Hey kids,

well damn, the biodiesel truck is not happening. BUT, plan B has been implemented, which is EQUALLy if not MORE enticing. It sure as hell is easier to put together!

A Brazilian band called Oxossi will be playing on a moving float in the parade, and a while ago, while the petroleum idea was still plan A, I was asked if we could join them. I am in the process of confirming that they are still interested, which I'm sure they are. And then I'll tell you.

If not, it's plan C - stilt soccer in the parade! which we could still do along with plan B. We'd have to be sure that we can do a gentle stilt soccer so that we don't kill any toddlers. I am not making sense, I've been working for 11 hours!!

whether we do plan B, C or freaking Z, this information will not change:

Sept. 19, 10:27 AM (10:55 at the latest - last year they did start on time at 11), get yourself to California and University.

I will be there, you may recognize me as one of the tall ones. If you get there after noon - 1ish, you may still catch the tail end of the parade and just hop in wherever. FYI, the end of the parade is the art cars (smoggy but funky). If it's late you could just head over to the festival at Center & MLK, where there will be a lot of great music and stilting fun.

Dress freakily in any fashion. Some sort of stilt covering device would be a good minimum. Think of ways to interact with the crowd - something to toss to people or pull a rabbit out of a hat or just smile or maybe be grumpy. Be ready to dance. Be ready for hot weather - bring water at least. I will try to arrange for a place for us to throw a back pack or whatever so that it can get delivered to the end of the parade at MLK park (Center & MLK).

I plan to leave my car near the festival, and then hitch a ride to the beginning of the parade, because I'm helping to set up some generators & solar panels at the festival. So, if our timing works out, I can give you a ride back to the beginning of the parade.

I like to get to the beginning of the parade a little early to check everyone out, it's complete, insane chaos.

Anyone interested in parade preparations - I'll be working on some stuff this Sunday, and probably a little next Thursday/Friday also.

Hey, anyone going to 9/11 power to the peaceful? I think I'll be there too.

hi muckieha, I sent you a message to ask for details about what you had in mind.

if anyone else wants to do fire, all I know is that the parade will have some fire performers and have some form of permission to do this. I'll contact the organizers to see what the details are.
