The Sashimi Tabernacle Choir was created by Richard Carter and John Schroeter with the aid of Team Sashimi. An idea like this draws volunteers like pirannas to a cornfed cow. Counting everyone who spent at least one evening or weekend helping, Team Sashimi has over 30 members. During the months of construction, my house looked like a scene from the 1960's Batman TV show. You know, where the lair of the villain is full of henchmen and diabolical contraptions, and is filmed on a slant. My bill for pizza, sandwiches, and beer during that period rivaled the cost of the fish.

The Sashimi Tabernacle Choir was just one of the many wonderful art cars at the 2001 and 2002 Houston Art Car Parade. An estimated 150 to 250 thousand spectators came to the parade this year, depending on who's numbers you believe. And as far as we could tell from inside the car, every last one of the spectators was doubled over with laughter.
