Superbowl Sunday-- NOT

[furtech]

So does anyone have any polite suggestions for stuff to do on Superbowl Sunday? I'm not a big football fan, so usually me and my nerdy friends head out to some venue that is normally packed. In the past it had been Disneyland: you could literally -walk- onto rides, even the newer ones. These days, others have figured that one out and D'land is busier than normal on SBS.

The beach? In previous years we'd take the dogs there, but Frieda'd not enjoy it as much these days and few of us are sun-worshipers.

Anyone? Anyone? Class?

I'm sorry-- I missed that you actually -work- at the park! That's cool-- what area do you work in?

Thanks for the parade info: I like to see the new parades and see what they've come up with, costume-wise. A big chunk of what I've learned in costuming is studying parade and ice-show costumes (which need to be tough, yet allow the performer to do an ice routine or parade route).

I'm terrible with names and faces...triply so when I rarely see some people out of costume or hear their RL names. And I'm slow to add to the LJ list: it's nothing personal, but the list is the people I hang out with and share interests with. If someone friends me and I don't know them, I'll poll their journal for a few weeks to see if we share enough interest. Even then, some people I either don't add or remove because it's clear we share no interests or they have cluttery journals (only memes or HUGE posts about stuff I'm not interested in or no posts at all). Has little correlation as to whether I like them as people or not.

I work with Entertainment. I'm Eric. I am new to custom costume making and admire your work tremendously. Aside from that, I meet you while you were scurrying to your next panel session at FC 2005 so I doubt you remember me.

Wow-- thanks for the props! Yeah, I think I over-committed at FC this year. I had a better time last year when I hung out a lot more.

Maybe you can answer a question about the D'land costumes that I've been trying to figure out for some time now: many years ago, when they released "Oliver and Company" they made a set of costumes of the main characters, including Oliver, Dodger, Einstein, Tito and Georgette. Did they also make costumes of Rita, Roscoe (or DeSoto) or Francis? I saw the parade they were in on a weekday, and it's possible that I saw the small crew (as opposed to the weekend full complement). Any info would be appreciated!

They have a Francis too! Uber cute. He was on on the back of the float tucked away where not many could see him. No Rita/Rosco
