OK, I KNOW that many of us will be drunk, tired and desire to sleep in on parade day of Dragon con. BUT, I was wondering, since Cobra will be marching, would any of us like to march? Pros about marching: It will be my birthday. We can't let Cobra get away with this by themselves. Everyone would love us, and we'd get big ego boosts. I've never marched in a parade, and it's my birthday. We wouldn't have to "march' in formation--we could meander, unlike Cobra, who have to march in formation. We could poke Cobra folks with sharp sticks as they collapse from heat exhaustion. It'd be SO COOL. Con: It's really early, and I'm not much of an early riser, especially on my birthday. It will be hot, and we might get sweaty. It will be long, and we will get tired. We might look like total nerds in the nerd parade, while thinking we look like cool people in the cool people parade. Anyway, just thought I'd throw the idea out there. 'Specially since it will be my birthday.

CON: You would have needed to reserve space in the Parade several Months ago. Seriously. But to extend an Olive Branch...any S.M.G.I. Joes who wish to march in the parade can march with the 21st COBRA Infantry...just let us know how many pairs of hand-cuffs we need to bring.

I don't do parades at DC. Thats prime sleep time. But if you really want to do it, I'll march. You just have to wake me up.
Thanks for the invite Strat.

Get us a headcount ASAP so I can update the parade organizer. Everyone that marches gets a parade ribbon if she has not ordered them yet! It will be an early morning. The parade starts at 10 AM, but the entire group needs to be at the start site at least an hour beforehand. Last year we met in the lobby about a half an hour before that time so we'd get everyone there on time.
If it is a hot day, you will probably want fabreeze for your uniforms.

Did you all see the "chained to Dr. Mindbender's table Lady Jaye" version at the Joe Con? Sheesh!
Suffice it to say--been there, not going back! ;D

Well, it's up to Rachel if I'm marching. Cause without persuasion there is no way in hell I'm march through Atlanta during the summer in a zipped up leather jacket.

Well, if anyone else wants to do this, I'll be up for it. If not, I'll be snoozing next to Ken.

Is that a come-on? cuz really, I am sorta seeing someone, and also I don't need Mute Ninjas kicking my ass. (thats a joke folks) Anyhow...if the Joes are in the parade "Under Guard" then they don't have to "March" so much as stroll.

Yeah, I can't see myself suiting up at 9am and stinkifying the costume before I'm even aware I'm awake.
Now, if only it was occuring on someone's birthday--that would be another issue entirely.

Treads--Wow, that is such, like, a coincidence, cause, like, my birthday happens to be on parade day (I think--It's the 4th, right? If it's not, no matter, I claim the whole weekend as my birthday, cause I'm selfish like that. ) Strat: Don't worry, we'll have mute ninjas beat you all up on principle. S.M joes indeed! (Seriously though, Cobra has been quite nice to us. Thanks for the olive branch--tres sweet.) O'Hara: No meat. Vegan parade. ;D

Pros:
Covergirl really likes handcuffs.
Cons: Covergirl is extremly cranky at 9 am especially after a night of drinking.
what to do...what to do...
