Seattle Atheists

The Flying Spaghetti Monster and His pirate legions will make a repeat appearance at Seattle Pride Parade this Sunday, June 27 in downtown Seattle.

All faithful Pastafarians are welcome to join Seattle Atheists in the parade! Keep an eye out for direction from Becky and Kyle.

DETAILS

9:00 a.m.
FSM moving assembly begins at the staging area on 4th Ave between Columbia and Cherry streets.  We will need help with assembly.

10:30 a.m.
Pirates should arrive at 4th and Cherry St. and be ready by 10:30. Leave lots of time for crowds. Come on foot via James or Columbia. If being dropped off from the north or west, approach via University; if from the south, approach via Cherry/6th Ave; if from the east, approach via Madison. If you can, take the bus. King Country Metro is giving out free all-day passes to downtown. Prepare for tough traffic, detours, and impossible parking. The KOMO4 News garage near the Seattle Center is reasonably cheap.

11:00 a.m.
Parade start at 4th and Union, to 4th and Denny. Pirates should be ready and present. Becky will tell you what to do!

2:00 p.m.
We need people to help break down the FSM at 4th & Denny.

Bring
Water, sunscreen, comfortable shoes. Wagons for supplies and baby pirates are welcome.

We need volunteers to man the booths and participate in parades this summer. If you’ve ever been to the Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade, the UW Street Fair, or the Pride Parade and PrideFest, you know how important it is to be available for questions from the public. You can be part of the highly successful and always entertaining “Ask an Atheist ¢25″ booth, or simply be available to answer questions about the organization and what we do.

Send an e-mail to seattleatheists@seattleatheists.org to sign up for a shift! Also, check out our volunteer page for other opportunities!
