ENTRY FORM AND INFORMATION2012 ENTRY INFORMATION(Note from the office of the Venerable Doo Dah Information Attached: If you are thinking of entering the parade (oh, pitiful you), please memorize this page word for word, as there will be an exhaustive, painfully difficult test. Or, just read it and think pleasant thoughts, but try to keep the humming and twiddling to a minimum will you?) PARADE DAY: Saturday, April 28, 2012, 11:00am, East Pasadena 35th Anniversary: Yes, Doo Dah is old enough to be President! No one would have/could have imagined that the Doo Dah parade would be around in 2012 but here we are. We’re so happy to share this incredible benchmark with you!! YOUR ARRIVAL: The staging area for the parade is on Nina Street between Altadena Drive and Vinedo (just one block north of Colorado Boulevard). Go to MapQuest or Google and enter 73 No. Vinedo St., Pasadena, CA 91107 (check-in is in parking lot here). Please arrive and check-in NO LATER THAN 10:00am. Each group’s main contact should check-in for the group. Additional unpaid marchers, or brand new entries who appear that morning, will be collected at check-in. The main entry contact person (on the form) will be given parade stickers for every participant in their group. All of your people should wear them so they’re visible. Vehicles not in the parade will need to drop off people, props, floats, etc., and find parking outside of the staging area. HAPPY NOTE: There is GREAT free, all-day parking on Walnut Street, located just one block north of the staging area. The earlier you come, the easier it is to park! Come early, mingle, have fun, take pictures, practice your routines, pose, there will be lots of media on hand. CHECK-IN: Check-In will be open at 8:00am for the early birds. The location is at Nina and Vinedo Streets (parking lot at Nina/Vinedo--the front of the entry staging area). It will be easy to find. PARADE TIPS: The Doo Dah Parade has no marching order, so find a place that makes you comfortable. But, remember, it’s first-come-first-serve. If you are concerned about your spot, come early. Think about what is fun in front and behind you. If you’re a band you’ll probably want to find a place that’s not in front of or behind another musical group. Entries have been really good at figuring this out! Please do not throw any hard objects into the crowd, and keep in mind the trash left behind. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes unless your costume begs for something else! Bring water and snacks for before the parade. There will also be food vendors set up in 4 locations along the parade route. Also, Denny’s Restaurant is always serving on the corner of Vinedo St. and Colorado Blvd. for you Grand Slammers. Immediately after the parade, tasty and affordable Food Trucks are ready for you in the parking lot of Chefs Center, at the east end of the parade route, look for a green barn building behind Toro Sushi, at San Gabriel and Colorado. SOUVENIRS AVAILABLE: T-Shirts! T-Shirts For Sale! Cool New T-shirts can be purchased ($15.00) and souvenir pins ($5.00) at event in the staging area as well as along the parade route. When you buy a t-shirt and/or pin, you are supporting the whole Doo Dah Parade operation, which is a nonprofit, with a percentage also benefiting the humanitarian work of the Lion’s Club of Pasadena. Your support really makes a difference to us, and we thank you with love and good karma points!! MOTHER TRUCKIN’ FOOD TRUCKS 10AM-3PM: At 45 N. San Gabriel Blvd. (Colorado/San Gabriel).
