2002 Parade

Pink Man and the NIMBY Brigade
Local favorite Pink Man covorts on his unicycle in front of the Not In My Backyard Brigade. "When do we want it? Never! What do we want? Nothing!"

Robotic Sea Horse
Notorious inventor, Bob Schneeveis, created this incredible walking sea horse!

Pink Bunny Slippers
Greg Solberg and Lisa Pongrace created these giant bunny slippers for Burning Man and had a blast driving them up University Avenue in the parade.

Art Car
"How Berkeley Can You Be?" coincides with the annual Art Car West Fest and this fantastic art car was one of 80 from all over the country.

Goddess of Berserkocracy
A Berkeley sculptor, Stan Huncilman, created this spoof of the Berkeley bureaucracy, in part due to the zoning problems he faced over his art studio.

Rosin Coven
This local 10 piece band, in addition to making music that sounded as much like Kurt Weill as Kurt Cobain, advocated making martinis not war!

"Ping" The Submarine
Christopher Schardt built this submarine on wheels that actually blasted the crowd with water from jets on the side and water baloons shot with a giant sling shot from a hole in the roof.

Extra Action Marching Band
One of the more raucous bands in the parade!

Seoul Cafe
Why waste the meat from all the dogs euthanized by the SPCA? This year the PETA Brigade created the Seoul Cafe, where the main ingredient was, you guessed it, dog! Really?

California Repercussion Band
40 strong, this band consists mainly of former members of the UC Berkeley, Davis and Stanford Marching Bands.
