Fursuiting Event: 2015 Pasadena Doo Dah Parade
10 years ago
Sunday before Thanksgiving, it'll be time for the "38th Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade" in Southern California! This year it will take place on Sunday the 22nd of November and you're all invited to watch, help, or if you have a fursuit, participate with the rest of us crazies in East Pasadena! So, here's your chance for some local fursuiting fun that began with Thaddeus Fox and Rapid T. Rabbit way back in 1990 . . . 25 years ago - that's a quarter of a century of fursuiters in this parade!
And hey, I have some good news: I can report that for the first time in I don't know how many years, the parade is marshmallow free - YAY! The ban on throwing what should be toasted over a fire and eaten worked. So other than the long held traditional tortillas being flung and a bit of silly string, our paws should be caked in gunk no more.
So here's how to join in on the fun:
1) Simply e-mail me (NOT this list please) at dlely[at]juno.com telling me you'll be there. I will reply with a confirmation giving you more details.
2) Check out the Parade's official web site at http://www.pasadenadoodahparade.info/ for further information, maps, news, history, highlights, and pictures from previous year's parades.
3) Then on Sunday the 22nd of November: meet all of us furry participants no later than 10:00 AM on shady Nina Street between North Altadena Drive and North Vinedo Street (which is just north of East Colorado Boulevard) in beautiful Pasadena California.
4) Pay your $10.00 per person entry fee to me who will then turn over the total loot to the parade organizers (The Light Bringer Project - a nonprofit arts organization based in Pasadena - http://www.lightbringerproject.com).
5) Wait around a little, jump into suit, then join the parade around 11:00 AM and have tons of fun being crazy, out of control, silly, wacky, and zany to thousands of crazy, out of control, silly, wacky and zany spectators lining both sides of East Colorado Boulevard (in the 2500-2600 blocks for you map searchers)!
But wait there's more! After the parade everyfur usually regroups for a chow-down at a popular Pasadena hunting/grazing/watering hole!
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. Hope to see you there!
