On second thought, uhhhhh, no. Maybe it's because I've been up since 6:30 Am. Maybe it's because I'm all tuckered out from having spent part of the evening laughing at the unintentional subtext littering one of America's most popular action movies with several hundred people. Or maybe it's because it's 51 degrees outside and raining.

Regardless of the reason, this whole leaving-my-nice-warm-house-to-camp-out-for-a-parade-on-a-sidewalk thing suddenly seems like a bad idea. Sure, people are counting on me to save them a spot but there will be time for that later this morning after I get some damn sleep. I drove up Broadway a few hours ago. There's only a few tents set up. If I get down there at a reasonable hour, I'll surely be able to land a decent spot.

What could possibly go wrong?

Next update: sometime after dawn.

Also: why am I doing this again?
