2007...........And so the year began...... Rob & Dave (brother of Rob) wake up anticipating a kick butt parade up Broad Street on another January 1st.
But it was not to be..... PARADE CANCELLED - RAIN.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What to do, what to do...........
Heck, do what we always do ...have a beer, find an OLD costume, put on panty hose, wig, satin wench costume, grease paint and ....party on......
Problem is..... Dave has to fly back to LA on Jan 2 at 7:00am....... ok....let's drink fast.....
and FIND us a party......
Bro found himself a Genie.......
I only found a Coors Lite
No problemo.......... the real parade goes off a week later with 70+ degree weather (Ouch..it's HOT)
The 'theme' are tropical fish.... so I tropicaled (cool word, eh?) out my face.
Always make friends with the bartenders.......the Blackberry brandy's are free......
Don't forget the wifey..... she's driving,,,,
And never forget to 'Tag" the wife with war paint. It's easier to sort out the women after the parade, so you take the right one home.
Make sure you have at least one photo with another Mummer to prove you were in fact IN the parade and not just in an "alternative lifestyle soiree".
And of course, seek out the Celebrity Queen to make sure her assets are real before passing her onto your Mortgage Broker :^)
Another year passes..... another successful parade...... another retirement from 'Struttin' 'round City Hall'......
and SEE YOU NEXT YEAR on Broad Street.
Yo Philly.

Rob.... I actually went down this year, first time ever... yea, yea, yea... but we actually went down around 7 pm, when it was nearing its end. But we were down in the middle of the action and the party's and where some of the clubs homes were. Yes, it was very warm.... but a neat site to see and the people for the most part behaved.... but I would have hated to been the one cleaning those streets... ;o)
We should have been in touch....
