Actually all races are prone to violence during this parade but that has more to do with such a diverse/ethnic culture. At one time even cops were affraid to patrol the parade. However I can assure my safety and it would be part of a media float so its very unlikely anything would happen. I just thought it may be a unique experience to shoot a parade looking at the crowd instead of watching the parade.

Really wish I lived closer. Looks totally fascinating and something I would really enjoy. Whoever goes better post some good shots. Also, anyone going, got a P&S that will take movies? Would love to see and hear the activities.
