As an artist and sociologist, this event appeals to me on so many levels, not the least of which is the pre-christian concept of the divine feminine. This year's parade almost did not happen because of wide-spread damage from Sandy, but it was saved by a kickstarter campaign. We ended the day with some bibimbap in K-Town. The parting shot below is the Freedom Tower as seen from our Chelsea hotel (no not THE Chelsea Hotel).
Thanks to everyone for sharing their creative energy.
