Really, we're not sure anyone wants to know. Harry Potter looks like he thinks he should keep a closer eye on Dolores Umbridge than Severus Snape. More than one person in the crowd pointed out that they used to play with that toy. A parade isn't complete without a marching band.
The Boxheroes: Superhero costumes fashioned from cardboard boxes. They look a little like Heroclix or Lego minifigs. This couple got engaged during the parade. But their group formed a protective circle of trust around them, so what the crowd saw during the actual event was Funny how the most noticeable person behind the pirates and wenches banner is a dude.
Flying Spaghetti Monster, complete with his creations of mountains, trees and a "midgit". Every year, we have a little imaginary wager about which group will be bigger: Colonial Fleet or Stormtroopers.
We weren't sure who these people were until someone yelled, "Winter is coming. That hissing sound you hear is really steam escaping from their costumes in the Georgia heat.
True story: Those orange Jayne hats are maddeningly hot. I've seen some couples as Sarah and Jareth but that one is pretty great! Yes, the parade was VERY long this year. I took over pics myself and had to whittle it down to the I put on flickr and facebook. But it was a super turnout and beautiful weather too.
Loved your pictures! I see some who must have dropped out before they got down to our end of the parade or must have been on the other side of the street and we missed them. And I wondered about the statue of liberty in with ghostbusters but couldn't see her little figures until you mentioned it here, now it all makes sense. Thanks for posting these. Have you seriously Never heard of Wookie Cookies???
SO mad I missed the parade. Effin migraine. I digress. I saw 'Scotty' Saturday evening while waiting for a panel and my jaw dropped! I thought I was seeing a ghost! The Luigi Ghostbuster is from the gamecube game Luigi's Mansion.
He goes around sucking up ghosts in a very ghostbuster fashion. I have a recipe for Wookiee Cookies in my recipe box--they're chocolate chip cookies with two kinds of chocolate chips and oatmeal in the recipe. My sons stayed with my sister's family for several days 15 years ago or so, and all four boys made a batch of these from "The Star Wars Cookbook.
Maybe I need to remedy that. I was one of the Layer Cake Kaylee's in the parade. It was a log of fun. And the road was only half open for part of the parade.
The last part which made me think WTF? Here Jen: Wookie Cookies as required. In the book they make them bite sized. This is wrong. They are wookiees and as such should be huge! Sometimes I only get a dozen out of this recipe Liisa M, that is the recipe that I have, without the commentary. Thanks for sharing your DragonCon experience! And congrats on your brush with TNG celebrity- so exciting! WV: Jack Harkness is lickabl.
How awesome! Kayla-- Costumes not required. In fact, you tend to see a ton of geeky t-shirts. Jen-- Seriously? The city capped the parade at 3, and then didn't completely close the street access like every other year?
Also, it felt long to those of us staging too--it was almost before our group was let loose. Then some vehicle kept dying in front of us. Then there was no free water left. But we survived! Did we make CNN again? Holy Gods of Greece! You'll find characters from the 's Batman and the Batmobile, 's Saturday morning shows such as Land of the Lost, to recent movies, like Harry Potter and Captain America. Video game characters are also popular with parade participants.
Of course, Star Wars characters always have a large presence. It's a fun and free event for all ages to see the characters parading up the street. The views expressed in this post are the author's own. Want to post on Patch? Register for a user account.
