[...] It is the antidote to the (sometimes nauseatingly wholesome) Rose Parade that takes place at New Year’s, or the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Here is what I said in a blog post last year: [...]

[...] Here are some things that you won’t see in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parades that will be all over the news (including outside the USA) tomorrow. These are from the wonderful Doo Dah parade I told you about earlier. [...]

Ok…. you’re in!

I was thinking of a float with just a bunch of “scientists at work”….so just bring whatever you’re working on with whoever you’re working with and we set up a bunch of blackboards on the back of a big truck and just talk and collaborate…drink coffee, whatever….. all wearing white lab coats? Maybe even had a lab bench or two with real experiments…..

If you need scientists for the parade idea, count me in!

Caolionn,

There are so many things going on! Have to pick and choose. Will give you a shout from time to time (send me an email so I don’t have to use a blog post to do it!)….maybe see you guys at some of them? See you (and maybe other Caltech folks?) on the roadside tomorrow I hope.

Cheers,

What? A Doo Dah Parade? Do I live in a bubble? I frickin’ live here and I have never heard of the Doo Dah Parade. Thanks for the head’s up, I might be seeing you there.

And, Clifford, if you got any other info on the goings on in my backyard, please share. It seems I’m a bit oblivious.

Clifford, you really should approach some financial interests with that float idea. Somebody in the greater LA region would/should be interested in demonstrating the great value of the science that is brought into the world through students and research at all these great SoCal universities and colleges.

Ah, the Doo Dah…
Caltech students had a “Star Wars” entry in the 1987 parade.
I marched, we were right ahead of the synchronised briefcase squad.
Excellent.
I discovered that Pasadena Police do have a sense of humour.

In Columbus, we do the Doo Dah Parade on July 4th… always a good time. November would be way the hell too cold.
