Most sordid Pride memory?

"A fountain on Alexander Street was involved, and daylight. Enough said."
Anna Camilleri, curator of Strange Sisters at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (12 Alexander), Friday (June 21)
"Thirty dykes went swimming in the fountain at 55 Maitland. The security guards told us to leave, but they knew they couldn't stop a bunch of naked grrlz, so they gave us 10 minutes."
Princess Evan Smith, youth curator, Fruit Loopz Pride Youth Stage at the Alexander Street Parkette (12 Alexander), Saturday (June 29)
"The girl I was dating at the time was still breaking up with her girlfriend. We spent the day skulking around Church Street trying to avoid her. Definitely not my proudest moment."
Rachel Giese, co-host of Shout, on PrideVision, performs at Cheap Queers, the Vatikan (1032 Queen West), Thursday (June 27)
"I went to Pride as the Silver Surfer (we were all superheroes that year) and I got attacked by a swarm of seagulls because I was too shiny. I guess that wasn't sordid -- just dirty."
Ivan E. Coyote reads from One Man's Trash at Tallulah's Cabaret (12 Alexander), Wednesday (June 26)
"My Pride is usually pretty tame, since I have an inability to have fun with large groups unless I'm up onstage."
Mariko Tamaki, at Strange Sisters with Pretty, Porky and Pissed Off, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Friday (June 21)
"I took off my shirt and someone started singing I Won't Survive."
Greg Kearney, at Cheap Queers, the Vatikan, Wednesday (June 26)
