This will be the smallest turnout for the Annapolis parade ever. How unfortunate.

The medical thing is an outpatient procedure that's fairly common, just not common to me. I'm (uncharacteristicly) scared, but I should be okay.

I really want to come to these parades. If I'm feeling up for a ride, I might have Shaun (and "Decker") drive me out to Annapolis so we can watch the parade. As much as I would love to have a couple adult beverages with my hot dogs, I can't partake in THAT sort of conviviality! But I would love to see the group, watch how the crowd responds to our MINIs, and otherwise have a good time with a pack of fun people.

Whether I make it out there or not, have a ball and take lots of pictures!

In post #25 I offered to pass them along to another DCMMer who will be attending the parades. I live in WV, but drive to the Tyson's area every weekday for work. I'm happy to meet someone at a convenient time/place before the 3rd.

perhaps J, you could bring plates and stuff...doesn't have to be a lot, since the turnout is so small

Are there lat/long coordinates of the meeting point prior to parade one so I can throw it into my GPS?

Katie, what time do you plan on setting out? I don't trust myself with the directions and was wondering if I could follow you from your place? I think your closest to my route down...

Since I don't have my mini yet, I'm assuming my bmw isn't allowed in any parades, and that's cool. But would I be allowed on the drives? I love twisty roads, especially when there are other people to share my love of them with.

I have just recently joined up with the DCMMers. I am planning on participating in the capitol hill portion of the parade. I am a little unsure if I need to sign up or anything like that. If you could let me know I would appreciate it. If all I need to do is make a posting. Well, then this is my post. Thanks a lot.

If it's not too late to sign up I would like to participate in the first parade. Wish I could join in the afternoon fun, but I have to smoozle at a customers party. Fair warning - my decorations involve bubbles...

The parades are Mini only but of course we want you with us on the drives!
We may give you a hard time about being a counterfeit mini though....
