I know you said not to quote you,
, but there was at least one guy, plus two streakers. (Also, if you got a view of her from behind, you'd see she had sort of a denim pocket painted on her butt. I have no idea what she was going for, but more power to her.)
I dreadfully apologize to anyone who feels I overhyped the weather/event/turnout/etc. At the time, it honestly seemed like the weather was getting ready to warm up and dry out. Which it did, precisely around the time the parade ended, of course. Also, I should qualify anything I have said or will say with the fact that this was my first time riding in the parade, and my first time witnessing it since approximately '05.
That being said, I stand by my comment regarding the turnout, which
imho was large -- especially once we reached the parade and were joined by those who painted separately -- and gorgeous. I will however agree with Klondike that there were plenty of girls I'd liked to have seen drop their final garment, but I think plenty did so.
I went down as a rider, not as a photographer, and the only camera I had with me (and I believe the only camera I own) was my cell phone. Nevertheless, I will happily share these seven admittedly poorly-shot pics I took from the painting party.
