Anyway, I had a terrific time: I walked till my feet hurt, took over a hundred pictures and got a touch of sunburn, making me a genuine redneck. Then I went home and collapsed on the couch. Art car really takes it out of you!
One of the things I most love about the parade, is that people dress to complement their vehicle. It's practically unsporting to not wear something that goes with the car. So it's not just a tribute to what people can do with time, glue, and welding equipment, it's also prime people watching.
And if you can't the parade, check out the art car museum!

I think they're bumblebees?
I don't know what the theme is, but I love how the top of the bumpers are crotcheted and the entire car is actually carved, it looks like paint until you get up close

I missed it this year, and I didn't feel too badly about it because the last year I went, a lot of the same cars rolled by--and a lot of the new ones just seemed like the person didn't even try. Looks like I missed a few good new ones this year, though, which makes me look forward to next year even more!
