MUSIC NEWS DOO DAH WEEK!
By SierraMadreSue Behrens
 DOO
DAH! DOO DAH! It's
finally here! Postponed from its usual date in November, Pasadena's
other
Parade kicks off at 11:30am this Sunday, Jan. 20th at the corner of Raymond
& Holly Aves. in Old Towne. The hot tip from me - take the Gold Line train
to the Memorial Park station & avoid the hassle of traffic and parking -
you'll be glad you did! See listing below for info. on the official parade
post-party. And h ere's a photo of this year's
DOO DAH QUEEN - NAUGHTY MICKIE - professional belly dancer and sword
handler extraordinaire, with yours truly - Doo Dah Queen 1993! Click
