In case anyone didn't know it's Fremont Solstice Parade this Saturday. there is usually something interesting going on with the Solstice Pageant that take place in Gasworks Park after the Parade. noon-2pm or so???
so If anyone is planning on showing up to Gasworks, I live next door in the Marina. give me a ring/tweet/email/chat if you want to hook up. since Julia has been out sick we'll probably miss the Parade but catch the Pageant since it's just next door. -Larry 206-905-9591 On Jun 18, 9:16 am, Lion Kimbro <[email protected]> wrote: > SATURDAY HOUSE! > > TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS (and some questions...): > > I.
