Thirty years ago in the city of Beans, the Man wished to put a highway right through the middle of town. He cleared the way, He was given the ok; and then one day the people said, “Stop! Whadda think you’re doing? We don’t want a Highway, those are no fun for no body. What we want is a Subway, whaddya say?” the Man thought about it and eventually said ok. To celebrate (or protest, I’m not sure which) some funky cats of the “think global act local” persuasion had a party. A big party. An environmentally conscious party they called Wake up the Earth.
30 years later it’s still going strong. There’ll be puppets and music of many different types (Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band is a particular favorite) food and activities for all ages.
This all happens today, parade starting @ 10ish, if it doesn’t get rained out.
If you find yourself not in the Plain of Jamaica today, well, there’s always horses… or the wearing of silly hats.
Have a mint julep for me, please.
