I can get this if you like the old floats and designs but the riders come off as really snooty and they barely throw anything at all. Not a fan


Man, frick Proteus. Bunch of pretentious, stingy douchebags. Every year they throw the same red or white cups and the same light up beads. Complete waste of time. My kids went from “throw me something mister” to “will anyone throw anything?” Float after float… we’d watch them not throw a single thing for over 2 blocks. And their floats are old pieces of shite. I’m done with them. I’ll be sure to get out there for Orpheus only going forward.

As a kid in the 70s and 80s, the worst parades were the weekday parades Uptown. Those frickers would be go by so fast.
