There's this crazy thing called the Art Car parade in Houston.

Art Car parade

Me, Christian (aka WP member "MADDuck") and Leah checked it out this year.

Here's a video of our immediate surroundings while waiting for it to start:

I've never been to one of the parades, but I have seen some of them parked in a downtown garage.

That one is an old classic..it is usually at the art car museum.

I was in the parade a few years ago...we had Super Happy Fun Land on Wheels and won 3rd place for alternative fuel...it was fun....I didn't get to go this year because we had an afternoon show that day. Last year I got to go to the underground Art Car Ball...and that was pretty amazing.
