Reston Pride Festival 2025

 After the theater, I stopped by Reston Pride Festival 2025, to check out the event. I like this type of events for the colors and laid-back vibe. However, I haven't visited one for a long time, since most of them are on Saturdays (my hike days). Guess who I saw? A hiker who was selling his book there! You can find more info online about his book "Just Love Me for Who I Am: An Open Letter to Parents of Transgender Children".

Chicago the Musical

 

I went in Capital One Hall to usher for Chicago the Musical. The AC was so cold that some patrons asked me for blankets. LOL

In terms of the musical itself, I was a little disappointed by the over-simplified cartoon-like story line: Roxie Hart, a 1920s housewife, and Velma Kelly, a fading star, who were both accused of murder and hired Billy Flynn, a slick criminal lawyer to explore the corrupted media and justice system in Chicago.
