: Pakistanis find no evidence against ‘terror mastermind’ PASADENA, Calif. First there was a controversy over too many tossed tortillas. Now, the annual Doo Dah Parade through Old Town Pasadena is shaking things up by postponing the 2007 parade -- until 2008.
The unusual and wacky parade will forgo its traditional Thanksgiving weekend date and instead hit the Pasadena streets on Jan. 20, organizers told the Pasadena Star-News. "We're tired of being predictable," said parade director Tom Coston.
"We don't want to be like that 'other' parade." The satirical answer to Pasadena's grand Tournament of Roses Parade has delighted and offended people since the seventies with amusing and silly entrants such as the Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap team and a marching group called the Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin. Parade organizers plan to announce next year's grand marshal next week -- "the best grand marshal ever, from out of state" promised Coston.
Tryouts for coveted parade slots will be Nov. 11. Already sign-up for next year's parade are groups called "Rulers of the Underwear World," "Chia People," and "Junior Miss Supersize," the Star-News reported.
