Steve spends quality time with Weldon at the Krewe of Olympus booth. Note the Diet Coke hidden in the brown paper wrapper.

Marilyn tries to cool down - full makeup is difficult on a hot summer night.

Craig strikes a glamorous pose.

Jimmy glues on some shiny nails at the last minute.

Rex pretends to put some last-minute touches on the float. I actually didn't do anything: Ken and Rene did most of the work.

Deb-U-Not Alex shows his stuff.

Steve shows us where the reigning Miss Camp America will stand.

Luis tries on his headpiece. Ouch!

Bob Rinn gets ready in his costume before he carries the banner.

Carlos coordinated the banner carrying duties.

Pat supervises with a cheerful smile.

Tina Sparkle shows us how clean-shaven those underarms can get for Miss Camp America.

Here we are watching from our table at Cafe Complique.

Here's another picture. I kept this photo because it turned out so weird: Joe is waving and smiling; Jim seems to be glaring with devil-red eyes; Steve is happy - but half his face is missing; Ron is staring off into space; and the waiter in the background is standing guard.

The Miss Camp America float.

Another picture of out float as it sails away. We were number 107 out of about 130. The parade started on time at 8:45, but the "O" float brokedown and the parade stopped for about 15 minutes. The whole parade was over by 11:15.
