Okay, so here’s the info for the Rose Parade. For any MORE information, contact John (ie: NOT me). Also, note that the Rose Parade is on January 2nd, so we’ll be spending the night of the 1st/2nd on the route, NOT the night of the 31st/1st.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD PLACE TO SIT???
If so, let John know ASAP. Call 818.957.8455.

What to bring with you
$5 (or more, if you can spare it) for food/parking
folding lawn chairs & the like
sleeping bags & blankets
tarps & umbrellas in case of rain
any snack foods/drinks you want
musical instruments and/or board/card games
When/Where to meet
Viannah will be out on the route at 8 AM on January 1st reserving a spot for the rest of us. Call her cell sometime that day to find out where we’ll be sitting. Call John ahead of time to get Viannah’s number if you don’t already have it.
Ground rules
1. John’s in charge. What he says, goes.
2. John’s in charge. What he says, goes.
3. No alcohol allowed.
4. Smoking, etc, should be done away from the group.
5. Anyone leaving the “camp” must go in groups of two or more.
6. Let sleeping people sleep. (ZZZZzzzzzz…)
Some things to consider
It’s going to be REALLY cold, so dress accordingly. And if it’s NOT cold, then you can just take off layers. When buying/making snack foods, remember that warm foods are better. It’s going to be COLD. Chips and soda are iffy; ice cream is a no no. There will be no showers, so shower before you arrive and bring deodorant. You’ll probably want to bring a hairbrush too. There are no flush toilets; only porta-potties. If you don’t like porta-potties, you’re going to have to hold it.
More stuff
For a list of attendees, call John. If you want to bring someone else, that’s fine, just let John know. The rules and $5 charge for food/parking applies to them too. If you need a ride, let John know. We have two drivers, but PLEASE try to get your own ride.
Hey Vi, if I recall correctly, you can’t stake out a spot until noon.
That’s true.
