chase the light

I’ve been to the Rose Parade a few times and frankly it’s a much better experience on an HD TV in the comfort of your own home. No cold night sitting on the curb, no sleeping whatsoever, no hunger, nobody throwing things at you from their cars, and no trying to drive home after all of those things, and no sleeping the rest of the day. So I stopped going.

Then there’s the Doo Dah parade which is the exact opposite. It would be lousy on TV and you can sleep in and still get a good spot. Like we did! The parade starts at 11:30 and we parked right next to the parade route. We had to sit in the sun for a short time but the last half of the parade the sun swung around and put us in the shade.

I did shoot some HD video so as soon as I get around to bothering buying a hard drive, capturing the tape, and editing the footage, I’ll post it… Don’t wait up.
