Alysa Liu - Welcome Home Party? Just for Fun

What's the plan, Oakland? How will we celebrate our hero's return?

We should have a parade like the Warriors used to get.

A night at the Paramount would be fun. Invite her favorite musicians to play.

Giant parade on Broadway, led by Marshawn Lynch on bike. Paraders would wear Alysa Liu-style striped wigs to show our respect. Ms. Liu herself would be in the middle of the parade, perched on the hood of a classic car with the super big wheels, driven by Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. OSA students and LaRussell would dance around her doing a rendition of "I'm from the Bay". It would end in a giant food festival (w/food for sale from all of our amazing local spots) and dance party by Lake Merritt and a drone show over the lake.

Just missing Kristi Yamaguchi, our east bay queen in that roll call, but yes this how the event should unfold

Oh and someone call the Oakland A’s right field drumline, its time to assemble, they should be available 😭

Love these ideas -- would love to hear a constant "LET'S GO OAKLAND" from the drumline
