Alright, so call me a "parade snob," but I'm gonna share some thoughts, post-St. Patrick's Day Parade.
1. Who's idea was it to start a parade at 9am on a Saturday? With one setting of the time, you've now ruined Friday night (as if I make plans and go out, but STILL) and now Saturday morning. Consider 10 or 11, in the future, maybe? :)
2. Geriatrics approaching the Mix 97.7 van to SNATCH beads off the van were apparently never given a course on manners. You do not approach a moving vehicle; you do not approach parade entries, either. The reason we're "throwing" items into the crowd is so they don't HAVE to walk in traffic or amidst the parade entries. It's dangerous, and sets a bad example for kids. Nothing funny to add to that. I was blown away when this older lady literally WALKED RIGHT UP to my door, and placed her hand on a strand of beads hanging from my side mirror to take them for herself. "Excuse me?"
3. Are there EVER enough items to throw in a parade? Seems not. My GOSH, hard as we try, we always run out of stuff.
4. P.S., NMB St. Patty's Parade planner(s), a map to the lineup, a map of the route, etc., would've been nice in the envelope loaded with bank advertisements you sent us. :)
I think of ol' Richard Petty when I say... "Happy STP Day!"
