This group has registered with the Downtown Lexington Corporation and paid the entry fee so anyone who wants to participate on a bike is more than welcome.

Bring your bike decorated or come early to decorate your bike and help with various floats.

Copied from the other non-sticky thread:

The build space will be at 333 Midland Place.

Note: if you are coming from Midland Ave or 3rd, you have to enter via Nelson (see red line on map).

Note #2: at some point Midland Ave will be closed to traffic to allow parade participants to line up, but that probably won't be until mid afternoon, like 3-ish.

all they'll have is noise!

the bike armada is sure to be filled with creativity and randomness and hopefully Alex will be out to show off his mastery of the tall bike!

"i have to work" = alex is scared of motorcycles.

"going to work" is actually a euphemism for my paid visits to your mom & little sister

I knew they were desperate, but paying for it from you? Wow.
(ps, that was my younger brother, he has long hair and a small adam's apple)

The motorcycle dudes were cool. They were all thumbs up when we rolled past. I got high fives from a few. They dug the Jingle Punx.

The parade was a damn good time. Thanks to everyone who came out and rode, decorated, wrapped, tied, danced, etc.!
