Rose Bowl Parade

New Years day we watched the Rose Bowl parade go down Colorado Street, just a few blocks North of our house.  We bought bleacher seats, meaning that once we sat down we were trapped until the parade was over.  The bleachers had roughly 28 benches, with easily 40 people per bench (probably more like 60 or 80).  More than 1000 people.  I'd never guess  how little space 1000 people take up.

Next year we will stand on the street.  Hopefully we'll also get a chance to participate in the New Years Eve partying that goes on up and down the street, as people camp out to claim a good spot for viewing the parade.
