May Day 2009

Went to see Jason and Gaea in the May Day parade. It was a beautiful day, and I rode up on the light rail, then walked over to the parade route. As Jason told me, it wasn't hard to find them. It's easy to spot 15-foot long stilting pigs.

Gaea and her mom are in the pig in front, and Jason's job is to make sure they have space, since they can't see very well. Gaea controls the pig's tongue, too.


Here are the stilters at the end of the parade.

Afterwards, I walked all around Powderhorn Lake, and finally back to the light rail. So I got a bit of exercise...
