C and i spent Saturday at the annual Fremont Solstice Parade and Pageant. on the Saturday nearest the summer solstice anything (peaceful) goes in Fremont. perhaps most notorious are the naked bicyclists.
we walked down from Ballard and stationed ourselves under the Aurora bridge, where we could just see the troll peeking at us over a rise. we were in the shade for the duration of the parade, which is how i managed to wait too long to put on my sunscreen and get nicely toasted when we went down to Gasworks for the pageant.
there are many more photos on Flickr, but some may not be safe for work or raise some questions from kids.

Ah, man. I hate that we missed the whole thing our first year here. It's definitely going on the mental calendar of Annual Gotta-Do Seattle Stuff. Thanks much for the pics.
