Saturday, February 8, 2005
Saturday opened warm and sunny - well warm for Chicago standards anyway. After some initial confusion as to where the group photo would be taken Carl warmed up the crowd by passing out his Mardi Gras beads. I'm sure he made every gal earn them, however I failed to get even one shot of that. Still the day proved very entertaining, the route was fun the pace faster then three years ago and the picnic drier. To protect the guilty, I have very few shots of our night time fun. Save it to say I got in about 4 am. |
Now that's what I'm talking about... |
this is a Florida morning |
Dr. Dan and Carl putting on the gear |
Emily, her donut and in a Johnny Carson tribute, Carnak the Magnificent |
A sunny good morning greets those that think they know where the photo will be taken |
Now that's what I'm talking about |
Liz - and Peter |
Liz - with Phil |
Liz - at the group photo (I'm on a roll here don't stop me) |
Much less Liz |
Carl with the ladies, seconds after they've earned their beads |
Again I'm seconds late with the camera as more gals don their beads |
NSP and the SOBE police organize before the morning skate |
Skaters UP! |
Watch those feet, it's a bit tricky getting past those first fifty yards or so. |
Dr Dan with our officer on skates, HEY I hope he got his five year shirt |
Guy stretching it out a bit |
Skater UP... and down! |
The famous "gently rolling hills" of Florida |
Now that's what I'm talking about |
From the main streets to the side streets. Carl in his five year shirt |
Dr Dan showing teeth. It's fun out here. |
Like Alice through the looking glass... |
you never know what you'll find on the other side. Oh, it's Kathy... |
and our first glimpse of the candy lady or at least her candy |
and a skater from Dallas, through not really from Dallas, from Russia, but not really from Russia. |
The troops, thanks guys... |
and gals |
And a Happy Birthday goes out to Mike, see I remembered. |
Taking the photo lady's photo |
Carnak and the bobarazzi |
Dr Dan in one of many requested photo ops |
Skaters flying their colors |
Never too busy to shop |
Brian from Vancouver relaxes as Dan drifts closer to homelessness |
Kathy in her colors |
Glad to see we can get down with skate boarders |
Wait a minute, we don't get THAT down |
Dr Dan and Paris Hilton, Ms Hilton, where are you body guards when you need them? |
bobarazzi treading towards the wild side |
Is Dr Dan about to leave Connie for these hot Florida chics? |
Over what will be multiple Margaritas, Dan builds his courage |
Brian, Heidi and Mark |
Gals who need to get a life, or at least a second designer |
No Dan, don't touch it!! |
No Dan don't get on it!! |
Oh Dan, how we lived through that one I'll never know. |
