What I wrote thereFold it away
First, the crowds absolutely suck the joy out of the event. Participants get gated into the main area and bathrooms are non-existent, so much so that some people wear adult diapers to the event. Hard pass.
Second, the frigid temperatures and duration of the event make it unbearable. You’ll be standing for hours in the cold and crowded streets. It’s simply not worth it, just watch the event from the comfort of your warm home. You won’t be missing much.
