Live from the Boulevard

My parade route live blogging with Ms. Vanity will commence shortly, once I've uploaded the pictures to the Interwebs and downloaded some more grappa and cocktails.

UPDATED: No really, that can wait til morning.

In the meantime, here's something. Not quite sure what to make of it yet, will read it again in the morning:

Pasadena- Victims of China’s human rights violations and human rights groups who had protested the inclusion of a float representing the Peoples Republic of China in the 2008 Rose Parade announce today their intention to sue the City of Pasadena, various public officials and private individuals for violation of their civil rights. We intend to show that these agencies and individuals acted in concert to unlawfully prevent the issuance of a city permit to us for a demonstration against China’s continuing abuse of basic human rights.
