So I was talking to Mip, and she said that she is going to take part in the Turkey Day parade.  I was just wondering who all else was planning on going...

I think many of us would have if we had been asked.  A bunch of us have been waiting to hear something about it.

I guess Mip is going next Wednesday to be sized to get some royal looking garb.  She I guess talked to Betty.  I we both have her cell number; if anyone would like it, just send me a message...

Yep we got a call, too.  Nell Belle is going in to get some "fancy garb."  I believe it's actually the "Celebrate the Season" parade on Saturday, Nov 29.

We were called as well.  As far as getting fitted, nothing has been determined on that.

I think there was probably a mix up because of Tom leaving. As far as I know, he was the one taking names for that, so who knows if that list was passed along or if Betty is simply guessing who would like to attend.

Well, it's Friday night.  Our wardrobe has been organized and we're ready to go.  Watch your TVs.  I'll be waving to you!

They should have it indoors. At least our Downtown is kind of small.

Everybody looked great.  You didn't even look cold.

Unfortunately, the camera cut away before we could see who was in the carriage.

Me thinks they could have focused a bit less on the ZooperStars (odd things, those) and focused a bit more on our very own SuperStars.  Huzzah, Pgh RenFest! 

You all looked wonderful!  If anyone has that on video, please be sure to post it.  We would love to get a better look at all your smiling faces!

It was sunny and at least 40+ degrees.  With the multiple layers we had on, I doubt if any of us felt cold by then.  Mind you, standing around the parking lot at 7:30 we were chilly, but Laurie came through with a large vat of hot chocolate that helped quite a bit.  Then an hour later we were lined up at the privies (yes, they had privies).

Like most parades, most of the time and effort was setting up and waiting.  The actual parade was a small part of our day, but it was wonderful.  The crowd was very receptive (some of them were lining up at 7AM, too) and we got good coverage on television.

Cudos to Betty and Laurie for managing things so efficiently, and to all my fellow performers for being so great.  We did well today.

Well then, I guess we will not see you at the St Patrick's Day parade.
