Parades and workplaces

womzillaMark Evanier has an amusing short post about the Macy's Day Parade, which someday he intends to watch live from a window overlooking it.
This reminds me of the 1990s. Crossover Technologies had its offices on Fifth Avenue, with a good view of the street. (Unplugged Games had the same offices.) I worked pretty long hours for Crossover, including a moderate number of Saturdays and Sundays. Purely by coincidence, I happened to be in the office on the Saturday afternoon of Gay Pride Weekend every year for about seven years in a row. And every damn year, I was surprised by the sound of marching lesbians. "What's that roar? Oh, it's the lesbians." Great fun, and just not the kind of thing you get to say in Durham.
I miss Crossover, and I miss Unplugged Mark 1. And I'm getting impatient waiting for the Blue Fairy to come and make Unplugged Mark 2 as real as a real boy. But I'll always have the lesbians.
