Since this is topical to New Years in America, I copied it from my thread in the sty:
Floats in the dark. THey smelled so beautiful. This was in Irwindale, there was quite a crowd to see them off on their way to the parade, families who worked on them madly over the past week. Mostly Spanish speaking would cheer and holler. Apples kept falling off, they weren't glued down enough.

They have to stop and fit the bigger ones under the light poles.
THe best float tonight, the K9 training one. A LOT of dog and cat floats, I'm just posting the clearer pictures, I didn't use my fancy camera, they were moving too fast.
Kaiser Permanente, this one is a rather huge float.
Underground Service Alert, a float for the company you call before you dig so you don't bust a gas line. This is my personal favorite GREAT photo since the dog is dozing Carl's Jr in the background.
I think this was a city float, they make those portraits out of seeds!
Sea World, the most hyped float since PETA is boycotting it, they had AT LEAST 14 cops surrounding it. An apple fell off that one too. THe orcas were covered in plastic I think in case people throw shit on it, I hope not. Families work so hard on these floats. I mean I understand boycott's but don't sabotage art. The Orca's might agree.
And finally the float the gay couple are getting married on tomorrow.
Okay I'm off to go bowling.
