This website was setup in early 2007, to help herald the return of having a pride festival in North County, and was alot of fun doing. In the process, it showed how difficult it can be to try and bring so many groups together. Prop 8 showed we can work together, but since then, alot of the groups have separated once again. In time, I fully desire to see all groups, not just gay & lesbian, but all groups work together more closely to form a more cohesive society.

Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful 2009, and hope life treats you as good as possible.

Most of you have not heard from the meister behind North County Pride 2007 in some time, and for me, it's been a case of working to restore myself back into society. Along the way, have been knocked down plenty of times (and some of that evidence has been on this site at times), but as the song goes, "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you cannot keep me down", but my favorite mantra, is the saying from the "Meet the Robinsons" Disney movie, "Keep Moving Forward".

Here's some quick reminders of some of the fun that has gone on in the last couple of years.

Tug-o-War at the 2007 pride.

It pitted Escondido/San Marcos -vs- Vista & Oceanside (plus outsiders at the shorter line)

We did this twice, so everyone won!
