Today the Fremont district of Seattle has the annual summer solstice parade. I suspect that this year’s parade will attract even larger crowds than last year’s given the weather conditions are not quite so dismal as a year ago. Back then I was speculating how the rain would interact with the paint so artfully decorating many of the naked cyclists leading the way. A few years ago my band was part of the festival and parade when Honk West coincided with Summer Solstice.
