Remember how Hand-Eye Supply asked us to vote on which creative makers/builders/crafters/designers would grace their float at this year's Starlight Parade? And how they promised they would throw a party to announce the winners? Well if you were on such voter, drop by the shop tonight from 6-9 pm, where they're announcing the lucky floaters (that's the right term, right?), and giving the public a sneak peek of the in-progress float itself, geekily titled "The Creative Spark." Maybe it's just me but this is the first time I can remember a city parade that directly celebrated anything connected to this demographic or heard people I know talk about being there. That's a big part of why I've never attended one (also: mornings), so let's have some more of that. Also: this one's at night! (8:30 pm, downtown, June 4) And has an amazingly horrible logo!:
