Aloha,

Just wanted to share some pictures with you all of the FI/Meshugga Float in the Alameda Parade July 4th. The parade, which is one of the longest in the US (over 2 miles, over 150 floats) winds all over the island.

We rented a 24ft flatbed, decorated it extra-hoopty, and Meshugga Beach Party rocked their way down the street on the back of the float. The parade, which was advertised to move at 5 mph, apprently was in fact a NASCAR event and Rebecca, Michael, Stephanie, and I pretty much spent two hours running behind a truck chock full o' chosen for the whole time- hence no pictures of the actual parade.

Still very sore, but very pleased to say that Meshugga took home First Place in the "Best Civilian Band" category!!!

Here you go:

(no shit: the float in front of us was the mormons, and the float behind us was "Alameda County Alcohol Treatment Programs" D'oh!)
