The Way To Do A Parade

The people in Nantes, France really know how to do a parade. During a festival commemorating Jules Verne, a giant marionette climbs out of a huge barrel, mounts a mammoth mechanical elephant and parades through the streets. As the parades through the streets, the French giantess takes a shower, sucks a giant lollipop and rests on the elephant's tusks, before she is ultimately hoisted into a giant rocket and set ablaze. Great photo-montage here, with quicktime videos. The site is in French, but just follow the arrows at the bottom of each page. via del.icio.us

Here in America, we like to build sports stadiums with state money and tax benefits.
Thanks so much for posting that, Ken , and I hope a similar event in Hoboken, honoring Sinatra and Baseball, will be happening soon.
