Ok, I was wrong... but in a good way

Thankfully, we haven't had to endure bad weather-- so far, and what a blessing- God is Good! Snow is expected in around 'central' Virginia, right where we're heading, but we shouldn't experience much of it.

Our bellies are full and our spirits are high, but a 'chick flick' is now the movie of choice, The Women, how much more chick-flickish can you get!

Ok, now for some substance, our schedule. All times EST:

Tonight, we should get to our destination, Manassas, VA around 10pm
We will unpack and put our drums and other things together- not sure what time we're going to bed.

Monday, the 19th, Martin Luther King Holiday:
* 4pm, our illustrious leaders George and "Cat" Cisneros will visit the Pentagon for a briefing with the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) about the parade
* 1opm performance at the Texas Ball "Black Tie and Boots" estimated 10,000 guests!

Tuesday, the 20th, the Inauguration and Parade!
* 7am Prep and leave the Hotel
* 10am arrival at the parade site (security check, etc)
* Listen to the Swearing in ceremony over loud speaker (or hopefully television)
* Have lunch
* Wait- Wait- Wait for the parade to start
* 4:30-5:00pm-ish, parade performance. We should pass the 44th President of the United States BARACK OBAMA!

Look out for us--
We will carry a black sign with "Urban-15 Carnaval de San Anto" and our web address http://www.urban15.org (my beautiful wife will be up front w/ the sign)
Our dancers will be wearing 'patriotic' outfits w/ stars, sparkle and lights
The Drummers (which I am one) will wear mostly black w/ Blue Tux jackets
We are group #72, if you ever hear numbers called during the televised event

Here's the trusty map.


Tonight I will upload a lot of 'action photos-- exciting stuff like: unpacking the bus, putting together the drums and stars, glueing and sewing, etc... cool huh?
