Hey everyone, here are the details!

We've been given a spot in the parade towards the end of the parade, just in front of the art cars.

Our designated starting point is at 2229 California, several blocks from University. We'll get there at about 9am to get the band's sound check done. You should get there early enough to be ready to go at 11am. You can probably find something near by to get stilted up on - perhaps on our truck. The parade starts at 11am, but since we're at the back, we'll start moving a little later. The truck will have biodiesel signs on it.

The art cars line up on a different street at the beginning of the parade - so don't confuse yourself by looking for us near the art cars before the parade starts.

We should have some space on the trailer that is attached to the truck to carry your stuff.

Don't forget to take water and dress freakily!

The Brazilian band Loxossi is not in the parade because they had way too many people to get onto a float - but they'll be playing at the festival. The band on the truck will be playing funk music. We could start there and wander around however we like.

See you there!

        Howdy freaks,

        Things are coming together. Wolfie, Valentina, Ajax and I will be stilting, other assorted freaks will be there, too.

        Again, we're meeting at 2229 California, south of University on a biodiesel truck. Ideal time to arrive is 10-10:30, but if you like cutting it close, be ready to go at 11.

        Anyone who wants to help get our shit together on Saturday afternoon is welcome to come by. We'll be doing this at my boyfriend's house on 7th street between Virginia and Cedar in Berkeley, about 4 blocks or so north of University. Give me a call on my cell 851-0290 for more details.

          PS the oil worshipping thing MAY happen. I'm picking up an old metal barrel today that can serve as our altar. If we have spare people to turn it into an altar (like sticking a crucifix on it, oh the perversion!), we'll be good to go.
