The festive season started today at 10am EST down Broad... Our first repeat event of Year 2 Stateside and the fabulous Dave once again held our curb-side spot, so we could leisurely wander in with coffee.
It's a truly crazy concoction of Richmond folk from energetic Bolivians, fully-feathered Native Americans, calming Falun Gong meditators, sinister Star Wars' storm troopers and the Shriners - Masons with fez and tiny cars!!!
The highlight was definitely the Norfolk State Band's take on Earth Wind and Fire classics, plus watching the giant inflatables pitching under the traffic lights.As with the world over there were plenty of bored teenagers shuffling along, mal-coordinated kids and massive sponsorship logos. Everyone behaved and we wore T-shirts in the December sun.
