Excellent!

No. Keeping it simple. Truck is still a likely option to drag the wookiee around though

Good to hear. This event is in my top 3

Check in/ arrival In general, check-in for the march will be located on the front lawn of MacDonough School. Only one member of your group should check in at MacDonough School upon your arrival, no need to have your entire group walk over to the check in area! Marchers should arrive to their staging area between 12 and 12:30 p.m. The march will begin at 1:00 p.m. SHARP, so don’t be late!!! Streets will be congested leading up to and surrounding the march lineup, so plan to arrive/ be dropped off earlier than you would anticipate. High Street is the main street of travel for the entire area surrounding the march, so expect delays. Rally point / Contact: Primary Contact - Joe Civitello - FB Messenger / Text 813-362-1812 Once i know where we're staged Either I or some other CTG personnel will be staged at the Perkatory Parking lot off of north main street to collect lost souls and direct them to the stepoff point. Where do i change? Parking lot of your choice. Below are some suggested parking areas for the parade. I would suggest one of the ones about mid-way down main street because you'll have to walk back to your car after Designated lineup street: Still waiting for final marching orders Parking info The march will travel the entire length of Main Street meaning that there is not one central parking location for participants. Public parking lots are located at the following: Kidcity lot off of Broad St Russell Library lot off of Broad St Melilli Parking lot next to City Hall DO NOT park in the Metro Square Movie Theater Lot!!!!! General event reminders The march is about ¾ of a mile long, so please wear comfortable shoes and bring water/ sunscreen!!! A little reminder: if you are passing out candy, giveaways, etc. please pass them to folks along the street- do not toss from the middle of the street. We have found that when marchers throw candy/ goodies to the spectators it unintentionally encourages people to begin crowding the street creating a funnel, and we would hate for someone to get hurt collecting candy! Portable toilets will be located in the back parking lot of MacDonough School. We will have standard and accessible portable toilets in place. RSVP on the forums and sign up on the google doc for coordination please.

Yes, i believe @Alay is heading up that one. Middletown Pride is one of the "we're probably gonna do this every year" because it's a super fun day and it gives me an excuse to throw a party as well.

If you're paying someone to build just make Sure the files are sized to your body. It's a TON of plastic and much of it is very specifically fitted to your body

Meant big not bug. Fat fingers

I'm not sure about clones. I know they're a bug undertaking though. Ronan @anerdyguy can probably point you in the right direction

Link to sign up for the parade and dinner is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RinmKHH2zO71lMQMrTQhP5l431-WjmTnTJ7NBsbord4/edit?usp=sharing AFTER PARADE DINNER - St Patrick's Day Post Parade Dinner Info Dinner will be held at J-Roos 243 State Street, North Haven, CT 06473 We will have buffet style dining. Food, soda and tip will end up being $27.50 per head payable to treasury@ctg501.com. Any booze or extras you'll have to start your own tab. Please make payment ASAP so we can start getting a final head count for the order. I try to be as accommodating as possible and as conscious of everyone's situation as I can, so if anyone would like to attend but the price point is a factor, please contact me offline and we can work something out. ************************************************************************************************** PARADE INFO We usually rally at the Granite Street Garage on the parking list early so we have enough time to BS and kit up before shuttles go to the step off point at 11am. Please plan accordingly. Its never fun rushing or leaving people behind in the garage as they get their kits together. Game day: 9-10am - Arrive at Granite Street Garage (It's not a huge garage so the earlier the better. around 10-10:30 it starts to fill up. Secondary lot parking is also available (see attached parking info) 11am - First shuttles to rally point 1:30 - Parade Start 2-230 ish - Step off for our club Once at step off we'll mill around for an hour or two prior to the march and CTG will set marching order once everyone is there. GENERAL INFO PARKING: Parking for Participants ONLY is available at the Granite Square Parking Garage. The parking structure is located at 690 State Street, New Haven CT 06511 between Audubon Street & Trumbull Street. The entrance to this lot is via State Street ONLY. One occupant vehicles will not be permitted to park in this lot. (IF YOU ARRIVE EARLY NOBODY CHECKS) Yale University Parking Lot #16 & #22 have been reserved for one occupant vehicles. Yale Lots # 16 & 22 are located at the intersection of Whitney Avenue & Humphrey Street. Entrance from Whitney Avenue. Shuttle buses will be available for transportation to the assembly area from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. from both parking areas There will be no return shuttle buses at the end of the parade. We'd like to have everyone ready and suited up by the time the first shuttle roles out, so plan your arrival to accommodate this. A 9:00 - 10am arrival may be best to avoid traffic and complications and to ensure you have space to park. I'm a big fan of "the earlier the better" so nobody ends up in any kind of rush. There will likely be some standing around and general milling about and drinking coffee in the lot before we start getting dressed in earnest, but it's a lot better than rushing around. We are being bussed to the staging area, so there won't be anywhere for you to store anything. Whatever you have with you when you leave the lot will be with you for the rest of the day. There will NOT be any shuttle buses returning to the Yale Lot 16 at the end of the Parade. The end of the parade is about a 2 block walk from the parking garage PARADE INFORMATIONAL PDFS AND PARKING PASSES ATTACHED TO THIS POST! Topic is for discussion of event.
