Yesterday I went to Seattle's Fremont, and while prowling around The Center of the Universe drove past the new Theo Chocolate Factory warehouse (formerly the old Red Hook Brewery) with a sign posted on it about the Fremont Solstice Parade . I parked my car and checked it out. The doors were locked so I peered in the windows beside the doors and saw lots of stuff for the Parade. I amused myself reading the information about the classes for participants of the parade when a guy propped open one side of the door to let in some fresh, sunshiny air. I started chatting with Greg, as he introduced him self, and we started talking about the Parade. Greg invited me in to see what he, Carla and Leslie were working on to get ready for the parade tomorrow, Saturday, June 16 2007.
Greg showed me the "Thirst People " costumes he was working on, Carla was working on papermache masks, and Leslie was sewing cloth for costumes. Greg and I chatted about the parade for awhile and I left them to work on their parade creations. It was really cool to see some of the preparation for the parade, of course, there were no nude "painted cyclists " hanging out in the warehouse, they will appeared on Saturday with all the other fun and wacky parade entertainment!
Deborah, today was a lot of fun...very interesting! Would you believe that the images are stuck in my camera (they're not transfering to my computer)...they are also stuck in my brain!

Hi Rhonda, yes it was a "hoot"! Sorry to hear your images are stuck, bad luck, argh! I just uploaded mine and will be posting about the parade with a few of them tonight. I'll email you a couple I think you'll like too.
