Scenes from the Doo Dah Parade

From the 30th annual Pasadena Doo Dah Parade last Sunday. A fine showing by the StandUp Academy Marching Grouchos Troop.


It was rough hanging around for about 3 hours before the parade started, but it was a blast once we got going. We had taken up a position near the back of the line, so we actually saw some of the folks at the front of the parade going back to their cars before we started moving.

The Orange County chapter of NORML was right in front of us, along with the Highland Park Supper Club, who had all taken electronic kids' toys (like Speak-n-Spells and toy guitars) and rewired and customized them with effects switches so that they were all making a crazy cacaphony. Behind us was a young guy who was running for mayor. Here's the Li'l Angels Pug Rescue, hanging out in the park:


PUGS!!! I took some pictures also of the Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin's procession, but they have disapeared mysteriously. They had a customized hearse with "Arlington Cemetary or Bust" on the back, big posters of Lee Marvin with BSOL written on them in what seemed to be a parody of the TSOL logo, and they were all dressed like cowboys.

I did get a photo of the Raelian flying saucer, though:

Ok, we had to wait around for 3 hours, but at least we weren't on stilts like this poor girl!
