “Moonshine Luv Shack” (a machine that has apparently made numerous appearances at Burning Man as well).
Here we have the side view…
And finally the scene on the back end, complete with rainbow flags and rainbow wings.

Much of the SOPride Parade was made up of religious groups. I think every non-right-wing church in town had an entry. Although those congregations helped make the parade last for more than just a few minutes, they really weren’t the interesting portions of the parade. Hence, my photos will almost exclusively be of the other participants.

SOPride Parade Week
Southern Oregon Pride Parade
Today was the (Second Annual?) SOPride Parade through downtown Ashland. I only found out about it as I happened to be downtown earlier in the day and the streets were being blocked off. Apparently this is going to be another Ashland parade (on the first Saturday of October) to go along with the others (4th of July, Halloween, and Festival of Light). Ashland has the perfect layout to be a parade town.

I have a little over 20 decent images from the parade which I will post over the next week.
Dykes on Bikes
Like the San Francisco Gay Parade (now called the San Francisco Pride Parade), Dykes on Bikes led the parade down Main Street.
