2024: Pouring with Two Hands. Taken at Sidetrack Bar on Halsted south of Roscoe in Chicago.

Let the festivities begin. The DNC starts tomorrow, and today was one of many, many parties and events. This one was hosted by Sidetrack, Equality Illinois, and Chicago's LGBTQ+ elected officials for LGBTQ+ delegates. The Bar was packed, and we knew a lot of people – but pretty much stayed in one area in one room of the bar. There was a short program – and the best of that was hearing from Art Johnston, one of the founders and owners of Sidetrack. He has been an LGBTQ+ activist since I have been in Chicago and back before we said "LGBTQ+"!
