Oh nice little reminder, jcruise!

If anyone missed it, this little gem of an announcement was tucked in the bottom of David Koenig's article posted this week:

:D I just looked it up before coming to the boards. I thought I had forgot and missed it. I'm going to try and make it. Anyone else?

I wish.
In fact I'm more jealous of those going to this free event than I am those who will attend the $1,500 Pirate movie.
(I am impressed that the Pirates event will raise a lot of money for charity though.)

I really wish that I could go to this. Guess Ill be at the next best place though. It sucks that I didn't find out about this earlier, otherwise I might have tried to get the time off from DLR to go to it. Maybe I can ER and just go in full costume... That would be an experience in and of its self.

I hope someone from here is going so that we can at least get a synopsis of what happened. I look forward to it. So someone better be going.

I'm going for sure!

I work for the city and read about it a while back and we've had flyers all over the parks recently. I wouldn't miss this for anything!

Only 50 minutes to go! :-D

Ah, wish I would have time to check the boards before I went. I was there, the one taking pictures. Anyway, I'm at work right now, I'll post a report and a couple of pictures tonight after I get home. :cool:
