Ah, yes, the Grand Old Days death march - I remember it well. I think this time we should do a little more coordination around where we park. Before the parade, we should all meet at the end of the route. Half of us leave our cars there and we all get into the remaning cars and drive to the front. Then after the parade, we all get in the cars that are parked at the end and drive back to the cars at the front. It is a very long parade route to have to walk twice, which I did last year with nails protruding through the bottom of my boots! "It is too late for me, son." |

I was in too many parades in marching band to fear dehydration. Count me in.

Daily remembrance of those passed on "I'm still alive, but you are dead. I remember you, so you are eternal." Followed by repetition of loved ones' names. |

I can't wait to see who ends up wearing Slave Leia.
Oh wait - yes I can. "It is too late for me, son."

WOW - I guess there's some repsonce to this thread... We don't have to do it. I can almost guarantee Maul won't be doing it if is over
90° again. Solo all the way.
Anyhoo - these posts are exactly why I thought it a good idea to post this early, so we can let Zooboo know one way or the other early on, and so we can prepare accordingly if we do it.
