An invitation from Charles Bukowski:

 

Hey you out there, you think you're some kinda VIP big shot, huh? All the VIP's I know are glued to bar stools in dark, little confessionals otherwise known as gin joints...

They don't count stars, they count their change...

And they consider the greatest question in the universe-where's my next drink coming from? Which gets me to my

next point...There's only three reasons to get out of bed before noon on Saturday, May 1st...They are in order of importance:

 

1. the bar opens at 8am

2. chili will be on at 10am

3. the parade starts at 11am

 

The Colorado

2640 E. Colorado

No chairs (bring a lawn chair for mom'n'pop)

No stickers

No bullcrap

Michelle Mills aka Naughty Mickie

I am a features staff writer for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group, and after seven auditions resulting in five consecutive years spent as a runner-up, I finally, rightfully, became the Queen of the 31st Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade 2007/2008. I love rock n' roll, motorcycles, swords and sushi. I hate sitting still. Read my blog regularly to bring some excitement into your otherwise dull existence. Oh, and you may stop kneeling now and carry on -- as you were... ~ Follow me on Twitter @ Mickieszoo ~
