I can't submit anything 'official' to them until we've decided who/what we'll be parading with.

I was gonna check w/the 501st today, but the site's been down all day.

I recall someone over there mentioning trying to get a military unit to march with the 501st, but the way the entries are organized, they group the freaky sci-fi people with the freaky other groups...and the military people with the military/civil services groups.

Yeah, we discussed Hummers and whatnot, but I'm not sure what ultimately became of it.

I'll see you guys there, but I'll be with my store, dressed as Rapunzel. How appropriate, no?

The Humvee proposal is dead. And corporate sponsorship by Medved was deemed inappropriate to the 501st MG, so that's out.

I'd suggest we get with them and do the whole Star Wars thing together. I still have yet to decide if this event is for me (I prefer to do charity functions), but I may change my mind.

Their site has been up and down all day, but this info is what I was able to glean from it while it was up.

OK folks, we are all set to roll with the 501st on this gig.

Parade starts at 10 am, and parade organizers are askin' us to begin lining up at 8 am.


Parade route covers about 2.5 miles, so plan your footwear accordingly.


Keep in mind the 10 am start time means when the BEGINNING
of the parade starts moving. It could easily be 11:30+ before our part of the parade actually gets mobile.


If your costume is somewhat....limiting....in regards to bathroom breaks, then bear that in mind as well. Also, water/snacks etc. are typically the responsibility of each participant.

We can hand candy out along the parade route, but we can't throw it to/at the kids....as much as we may desire to....

ALSO....


NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE

There were some "issues" last year involving the varied & assorted costumed fan groups all essentially 'lumped' together in one themed group by the parade organizers. We can expect this type of spacial arrangement again, however we must ensure that any....shenanigans .....are kept to a bare minimum or eliminated outright.

There were complaints by both participants and parade-watchers alike about behavior by some of the "Sci-Fi folks" in last year's parade.


So, that having been said, let's make sure that the RMFF leaves a lasting POSITIVE impression this year.


Also, my thanx go out to our 501st comrades for graciously inviting us to join them again this year.

I can guarantee that the offending parties in question will not be in attendance this year. That was a mistake on my part to mention that we were participating in the parade, and a big faux pas on theirs to assume that included them then to behave as they did.

No worries, FD.


At this point, I just need to solidify a head count.


So, if you are planning on participating in the parade, please post to that effect and indicate what costume you'll be wearing.

Original decision was to be there, but now it depends on how far along certain projects are. I can give a more accurate response in a couple weeks if that's OK.
