I would like to see the Rose Parade in person someday.

I went to two while I was in college. To get a good seat, you pretty much have to camp out the night before. A lot of fun at the time, but now, I’d have to take a pass. On a bright sunny day, the heat makes you forget the chill of the night before, until you find yourself thinking about how hot it is. If it’s a cool, cloudy day, not much fun at all.

Hmm, sounds challenging.
I guess HDTV is the answer.

You don’t have to stay out all night to see the Rose Parade. Go to the last couple blocks of the parade route, at around 7:30 am. Park on a side street. About 8 AM in the morning, people are allowed to move off the sidewalk and into the street, up to the painted blue line. When that happens, step behind the people who just moved and occupy their old spot on the curb. Bring a folding chair, have a seat, and you will have a very nice view of the parade, looking over their heads.

But obviously not this year.
