The mummers are a New Years
The mummers are a New Years Day tradition!
I grew up attending these events as a youth.
The rents would drive us rats up to the city to freeze our ass's off at 4am so we could line the city streets til the event started.
Love just watching on TV these days.
One year before I die, im flying to Philly with a 10 strip and gonna watch the parade the way it's meant to be SEEN!

"Shouting crowds and mummer's shrouds
And people going crazy
Always said what was in their heads
It surely was amazing
I had my fun in the bull ring
And never got a scar
It really wasn't hard
To be a star"

Dressed sequins and feathers. Folks also consume copious amounts of alcohol and there is lots of public urination. It's sort of a mess.

The one and only Mummers
The one and only Mummers Parade I saw (early 80s) featured a large number (100? 1,000?) of banjo players.
Is that a staple? Was it one-time thing?

its a crazy messed up BIG
its a crazy messed up BIG tradition. I respect it but I just never got it. They have social clubs that take it waaaaaay serious. some spend thousands on their costumes. And booze. And family and friends. and banjos, maybe a little black face, umbrellas, and just the craziest thing. Hangovers and 'oh those golden slippers'-ouch. I put it on for some kids that never saw it and they were fascinated, glued even. Something there, but I dont get it. Still, i always seem to watch a few minutes each year.
oh and have a Happy New Year! what is your resolution?

Nothing like experiencing it
Nothing like experiencing it LIVE....the color, the string bands, the glitter and sparkle, and Ohhhh, the Philly ;) Been going for many years and I have family in a few clubs also, since they moved the fancy brigades inside to the convention center it just isn't the same for me ! But my fav memories are of the colorful string bands marching past me while i'm sipping hot chocolate.
I will take a 100 banjo's...anyday :).

The Rose Parade for the Rose
The Rose Parade for the Rose Bowl? I saw it once when I was about 7 - it was a much smaller parade and simpler, but I think they made the floats of real natural materials even then. I don't know. It was exciting to be there, for sure.
