Austin Gay Pride Festival 2009

For the last few years, I've attended the Austin Gay Pride Festival, and today I continued my tradition. This is one of the most interesting public events in Austin for the year.


This features footage of performances by the Austin Baptist Women, and the band Grrlz will be Boiz.

The ending of this video is priceless. I mean the guitar, not our band. I loved having those guitars all over the city and I miss them. Thank you so much for covering the festival and for all the camera time you gave us. We had no idea this was out there. And thanks for your support of the community! Despite my little bout of heat exhaustion after that set, we had a blast! ~Sam

GrrlzwillbeBoizATX - Thank you! I totally didn't do this video very well in editing or camerawork though. I didn't want to get too much video of you or the other acts because I didn't talk to you first about it. So I would've gotten much more and better footage if I had been more bold.

Yall rock! I'd love to tape a full show of yours at a club in Austin some night. If you'll let me. I do much better work usually.

GrrlzwillbeBoiz rocks!

By the way, those oversized guitar sculptures still exist in certain areas. Some bars, clubs and other businesses seem to have bought them, and display them individually now. It's tough to find them though. You have to stumble upon them, like I did.

please, keep the camera still.

Really, I totally agree. I need a steady cam. Help!

haha im in this video. i'm standing in the crowd at the roller derby arm wrestling table. maybe you saw us. was there with a group of girls and we all had self made politically motivated shirts. mine said "i am a victim of h8" my gf's said "if you can vote on my rights, can i vote you your religion". we had an amazing time that day.

silliness. i mean really... there are so many more pressing issues in the world. why waste the money on expressing your homosexuality when you could be helping to feed a starving child in africa or something! nobody cares that you're gay except wbt and other hate groups. fine, you're gay. fucking get over yourselves

No Westboro Baptist church spreading their Christian message of love?

Nice coverage, man.

I loved your speech at 6:15. It's nice to have support outside the community as well as inside.

Proud to be an atheist and genderqueer. Thanks for this video.

Nice coverage!

This looks like fun. Wish I had been there.

I so much want to see GWBB live.

Soon, I hope.

Thanks for this video.

The Society of Edmonton Atheists will be attending Edmonton's Gay Pride Parade on Saturday, June 13.

Silly question but can you tell me where that one in particular was. It's pretty and honestly I don't remember seeing it before. Of course there were a lot of them. Oh and our next show in Austin is at Headhunters. Stuck in a corner in the dark, might not work for cameras, but I can talk to the girls and we'll work something out with you through messages.

I'm falling over laughing and my bassist is asking if I made another YouTube account. I'm not a fan of house music either. lol. To each his/her own I guess.

[sarabinxx]

lol I CANT believe i missed the Parade

Does anyone know of anything else going on this month with PRIDE ? ( Here in Austin)
