May Day (Late Post)

I know that I’m a little late. The Powderhorn Park May Day Celebration was May 3rd.  Here are some of reasons to attend the parade, these  pictures were taken by 9to5 Poet. If you want to see more of them, you can get to her flicker stream by visiting her post: Why I Love Minneapolis #100: Radical Socialist Puppet Parades.

My favorite bit was the creepy dude that looked like he was going to flash. However, he had taken on the Spy vs. Spy outfit in order to pass out subversive literature: a condensed version of The United States Constitution. It was great. Thinking through the metaphor, as country we have lost sight of what it means.

There were many costumes representing the human need for wilderness and respectful treatment of our environment, but this one was one of the best. 

The last picture that I will post is the following of horror-stricken baby-boomers chasing after their financial nest egg. 

If you didn’t make it this year, I hope to see you in 2010!
