This is Part One. More posts follow tomorrow.
Originally the Doo Dah parade was a send-up of Pasadena’s famed Rose Parade. And it is still that and a lot more! This year the parade was dedicated to one of the parade’s founders, Scott Finnell, aka Snotty Scotty, who passed away this year. (The world has lost so many in the last 12 months: Bowie, Prince, and more recently Leon Russell, Mose Allison…no. I’ll stop there and get back to the fun and silly Doo Dah parade.)
When I tried to decide how to organize all the photos I realized that disorganized was the best way. The parade runs along one lane of Colorado Blvd. and then turns around and comes back in the other lane, which means photographers and spectators get at least two chaotic viewings of each entry. And some entrants circled around for more than a second time.
If you are interested in being part of a future Doo Dah parade go to this website. It only costs $10 per person to enter!
So here goes:
