Doing anything for May day?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes. But not on the first day of May. But, this Sunday the fam and I will hit the May Day Parade here in beautiful Minneapolis. I don’t know how long a parade has been organized, but I’ve been going for at least fifteen years if not twenty. Equal parts hippy love feet, anarchist finger in your eye, and workers’ party call to action it has something for everyone. My oldest Fon stilted last year, and this year he and his brother will be wearing awesome rat masks that we spent the last few weeks constructing. If anyone is interested I’ll try to post some pictures.
