DragonCon Parade
We talked at some length, about the difficulty of communicating content in a parade, but what you can do is communicate presence. Or communicate, and this actually is a reflection back on the St. Petersburg Pride Parade, the sense of, "This is what a scientist looks like." Science is about doing, it's also about being, and being present at an event that already says something. But it's not probably a great venue for communicating content, but definitely lighting that spark for sure. And it is, the Dragon Con parade, was an incredibly diverse, and a very enthusiastic audience. It just totally blew me away.
