Enjoy it, Lyle!

I remember the Nats parade several years ago, didn't go downtown, but it was fun to watch it on TV, covered by all the local stations.

And back in 2010 when the Saints won the Super Bowl, THAT was a parade to be remembered!

Noo Awlins really knows how to throw a party!

I'm also going to plan to spell planning right!

I discovered that as well as the parade, there's going to be a celebration event at Dodger Stadium.
They are reporting that fans can only do one or the other due to street closures and such. Don't
know if that's really true or they're trying not to overload the city, but I decided I'm first going to
try and get a ticket for the celebration, depending on the cost which they say is going to go to charity.
They go on sale at noon and I'll see what happens! If not, there's the backup plan! My feet would rather
sit at Dodger Stadium!

You get your Parade!!  :o :o :o............what a game!  ;D
I'm guessing the parade will be Saturday, since most workers would be off that day?
Either way, get yourself ready!  ;)
Enjoy the WIN, Lyle!  :-*

Thanks, Jonn!!!

So I would've thought Saturday a better day for the parade, too, but maybe it's Friday because
I read that date is Fernando Valenzuela's birthday.

Tomorrow a lot of people might still be drunk, between Halloween and the win.  :(

Though the Yankees are not the Astros.

You'll have to post your celebration experiences!
Have a GREAT DAY in LA!  :-*

I did try to get a ticket to the stadium celebration, but didn't because it was sold out after I tried getting into the ticket browser for an hour after the start time. They may also have let Season Ticket holders into the ticket site for a time earlier than the rest of us peons! Heh!

But I did go downtown to the Dodgers Parade, which started at City Hall. It was fun to get on the subway early morning and see so many other Dodger fans in their Dodger gear and families taking their young children. The crowds were enormous and trying to find a good spot was practically impossible. Everyone was incredibly friendly and excited and I had a lot of nice conversations with fans from all over the place. There were so many handsome Latino boys all over the place! Meow! I ended up finding a decent spot in front of the Disney Concert Hall and still waited almost an hour before the team arrived to great fanfare and joyous celebration!

I'm tall so I had an advantage, I guess, as to seeing the team buses from where I was, but I had to laugh when the parade starting passing by when hundreds of people hold up their cell phones as high as they can to capture what they can't see too well themselves, really, which blocks everyone's view no matter how tall you are! As the fans and teams celebrated, confetti cannons shot blue and white squares all over the place.

When I got to the downtown subway stop afterwards I thought coming back was going to be a nightmare, because there seemed like hundreds of people in lines waiting to even get to the escalators to go down to the first level where the ticketing is. (I have a tap card, so wouldn't have to do that.) But somehow things progressed rather well, though the cars were very crowded. It took a whole lot less time than i'd feared at first. After standing so long I wasn't anxious to keep standing and waiting for who knows how long!

Later I watched the whole thing, from the team leaving Dodger Stadium in five buses to take the freeway to City Hall (where fans lined some overpasses to cheer them, and others in traffic in the opposite lanes honked their car horns) to the downtown festivities and back to Dodger Stadium for the celebration. It's all on various youtube postings in various ways if anyone's interested.

As an added bonus, the weather could not have been more perfect the whole entire day!
