FINAL PARADE UPDATE : Barricades erected in North End......................................... 11:00 PM Vehicles and Large Floats arrive ………….............................. 11:30 PM Marchers arrive ………….……………………….............…………….. ARRIVE WITH ENOUGH TIME TO BE DRESSED AND READY AT LEAST 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO STEP OFF. PLAN ACCORDINGLY. March starts…………………………………………………...…………....... 1:00 PM FORMATION AREA: DIVISION 3 - PEASE AVE & STACK STREET INTERSECTION THERE WILL BE NO SHUTTLING FROM MY PLACE - Walt got tied up this weekend and we won't have the ability to dress at my place and shuttle to the form area. So it's parking lot dressing - Please be prepared for this LACK OF SHUTTLE SERVICE MEANS YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR WAY BACK TO YOUR VEHICLES AFTER THE PARADE PARKING: The closest parking lot to the step off point is in front of Perkatory Coffee Roasters. If you get there early there should be plenty of parking if you want to be close to step off. The bad part is you'll have to walk the entire route back to your car once we break off at the south end park. The "middle ground" area is the Melili lot. Closest to break off area is the lot next to metro movies. NOT THE METRO MOVIES LOT THEY WILL TOW YOU. Choose the parking and dressing situation that best suits your needs. DURING THE PARADE: Costumed characters will be in formation (more or less) Handlers will be posted on the outside of the formation to prevent the crowd from approaching the costumed members. EVERYONE WHO IS ARRIVING AS A HANDLER WILL BE EXPECTED TO ACT AS A HANDLER DURING THE PARADE. I know everyone wants to have a good time but parades can get difficult sometimes so handlers will be expected to help out. If there are people just hanging around and not helping they will be asked to leave the parade group. AFTER THE PARADE: Cookout at my place if you're feeling froggy. 33 Wall Street. It's about a mile from the end of the parade route If you have questions either text me or message me on facebook day-of and I'll get to your messages as I can. Don't call. I wont hear it and I'll be too busy. 813-362-1812 All the information you'll need to know is posted here or around this thread so if i you can't get in touch with me I promise the answers are here somewhere. Heres a map of the area to give you guys a visual See you soon!

With handlers/wranglers accompanying you they don't have to be a member of the group but it's important to remember that they are your responsibility and their behavior reflects on you and their ability to continue to contribute. Should be fine as long as they don't cause an outright problem I'd leave it at home. It will end up being more trouble than it's worth. I'll have my motorcycle which has a trunk if needed for waters or small stow aways

Reminder about the post parade chill at my place
