Division parade 2018

Here are some pics my bike took at the Division street parade. It was a blast. Olive Rootbeer got some good photos too.

This year Olive Rootbeer took a spill on the road. 
It's very rare that that happens but parades bring out our A game and that means taking more risks. 
Don't worry, she got fixed up real good at the end of the parade. 
Mad props to feirce Olive for still doing a great job and riding it out to the end. :)
They are faking the sad faces, we didn't get paid for this gig but they did kick us down coffee, chocolate bars and coupons for waffles. :)


The start:
Another lovely morning in SE Portland. We have been in this parade many times but this is the first time we actually live in the neighborhood.


looking for friends. The Sprockettes were here woohoo.
Not as many exhibits as in years past. We speculate that it's because so many artists who used to pitch in cannot afford to live in Portland any longer.
Bunch of folks missing.


                                           Getting our marching orders.

                                             Staging


                                         Almost time to fly!




Olive is groovy




















                                          Here is where she fell. Bummer. I was helpless to help. The folks behind                                        us were very kind to wait.






















Road rash!







That was a blast. We offered to help gather more acts for next year. If you are into it and have sometim=ng to offer the parade drop us a line of contact them. 
We had a blast being in the parade, hearing the crowds chant our names ever block and visiting with people at the end.
Good times!
