Pasadena Doo Dah Parade Madness is Back Once Again!
It's fall, it's November, so it's almost time for the "39th Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade" in Southern California. This year it will take place on Sunday the 20th of November (the Sunday before Thanksgiving) and you're all invited to watch, help, or if you have a fursuit, participate with the rest of us crazies in East Pasadena. So, here's your chance for some local fursuiting fun that began way back in 1990 with Thaddeus Fox of California and Rapid T. Rabbit of New York who walked under the banner "Coast-to-Coast Furries" (now "Coast-to-Coast Critters").
So here's how to join in on the fun:
1) Simply e-mail me (NOT this list please) at dlely@juno.com telling me you'll be there. I will reply with a confirmation giving you more details.
2) Check out the Parade's official web site at http://www.pasadenadoodahparade.info/ for additional information, social media links, maps, news, history, highlights, and pictures from previous year's parades.
3) Then on Sunday the 20th of November: meet all of us furry participants no later than 10:00 AM on shady Nina Street between North Altadena Drive and North Vinedo Street (which is just north of East Colorado Boulevard) in beautiful Pasadena California.
4) Pay your $10.00 per person entry fee to me who will then turn over the total loot to the parade organizers (the Light Bringer Project - a nonprofit arts organization based in Pasadena - http://www.lightbringerproject.com). Do not mail in the entry form or your entry fee to the parade organizers, as I will be handling that.
5) Wait around a little, jump into suit, then join the parade around 11:00 AM and have tons of fun being crazy, out of control, silly, wacky, and zany to thousands of crazy, out of control, silly, wacky and zany spectators lining both sides of East Colorado Boulevard (in the 2500-2600 blocks) near the Denny's at 2627 East Colorado Boulevard.
But wait there's more! After the parade everyfur usually regroups for a chow-down at a popular Pasadena hunting/grazing/watering hole.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment here. Hope to see you there!
