For the first time, an LGBT band will be participating in a presidential Inaugural Parade.* Blogger Mike Rogers of PageOneQ is organizing a blog action this weekend in support of the band, who must, like others, pay their own way to DC. Please consider making a donation to the band and/or posting about this effort on your blogs.
You may use any of the beautiful banners produced by Mike Tidmus, if you like. Please link them to:

(By using the TinyURL, they will be able to track how many donations came from this blogger effort.)
If helping the band isn’t itself good enough, send the link to your post to mrogers@p1nm.com and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate.
(*Journalist Lisa Keen notes in Bay Windows, however, that the L&G Band was invited in 1993 by the Clinton Inaugural Committee, but performed on the side of the parade route, not in the parade itself.)
