This thread can be about anything having to do with the Parade or it's past, but I'm posting this Live Stream link here for those like me with no access to NBC. Don't wanna miss the parade.

It's always a treat seeing the performances and floats hanging in the air.

My favorite floats are undoubtedly the Pikachu and Sonic ones. Video gaming for life, man! Yeah, in our household, we would set up the Christmas tree while the parade was on. It was fun, but there was and still are too many commercials during them.

True... but there is also wide gaps of time between the more interesting parts of the parade, so they feel free to insert plenty of commercials. It sucks, but at least it's unlikely you're actually missing anything interesting.

Here is the balloon lineup for this year's parade...

-Some notes: It's the first year for the "Finn & Jake" balloon from Cartoon Network's Adventuretime, and it's Snoopy & Woodstock's 32nd year.



There will also be a few "balloonicles"... including Kool Aid Man, the Aflac duck, and a spinning dreidel.

No Gumball Watterson, but Jake and Finn? Boooooo.

Big winds could ground the balloons.

My wife just informed me of this. That sucks, if it happens. Just so long as EVERYTHING isn't cancelled.

I'm pretty upset too. Well at least I didn't travel all the way to NYC to see them. 

It's not certain that there will be big winds. The keyword here is "Could".

My cousin's girlfriend traveled to NYC to see the parade, and now I don't know if they will be there or not. I want to see the Wizard of Oz balloon.
