Portland Rose Fest

I'm in Portland Oregon enjoying the annual Rose Festival. It's quite the affair. There are tonnes of people here and they are all quite friendly. I'm waiting in a cafe along the parade route surfing and soaking things in. People have camped out on the streets in order to be in a position to watch the parade. Apparently there has been a major change in the parade culture. It used to be that you could tape off your place along the route, write your family name (in tape) and be assured of a spot. Last night the cops pulled up all of the tape. Oh well, it all seems quite orderly still, but I'm worried about the coffee line behind me.
