It's fall and time for all sorts of unique once a year fun! In less than a week on Sunday the 18th of November (the Sunday before Thanksgiving) the "41st Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade" will be taking place once again in Pasadena and you're all invited to watch, help, or if you have a fursuit, participate with the rest of us crazies. So, here's your chance for some local fursuiting fun that began way back in 1990 with Thaddeus Fox of California and the late 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 further information, maps, news, history, highlights, and pictures from previous year's parades.
3) Join the "Coast-to-Coast Critters" Telegram Chat Group at
https://t.me/CTCCrittersChat for event coordination and information and to ask any questions you might have.
4) Join the "Coast-to-Coast Critters" Telegram Channel
https://t.me/CTCCritters to view photos from last year's Doo Dah Parade.
3) Then on Sunday the 18th 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).
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).
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. Hope to see you there!
