Rose Parade, part 1

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope it was a great one. I spent mine up in Pasadena, helping out with the Rose Parade. On Saturday I worked on the Star Wars floats, and then on Sunday and Monday I was part of the dressing crew, along with Debby and Tree, for the queens on the Naboo float.

I started typing up an entry about the weekend, but so much happened that it'll be a million pages long if I do it all at once. So for now, here's Saturday, with accompanying photos taken by miana_dude because my camera's battery died. (I'm the one in the purple sweatshirt. But maybe I shouldn't tell you that, cause I look like crap in these photos. Float decorating is hard work!)

Rose Parade, part 2

Here's Day 2 of the ongoing saga! Only one more to go. I still have no pictures, but you can check out Rachel's photos of the day here.

( Sunday-- dress rehearsal, float judging, parade practice, and New Year's Eve dinner )

ETA: Y'all, scendan has a fabulous video of the Grambling/501st/Rebels/everything-but-the-floats-practice here. You can see the band doing their awesome dance that barely made it onto TV at all!
