Good to see more painting party pics. I just discovered the Solstice Parade and already it's one of my faves. I've been right-clicking all the pics I can get my hands on. I agree with a few others that have commented that the painting party pics are their favorites, so I hope Klondike won't skip it completely this year (maybe just be more discreet? I think Torre commented that the "in your face" photogs were the problem).
Here are a few decent painting party pics I found on the net that I don't think are already here. I would encourage you guys to please post any more good ones you might have because I certainly can't get enough.
In particular, Klondike you posted a link to a gallery
