May Day parade and ceremony

I was going to post pictures of the May Day Parade, but springbok1 has already done such an excellent job that I will simply instead refer you to her entry here. I ask you, how often do you get to see a parade with dancing jelly fish? Or a frog marching band? Or a dragon made out of water bottles? Or a giant faucet, dancing on stilts? Or a twenty-foot high water Goddess Mother of the Waters? Note the picture of naomikritzer, dressed a water lily, marching with her daughter Molly and one of Molly's friends.

We had a great time, although the girls were a little sorry not to be marching in the parade itself this year. We walked over to Powderhorn Park afterwards to watch the Tree of Life Ceremony, where we were joined by my friend Sanjuanita, there for her very first May Day. After that, we joined a number of picnickers (dreamshark, minnehaha B. and K., buttonlass, lollardfish, buttonfish, mizzlaurajean, and doubtless others I am forgetting) and lounged around eating brautwurst and grilled oysters. A lovely May Day, and surprisingly, the rain held off all afternoon.

(If anyone else has posted a report or pictures of the parade or ceremony, leave the link in the comments. Thanks.)

Well, what the heck?

I just realized: my guestbook link at the top of my journal disappeared. Where did it go and how do I get it back? (I am afraid I can't remember how I set the darn thing up in the first place, but I remember that it was a hassle to figure out how to do it.) Can anyone more tech-savvy than me answer this? (Er, legomymalfoy? Bueller? Anyone???)
