Save your skin

Let's start with the basics. You may be enjoying that barbecued chicken on a stick under the sun, but all the while your skin's getting grilled too. Why not give it a little present with Nivea All Around Protection Lotion ($9)? It's oil-free all-day SPF-15 love for your sensitive skin.

Come find me

There's more than one way around the "sea of tents" syndrome that plagues all lost pride-goers. Techies can use the help of the Garmin GPSMAP 60 ($321), a handheld device that gives your location on an easy-to-decipher map. (So that's where the dance tent is.)

Check the hottie. Over

Plan ahead and get a pair of Motorola Talkabout T5500R two-way radios ($66) so you can keep a radio tether tether

to tie an animal up by the head or neck so that it can graze but not move away. See also barton tether.

I love a parade

As long as I can be seated. The Crazy Creek SlingLite Chair ($45), unfolds to give instant relief from headrest to toe.

Let your toes out

Normally, flip-flops and fleets of stomping feet don't go well together, but it's just hard to say no to Penguin's Flip-Flops ($38), with suede to caress tired feet and funky colors to perk up tired eyes.

Bag it, babe

Don't forget that you'll need something to carry all your post-pride parade merch. Try the Jack Spade Coal Bag ($98), a simple solution from Mr. Kate. While best known for simple travel and shoulder bags, Jack Spade puts out a great line of carryall utility bags.

Last but not least, don't forget Hearos Earplugs ($3)--because sometimes there is such a thing as too much folk music.
