Yes, I survived! 

Well, that was a given. This year's theme for the Pride Parade was Color Our World with Pride. I'm not sure if people actually pay attention to the theme but either way, the streets were definitely covered with color. 

I had no idea what to expect but I had a really fun time. I wish I had more photos but I decided not to bring my camera due to safety issues so I had to rely on my iPhone. Too bad I'm really short so I basically have two photos of the parade that I took on my tippy toes. 

Later in the evening, after the celebration, I found out Big Boo (Lea DeLaria) and Pennsatucky (Taryn Manning) from Orange is The New Black made an appearance. (Did you guys know Taryn sings?) Bummed I missed them but it's OK. 

Arielle (Oakland native!) is the next best thing. Last season's Real World was the only one I watched religiously just because it was taking place in San Francisco. Oh, and to those who wondered. I didn't get to see Ross Matthews. 

There were so many things going on that I missed throughout the day but next year, I'll know better. 

Quick Funny Story: I lost my sunglasses on the dance floor and right when I realized it, I looked up and I saw a complete stranger wear them. I knew they were mine so I told my friend to ask if they found it on the floor. Yep, they did. So, I awkwardly had to ask for them back. While she was wearing them. Highlight of my day.
