    Hey Bob,

    Massivnie blagodarnost za zamachatalni raz!!!

    That said again... perhaps you can clarify something for me. How was the placement in the parade procession of the CSC determined? First come first servered?

    If so - might I recommend RSVP'ing immediately for next year? Being 2004 --- you will likley be looking at an even larger mass participating --- mostly political candidates.... State, county, local, even presidential candidate representatives will likely be there clogging up the procession. Hell - I theoretically would be one of them if it wasn't for the fact I'd be more inclined to ride.

    I'm just saying - if there's a way to get into Row 1 instead of Row 3 - it might be prudent to see what can be done. Earlier visiblity means better visibility to the public (I heard someone tell me over 1/2 the crowd was gone by the time we were finally moving). AND we have the argument on our side that we sure as hell have a more attractive group of people among us than those Hog riders... we should be in front of them AT LEAST.

    ALSO... I don't know if you'd be interested - but some other good PR for the club might be Western Welcome Week down in Littleton. It has turned into a fairly large attendance event annually. Just a thought.

    I'm not entirely sure. It may very well be. If that's the case, when I get the letter for next year's parade, I'll turn right around and mail it in along with the check.

    I did speak to the parade comittee chairperson, and made mention of it being a rather early staging time last year (we were in the 1st division, and had an 8 am staging time, with earlier pre-staging meetings - ie: 6:30 at Starbucks - at 30 degrees F - which hurt our turnout). She may have taken that comment as meaning I wanted us to appear later in the parade - not sure - I'll check with her, though, and make sure it doesn't happen again. Since the parade started later this year, we could have afforded to be in an earlier division.

    It definately sucked not being on TV (I taped the parade), and seeing the crowds that were there while the TV was covering it, it's obvious that more than 1/2 of them left by the time we got going.

    Can you PM me with more info about the Western Welcome Week in Littleton? Thanks.

    Thanks again Bob for setting all of it up!

    I'm also interested in watching the video when you guys pick a time/place.

    After the parade on a 999

    Had a great time, but burnt to a crisp.

    Sorry I didn't stick around after the parade. I went to Erico and road the 999. What a fantastic bike!!!!!! Anyone have a spare $18K???

    When ARE we going to see all the pics that were taken from that day???

    I'm excited to see what all came out... and maybe get some vid-clips posted too if time/space on the hosting server permits.

    I dunno about the pics, I didn't take any. As for the video, I am the hosting server so there will be space. I still cannot locate the power adapter for my camcorder, so I'll have to borrow Bob's to actually get the video onto my computer. I think we were gonna sit down beforehand tho and watch it. The past week has kinda put a damper on travel plans, ya know?

    I have a few photos from before the parade, but they're not uploaded to the website yet. I think MileHighGSXR took a bunch. I was going to wait for him to give me the CD with them. I guess with the storm last week, a lot of things got put on hold. I'll post here when the pictures are up on the website.

    Ralph, lemme know when you want to get together and review the tape.

    Yeah I guess that snow did sort of get in the way of a lot of stuff last week.

    Well - I do look forward to seeing all the pics captured that day... and if the opportunity permits - to scope out the vid.

    BUMP

    Have any pics or vid been processed for posting yet?
    Not that I'm antsy or anything... but looking outside my window - there's only a 1ft x 1ft square patch of snow remaining from the blizzard down here... and that's only there because it's in perpetual shade.

    Hell - if its a matter of getting actual photos scanned it - I'll volunteer to do it and burn it to a CD and get it to Spiderman or whoever can post them.

    The main holdup was that I lost the power adapter to my camcorder. Bob and I watched the tape and I have his adapter now, so I'm in the process of editing the video down to something presentable and shorter.

    Patience, young padewan.

    I have the pics (at least the ones from my camera & Jim's). I was waiting for the video, and if anybody else had photos.

    Foxfire, can you get them to me?

    Vance/Dyscofool, do you have any more besides the ones you posted here?
