Bloom, IN _____Whaddaya up to?____

Have been up to ........too much lately,

am unsure about any new activities,

am hopeful to make it down to Bloomington in October,
thus will miss your Sept, events, unless something
changes for me.

Ed

 

ref,

We just got our big "OMG this is what the Hundred is doing this coming season" e-mail and I'm plesaed to announce that our "comepeitive" show (the one we'll take to the Ohio State University and possibly march at the Colt's game) is going to be The Phantom Menace. I'm taking that to mean it's going to be stuff like the opening theme, possibly the Flag Parade and Duel of the Fates. I have to go into the band department tomorrow to pick up a CD and if Colonel is in there I'm going to stop and talk to him about it.

When I have a date for that game maybe a few of you (Ed and Cole) could show up and troop for us or something. I'll ask Colonel if he'd like some local 501st help and maybe get the Indy Vader or something. I don't know............. but yeah. Thought you might like to know that. I expect to see ya'll at least at that game

-------------------

Any updates on this?


for now, Homecomming Weekend is looking good for me,
October 26,27,28,29

wonder what that HoosierTrooper is up to that weekend

 

I hear the Hoosier Trooper will be in grand style that weekend. I have the decals ready to take over a football game!

 

Ahoy, there, all you pirate fans,

and, Avast there all mates and wenches,

Sept 19, is____TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY____

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

so try to have some fun

or ya might find yourselves walking the plank!

aarrrggghhhh

 

Well, will be down in Bloomington for IU Homecoming,
will attend the parade for sure!

will be around Thursday and Friday in genearl,
and maybe some of Wednesday night.


After that, way to much happening to know for sure,
and of course, it is what many see as
the Halloween weekend.

I will be back in Chicago-Land for the actual day,
October 31, and even bid the day off work,
(I work nights, 4-pm to midnight, so this kinda
makes sense)

but so far, very very very few,
have posted any thoughts about what they are up to
on this at this time.

Ed

 

Well, Halloween is my favorite time of year and I happen to have that weekend off. If anyone wants to get together for some Halloween type activities I'm game!

 

HI,

well, will be on my way tomorrow to IU and Beautiful Bloomington.

I will be at the parade......not in armor at this time,

I should be easy to find and be with the Bloomington chapter
of the IU Alumni association, which last year was at,
just before Kirkwood and Indiana.....if I remember that right
and the parade still goes that way and it is on Friday.

Would be up for a Hi How are you after that as well.


Ed

ps, would like to know the where abouts of the Hoosier Trooper,
like...are in in the parade......

 

Well, I won't be in the parade, but will more than likely be running around the game.

If you guys aren't doing anything this saturday, ya might as well come out and fill 'The Rock.'

 

ref fill the Rock, GO I.U.

also, guess that a ROCK STAR will be there as well, singing something

and, WOW, is it raining here in Bloomington. Wonder where my inflatable raft is.

 

I'd love to rock The Rock, but sadly I work on Saturdays.

 

Just check in and sneak out. They want 50,000 people there, so if there are only 49,999 it is your fault.

 

I think they got close to 45,000?

anyone know exactly.

any other comments on Homecomming weekend?
( I know that there are a few IU students here)

I am still trying to dry out from all that rain,
and yes,
I was depressed that the parade was canceled,
it is always fun to see and cool to see the
bands and floats. espeically the Marching 100
comming down Indiana in front of the Samples Gates.

 

.
Thought I might be running into the HoosierTrooper in INDY yesterday,
unless I blinked and missed you at a Toy Drive event
.

 

I didn't make it up. I had school work, but also wanted to leave spots open for some other members. I posted that I could be available, but they didn't need me.

 

.....and, ok, guess I am just being nosy, but,

TheQueenMother


has not posted in over 4 months (that I can see)

 

Well, just a warning to the Bloomington area in general

I am planning to visit/be-in-town

during the evening of

Thursday, February 22.


Hoosier Trooper, look for a pm from me.

Ed

 

Just on Thursday Ed?

 

Yes, Just Thursday night..and....this visit is also dependent on a private event in Columbus,
the following day.

Stay tuned, I will post more with as much lead time as I can muster

Ed

 

DRATS, my visit seems off at this time,

next for sure visit is LITTLE 500 time,

April 19,20,21,22......

 

t hen you would be able to atend the April meeting that weekend???

 

For now, 19 and 21 and maybe 22, look like open evenings for me that weekend

 

I will make the APRIL meeting the 21rst so you can come Ed.
I am more then happy to work around anybodys schedule.

 

Sigh. If it's really the 21st, Rae, Ben, and I won't be there. It's a home weekend, since the 21st is Thunder Over Louisville. Not complaining or anything, just letting everyone know. We Louisville suburb people have to go to Thunder.

 

Have you ever been here for the little 500? Even if you don't care to be crazy stupid drunk, its one heck of a time. I would definitely miss Evansville's big event (fall festival) in the name of Little 5.

 

Thanks Eric, should be able to make it.

and yes, my main reason for visiting,

is THE LITTLE 500

not the parties, but the actual race, which I find
pretty gosh darn inspirational.


also

am always looking for an opportunity to visit Bloomington
