Flask it. You'll be glad you did.

These two lines don't add up. If you hate crowds, go around 7 to find a place a little bit away from the crowds. I haven't been for about 5 years, but we went at 7 and found a good spot, and by 8:00 we were watching the people who were just arriving trying to find a spot that wasn't a wall of people.

Jesus Christ, how old are you? I can tell you what the parade was like in the late 90's, but that's about it.

The Stampede Band actually sounds good now.

Thanks for some of the suggestions... I will be baileys and coffee'ing it in the morning and will probably bring along a flask for later...
I can't imagine the wifey will want to get there too much earlier than 8. I am up early every day and getting up earlier for a parade is a tough pill to swallow on my day off.
Anyone got a favorite intersection or spot to see this thing from?
