Occupy the Rose Parade 2014 - Wednesday, January 1, 2014 7:30am
Plans for the 2014 Rose Parade protest are posted on Facebook:
Occupy the Rose Parade 2014 - Wednesday, January 1, 2014 7:30am
The tradition continues. Occupy groups and friends are working on 3 floats this year. One will be the anti-TPP locomotive, there will be an anti-Big Bank foreclosure themed segment, along with a massive anti-fracking oil rig.
If you would like to help with the floats (build/paint/etc), message Vvlaadd, in order to be connected with the building times and locations. Most of the building will take place in Venice and East LA.
To march with us at the Rose Parade, meet us by Singer Park in Pasadena at 7:30AM. We won't enter the parade until later when the last float passes us yet this point in time is hard to predict so we need to be ready when the moment comes.
Plan on using Metro Rail and get off at the Fillmore station as traffic and parking will be tough.
Float handlers will get to Singer Park with the floats at 5:30AM in order to beat traffic and find parking that is reasonably close to make unloading easier.

She was interested in one that was a parody of B of A, which thankfully she doesn't work at any more. Here's some more pics I'm seeing online. She said she'd send me some too that she took that the media probably didn't show on TV.
Also happy that MSU won today after so many years being away from the game. The last time they even played was when my late father was still a professor there and my mom also worked on the staff there as well in the 80's. Hope he's smiling today at what he saw from up in the clouds today...
