WHERE WERE THE CANDIDATES?
Where are all the Democrats? I watched the 25th-anniversary
Pride Parade in amazement that only one Houston
candidate for mayor showed up and participated.
Sylvester Turner was the only candidate who actually
rode in the parade. Is he our local version of
Howard Dean?
Are Democrats afraid to show their true colors?
Our community deserves better than that. In fact,
we must make sure that we get better than that.
Yes, we lost the governor’s race last year
and the domestic benefits-related Proposition
2 the year before that; but certainly our candidates
aren’t running scared from what and who
they are. Or are they?

GIVE HER MORE DARYL MOORE
I’m an irregular reader in many respects
(ask my friends, my irregularities are multi-layered
and variously realmed). I read your publication
online only to see what Daryl Moore is up to now—how
well his synapses are firing and if he’s
been on a rant in front of the late news or just
in a private trance (alleging that someone is
starting a fight with him in his own head)….
I did want to write in to say that I particularly
liked his piece on the terror alert system [LeftOut,
May]….

Thank you very much for a super, super, super
article regarding the adventure club [LookOut,
July]. Your write-up was the first time the club/me
made print, and I am elated about it. This being
my first trip, I am a little nervous and hope
it all turns out well. I hope I didn’t forget
anything important! Thank you very much again.

Scotland Yard Adventure Club.
Thank you for the great spread [“Capitol
Day,” July]. I love it.

for Our Families, photographed by Yvonne Feece.
Just wanted you to know that we have received
many compliments on the OutSmart article [“True
Colors,” June] and just wanted to thank
you again for a job well done. David [Lewis] sure
is good at his photography. Tell him that we just
tell everyone it was in the eye of the photographer
that captured that!
