    I think we should have a 45-second Benny Hill-esque scene. Rebels over-throwing Imperial guards, being chased by the Tuskens, Tuskens being chased by Imperials, Luke/Jedi chasing the Imperials and finally fighting the Sith with lightsabers.

    If you could bring some sabers and blasters, I have no doubt they would be put to good use. I'd be happy to wield one of each. Thanks!

    The bloopers reels I do for the snowmobile DVDs use a keystone kops type music track :) so much fun to see my dad fall off his snowmobile to that music.. and then rewind and play it in slow motion... and rewind and do freeze frames... and rewind again to play at normal speed and splash some smart arse comment on the screen

    And when you see the building marked "Rogers Warehouse" you will be making a right at the end of that building. :D

    No, we didn't make the cut this year. They stopped filming about 3 or 4 floats ahead of us (by my estimation). So next year maybe we should try harder to be closer up front.

    Made it back home. Played a little bit of Smash Bros. with the little girl and then somehow passed out until just now. I...have a sunburn. When did that happen? Had fun, though. Float looked awesome, too!

    Need to thank Nigel again for letting me crash at his pad. Unfortunately, his vintage pron collection was already organized by the time I made it up on Friday night.

    What a blast!!!! You guys completely rocked!!!

    We definitely need to get our app in early for next year, and get further ahead in line.

    Pics are uploading now, but I won't be able to get them up until tonight (got another photoshoot this afternoon), and I spend last night recovering.

    Glad ya made it up Zoom!

    Also, for those of you that ever want to go hiking or such with a stormtrooper, take Zoom, he carries many varieties of chewy granola bars in his back gear. If we put a tap on his back, he'll be perfect! [face_mischief]

    I got a sunburn too! on my face. I was getting ready to go see My Girl and I noticed my face was red! Holy Carp!



    My feet have recovered. Thankfully!

    We soooooooo have to do this again next year!


    ...and one last thing,

    The CW SUCKS EGGS!!!! for cutting us off 2 floats before we were to appear!!!

    Oh Yeah! Show the float, if you can call it that, of the trailer that had all the drunks on it with green hats but don't show the best frakkin' float of the parade cuz of American Idol reruns at 5:00!!!!

    They Suck!!!!!!
