Since discovering the guilty pleasure of Art Car mania, we have become nothing short of groupies. The weekend following our foray to Eureka Springs, the wife and I pile into the Pontiac and trek our happy asses to Texas. Houston, Texas, for the Orange Show's Everyone's Art Car Parade 2006!!
We arrived the day before the event late in the evening and got up the next morning to head off to the park. The streets were lined with people from all over anxiously awaiting the cars. We were not disappointed. This year's event included 266 entries of some incredible pieces of artwork. Don't let anyone fool you, these cars were labors of love and imagination. Some of the owners have spent literally thousands of dollars creating their art car. Many of the entries didn't even start out as a car of any sort, but they were as mobile as anything on the road.
My favorite had to be Draka the Dragon, this thing was astounding. Freaking huge!
We had such a good time at the parade, even with the Neanderthal standing next to us who thought it completely appropriate to tell his toddler-size daughter that she needed to grow up with boobs as big as one of the cheerleader type girls' walking with the parade. Somebody please get this man a castration for Christmas. Sleaze extraordinaire.
You can see all the cars at this year's parade and read about some of the entries and history of the Orange Show here:
Really, being unemployed does have it's perks!
