I agree, it could have used some more marching bands. I was impressed by Meshugga Beach Party though, and there was no shortage of vintage iron, and the explosions and fire eating on the crucible truck were great. Also the little Kung Fu kids were teriffic. The subtly creepy falun gong folks were a little creepy.

I love a parade.

@Stitchopoulis: I'm glad that Alameda lets the Falun Gong people march. Pressure from the Chinese consulate made San Francisco prohibit them in parades over there.

There was a parade in a beighboring town and a couple people called me and asked if I could bring one of the Deuces out.

Yardwork blows.

Nice 4th of July DOTS, Murilee. I hope you are taking time to enjoy America today. Grill up some beers, drink a few baseballs, and play some hamburger.

@Billy Suter:

I have to agree. Engineerd has undoubtedly taken the cake for best July Fourth Comment EVER...!

Some group had loaned the use of several MG TDs plus a black-bumper MGB to some city council members... I was just waiting for one of them to crap out and stall the parade, but they got past my place without incident.

I live on what is kind of a parade route. The Golden Bike Cruise Night rides by my house every month. Lots of cruisers, hipster fixies, tandems, tall bikes, a 30" unicycle, and at least one bendy-bike. This month it was close to 200 people biking down my street.

Wow, you live on the Parade Route! I lived (briefly) in a very small town where that was one of the key advertising features for an apartment I rented: "And it's on the Parade Route!"

Not really an advantage there, as the locals editorialized with occasional gunfire as the parades passed and local vendors judged their customer service efforts by the nature and intensity of the booing and number of thrown objects.

But here--just fade out those new-fangled cars and this could be a shot from the 40's.
