One week until InterPride 2006!

Next Thursday I will be flying to Portland, Maine for the InterPride 2006 World conference. I am SO excited! Besides being able to learn all of the ins-and-outs of planning and promoting a successful Pride event, I will get to network and socialize with more than 200 Pride planners from over 50 organizations around the world. Here is a partial list from http://www.ip2006.org/
