1 - Three hours is TOO LONG for a local parade. I don't even think the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade lasts this long.
2 - Less politicians and the parade won't be 3 hours.
And 3 - Now that I've seen it once, I won't need to see it again.
But here are some pics I took:
Presentation of the colors.
Pipers. Strangely enough I like bagpipe music. But everytime I see bagpipers I think of that scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer where there's a piper playing and the guy faints and the dad makes the announcement "There's a piper down, a piper down."
I like the Boeing Employees. I thought their little planes were cute.
Condom Statue of Liberty. I don't know why but I found this amusing.
The Seafair Pirates. They aren't necessarily the gays. And according to the guys in the chairs in front of me it was a big deal they were there. Like now the parade has 'made it.'
Synchronized book trucks. The library has a group that does this. I don't know why but it seems like fun. We never had that kind of fun when I worked at UAF's library. (Although we did have book truck races, hey we were 3 floors UNDERGROUND who knew we were down there?)
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They scare me a tiny bit, but they do good work in the community.
"Help me Obi Wan Penobi, you're my only hope."
Of the like 4 or 5 real floats there, I thought this one was the best. I especially liked the fireworks! :)
