Very proud of the Philadelphia Pranking Authority a Comic Brigade that I founded 14 yrs ago. Even TV commentator Larry said how much he liked them and their Zoo Escape theme. And they were the first group up, too!

To people born and raised in the #Philly area, the #Mummers seem normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-18g8AJoQ

Happy New Year everyone!
The mummers parade is streaming live from Philadelphia. It's the oldest continuous folk parade in the US. Check it out!

A feel- good story to start the year: after her husband of 70 years died, a woman in Wales started watching videos of British marching bands to cheer herself up. A video of a band playing one of her husband's favorite songs turned out to be from a Philadelphia string band in the #Mummers Parade. Two years later, at age 93, she and her family are seeing the Mummers up close today!

Finally went to my first mummer's parade. Interesting to see an entire town drunk.
(This is not an endorsement of the mummers or the casual and structural racism and misogyny in most of their clubs. I just lived really close to where it was all happening and was morbidly curious)

Is #Philadelphia's famous #drag parade not being broadcast on network TV this year?
Apparently, the broadcast has been banished to #MeTV. I guess all those men in dresses, feathers, wigs, and makeup is too much for impressionable children. 😅

Sending much Philly Love back in time to Frank Carter of the Passyunk Club who, in 1909, "Looked a 'stunner' in a beautiful sheath gown of white lace."

Our local #EastKent #MummersPlay was performed by the #BoydenGate #Mummers again this Boxing Day, followed by the #Wantsum #Morris men. A reasonable audience, with many ramblers and dogs as usual.

The first time I ever got to go trick or treating was when I was 21 years old. My roommate Viki went as a vampire and I went as her victim in a long white nightgown and a bloody neck. The only place we went to, the woman said, "Aren't you too old for this?" It crushed all my joy. I didn't get to go as a kid because I grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family.
In downtown Fredericton there's an old cemetery that everyone uses as a shortcut. That Halloween night, the gates were open, so Viki and I walked in. We passed a watchman who said hi. But when we got to the other side, the gate was locked.
We turned around to exit the way we came in, only to find that gate was locked, too. The watchman had shut us in!
We wandered around looking for a way out, and then city workers saw us and started yelling at us for breaking into the cemetery. We explained what had happened and asked for them to let us out. They didn't have keys. So they pulled their truck up to the cast iron fence and helped pull us over the fence.
Who else gets locked into an old cemetery on their first Hallowe'en? My nightgown got ripped, but it was totally worth it. It brought back all the joy that had been sucked away by the mean woman telling me I was too old for trick or treating.
FWIW, the last time I went trick or treating was when I was in my forties. If mummering were a thing here, I'd do that, too.

I respect the artistry of the big string bands with the big sets and choreography and $$$$, but my heart is always with the little groups. Like I could see myself being part of one of the small groups, but not the big ones #MummersParade #Mummers

Finally get to the really talented acts, and then the broadcast... freezes up?

Mummers Parade on TV and pork and sauerkraut cooking in the crockpot - it’s New Year’s Day in my Pennsylvania German household. If you want to check out the parade, you can watch it at the following link. Commenting is not the best this year, imo.
