Topic: Kaneohe x-mass parade.

 Ill keep it short for now until I see interest. As we go, we can work the details. More info is also on the official site

The tittle says it all. I can get us to participate on it, but wont do it unless we have AT THE ABSOLUTE LEAST 10 people walking at the time, not including the driver. The more people the better of course but 10 people wearing an HIpk shirt behind the truck carrying our banner shouldnt be so bad.

 We can try to put some wheels on the "Tank" (vaulting box) to push it along and do some vaulting/flips. It'd prolly be better to use Evan's since ours is already high enough and adding wheels will just make it to high.
 We can have a truck leading which we can use to do stuff off of it as well, while also carrying a cooler with our refreshments on it, maybe throwing candy, or getting people wet with a water gun if it is to hot.

 I can order fliers that we will all be passing around. We have enough time to plan this. But I need committed people that will be there if they tell me they will.

Thoughts?

Christmas parade? Too bad the site's last years, with last years rules and entry form. Sounds like lots of fun.

Official rules: "Remember, there is only ONE SANTA for the parade. His elves are the only ones who can give out candies to the children. No Participants of the Parade are allowed to give out candies." Bummers that...

I'm still working on the swimming, but nowhere near able to swim to Oahu yet So I can't commit to be there.

Wow, please guys take it easy on each other, one at the time please. I cant keep up with so many ideas.

Since you can't throw out candy... and you can't dress like Santa... 
I find stuff for 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2001... but not for 2009. That's junk.
Sure would help to know the theme, rules for this year, etc.

Get like a decently thick bamboo pole. Then can take turns having 2 guys hold [and walk] while everybody else vaults over.
Or make like a thinner pole with a light billowy flag on it. One guy can swing it, and others jump it while it's moving.

I had one idea involving a motorcycle gang, but they would have to wear reindeer horns, and only one Santa, so forget it.

Now... from reading past ones - they're gonna need elves. You could always volunteer to be elves, and get to be the guys that actually get to throw the candy.

well i could probably do it, it just depends on what day it is, and whether on not my family decides to take a trip then

[Avi K]

That would be awesome!!! Count me in!!!

[Ozzi]

I would really like this to happen, but the pace we are going seems no one is really interested on participating.

too far away for me to know what my schedule is gonna look like

[Ozzi]

You could request it at work early. gotta find out what day it is though.
