Around Town, Tuesday
Sparkle had spent most of yesterday swearing, because did you know how difficult it was to make a properly rainbow poster for Pride when you couldn't tell blue from green from brown? Was that yellow or a very, very light pink? Maybe it was a pastel teal?
For the most part he was actually kind of tickled about the greyscale situation. It was vintage, it was kinda classy. It was going to make amazing black and white photos of things without him having to spend money on special film or whatever. But while making a rainbow stinking poster? Yeah, not quite so much. So he'd settled on the other Fandom staple for poster making, thankful that even grey glitter was still glittery glitter, and just liberally sprinkled it all over the big swooshy text that said PRIDE across the top.
THE THIRD ANNUAL FANDOM
This Saturday, June 29th
Parade in the morning, followed by a picnic in the park
No matter who you are or how you love, you are INCREDIBLE!
Come join us on Saturday for a celebration of identity, an affirmation of our right to BE, and a defiant reminder to the world that we aren't going anywhere.
BE YOUR OWN SELF!
... And then he'd stapled little envelopes to the bottom of each poster, containing pamphlets explaining the history of Pride, an explanation of the flags and different identities, and a map of the parade route, starting at the Causeway. From there it would follow Griffin Lane to Galactica Drive, Serendipity Place, Godiva Street, back onto Serendipity and following it until it turned into Loon and Loon turned into Chimera. Then one final turn onto Apocalypse before ending up at the Park for the picnic. He'd wrapped it all up with the smaller, fiddlier details, like times and meeting places and how to contribute a booth to the picnic, and his contact information if anybody had any further questions.
And so help him, he managed to do it all in black and white.
Beware of stray glitter, though. He'd used a lot to compensate for his inability to scribble rainbows on these things in marker.
[OOC: Open if you want to see the posters or bump into Sparkle while he's hanging them up around town!
