The first time we did the parade was 2002. I should know, I organized it. There was, indeed, a lot of drama and opposition to our being in the parade, and especially to our using the word “furry”. I have all the emails beginning in 2001 on both BAF and the furrypride mailing list that we used to organize, if anyone is ever interested in seeing all the fun and all the controversy. I also have all the registration and other official material from 2002. That picture above is from 2003, our second year, when Bos’n and I co-organized the contingent. He is standing on the street in front of the truck and I am on the truck in the black puppy fursuit. I’m not sure how these years and stories have gotten so mixed up, but hey I’m here to set it straight (so to speak).
