Never understood it. Bad music, drunken men (and now a few women) in make-up, sequins and feathers and the l__o__n__g__e__s__t parade in the universe, although since they, in an incongruous action of simultaneously super commercializing (by moving peoples favorite part into a paid venue) and socializing it (by demanding municipal funding assistance), have gotten shorter.

Years ago, after a being forced for years to watch it in black and white on TV, I went with a girlfriend to the parade thinking that the live experience would be better. I was wrong. Huge gaps of nothing going on and the coldest I've ever been in my life.

I guess it is just something beyond my comprehension.

Guess it's a South Philly thing
