GrandeFullBody Loves* a Parade
*does not love
Well, I put out an open call for folks to cover the parade for me this morning, and I only had one taker – and that taker – our friend Ryan from GrandeFullBody – was someone who, like me, isn’t a parade person.
At first, I thought this may be unfair of us – but then Jeff pointed out that every media organization in the City is going to do a positive story about the Capital Ex parade. And not everyone likes parades. So we need to represent.
Now before you head over and there and read his hilarious-yet-scathing parade review, let’s be clear: we’re not criticizing the thousands of people who lined the streets for today’s event. In fact, I am literally BEGGING any of you to send me a picture, or an email, or WHATEVER, just so we don’t develop a rep for being civic parade enemy number one. Or pretty soon it’ll be bye bye theedmontonian.com, hello paradehaters.com.
Good job, Ryan. I give you 20 out of 10.

It’s not all parades that I hate, necessarily. I watched the pride parade from the beer gardens in churchill square. I enjoyed it. I’m telling you, for a parade to be good it needs drag queens, rainbows, beer, and music.
Good idea! Here’s what I’m thinking: next year, the edmontonian gets a float in the shape of a rainbow, and we pack it with live bands, drag queens and beer.
The paradehaters.com domain is available for the taking. Just sayin’.
