The event was surprisingly good! I am still going to make fun of it a bit for the 'night market' name because, well:

This is not me being cheeky and snapping as pic right when it opened, it's from halfway through. I didn't realize at first it ran from 6-9. The venue was great. It was the patio of a hotel and people spilled into the lobby, bar and restaurant. People were very chill and social. It was one of my better times at an event.
Most of the vendors were actually artists, which was a surprise. I didn't know they knew how to source actual artists, especially smaller ones. They had ones that I hadn't seen at any of the other events I went to, and I go to a lot of events. Really good line up. Honestly, I was impressed. Really wish it wasn't such a surprise that a Pride event was so nice and also social.
Anyway, the loot:



The back looks a bit silly up close like this, but it looks nice sitting on my counter:

He also had a lot of more explicit ones and a one with cowboys I almost bought. Some of the jockstrap ones were really well done. But I am always a sucker for relaxed intimacy, closeness, etc, because I rarely see it depicted so I needed this one for the two guys sleeping.
Even though I skip the main Pride weekend, I had been thinking about it. This actually being a good warm up event would have me seriously reconsidering, but I just checked and it's when I should be in Neskowin. Even though my neck, shoulders and chest are *still* red from the FoPo event like 3 weeks ago, I am still planning on heading out to the coast.

It's great that an event was... good! (Even if... yeah, more of a "pleasant summer evening market" than a "night market", lol.)
