The day dawned bright, clear and cool – perfect weather for a parade! Getting the six-piece band and all their gear on board and working was, er, fun. Then we had to find room for two dancers!
Jeff and Denny getting ready to rock the city.
Before the official parade – the famous naked cyclist invasion! 480 body painted wobbly bits and chafed thighs zipped past us – some beautiful, some less so but all eye-opening (and happy)!
Finally, it was our turn to hit the street. Bart and I (plus six other hardy souls) were pushing, the band cranked it up to 11 and Karen was shaking her booty out front.
Getting tired about halfway through but the crowd (about 100,000 strong) really kept us going.
Here’s a good view from above, near the end.
And this is our artist and break dancer Gil enjoying the fun
If you want to see other pictures of the parade, the Seattle P-I has a good gallery here. Then it was beers and the sad process of tearing the float down again for next year.
