Tonight Alisha, Peter, Steph & Pete & I went to the
parade of lost souls on commercial drive. As you can see, I was a
robot.
Peter was a Wizard.
Alisha was some sort of white trash mechanic.
Steph was a 80's goth-rock princess. And her Pete was a farmer?
It was a ridiculous amount of fun. I was a big hit with the little kids. I must have taken about 100 pictures with little children, and shaken at least 20 little hands (the other 80 were afraid of me).
People were really into the costumes, and there were thousands of people walking the streets. I love it when communities can come together and everyone can participate in an event that is both fun and appropriate for all ages. The respect, consideration and sense of humour people showed was inspiring. It makes me proud to live in this city. It also made me really appreciate the car free streets. I definitely support the idea of a
car-free commercial drive. But I'll leave green politics for another, more serious post.
Later, we met up with
Trent, Francois & Hana. It was a blast. And thankfully the nice police officer didn't arrest either Francois or me. Thanks for the warning kind police officer!
I rate this evening an A+. All the photos are posted
here.
