It will be my first event like this or like the WNBR but I am waiting already the whole year for it.
What tips do you have for me as a newcomer?
Where do the people get painted?
Where is the best place for taking pictures?
How to get painted my self?
Where do I find a bike on short notice?
Thanks for you help!

My advice is to touch base with the cyclists through their website and attend the painting party before the parade.
Many cyclists who ride in the parade are not part of the group that paints for the event. They just show up. All are welcome.
It is easy to photograph the parade along the route although this year the ride will be shorter than in the past as the cyclists will not loop around several times.
The best bet for photos is to attend the post-parade party in Gasworks Park at the end of the parade route.
Rental bikes are easy too find. Have a good time. I hope to be in Seattle myself.
