Yesterday I picked up Kayla and we were off to Center City for an afternoon together. It so happened that Outfest was going on, so we parked at the Ritz East, hoofed it up Walnut and wandered the Gayborhood, all the while shaking our fabulous arses to the phat beats. There were religious protesters there and it kinda ruined it all for me. It's a day of happiness and community and coming together and they shat all over it. Why couldn't they just be nice and shout "Jesus loves you!! No matter what!!!" on their bullhorn, rather than say we would all pay for our sins in the afterlife. So I linked arms with my niece and tried our best to ignore them.
Then we went to Govinda's where we stuffed our gobs with the best vegan chicken cheesesteaks EVER. Next up was a pit stop at Sweet Freedom Bakery for some fabulous vegan desserts. We walked down South Street and headed to Philly Thrift for AIDS, where Kayla now volunteers on Saturday afternoons! Finally we went to a completely vacant Dunkin' Donuts, so Ms. Star could peepod, and wound up sitting on the second floor, looking out the window and talking for hours. Honestly, it was the best part of my day with her. Can't wait til our next outing!
