Here, presented as potential QUESTIONS you might have, is what to expect THIS SUNDAY, when we play at May Day: 1. First of all, WHAT section are we going to be in, in the May Day Parade lineup? We're going to be in the BLOOM section of the parade lineup.  (Jean Ockuly figured this out for us -- thanks Jeanie!) 2. OK, so WHERE is that? Well, even though it's the LAST section, we meet at the start of the parade,  which means that we're going to want to meet close to the corner of Bloomington and 18th Ave S .  When you get there, if you have any difficulty, remember you're in the BLOOM section, ask Parade Marshalls, and tell them you're "Toward the back"... they'll direct you where to go.
