Congratulations on being in the "Macy's Day Parade!" It's something I
always wanted to do, but our little club never organized itself enough
to round up a video of us parading, which the Macy's organization
required for new entries.

I'm not sure how it works today, but in the past there have kind of
been two Macy's Parades. There's the one that's a parade, that was
usually televised locally from the Columbus Circle area, and the "TV
Special" that comes from the street outside the big Macy's store. The
difference between those "two" parades is that one looks like a parade
(with big balloons), and the other one is filled with celebrity
appearances and broadway show numbers. Most of that is only at the
Macy's location, but not in the whole parade. I'm not sure how much of
the "real" parade gets shown on TV outside the NY metropolitan area.

Are you a member of the Gym Dandies, and is that the group that will be
performing? 56 is a huge number of giraffes, so it should look really
cool!

Riding in those big parades is fun Especially on a giraffe in the snow!

Ya we are not sure if we will be on TV or not, we hope so though. There
is like a star thing that is the preforming area and we have a little
routine to do there.

Yep my brother and I are in the Gym Dandies. We have done parades with
~90 giraffes, but you have to be 12 or older to be in the parade so
that cut down on the numbers and a lot of people couldn't do it because
they were going on vacations.

The production company I work for produces teh television coverage of
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and has for the past 12 years. It's
not anything I work on but i know that we sent out releases to all the
bands and groups that will be shown on television, have you and your
group signed releases? If not your chances of being on the show are
zero.

I'll ask around on monday though, and see if you're in the script

Nice!
What is a group of giraffes called? Is it a heard, or do we call them a
wobble as well?

I noticed that everyone has helmets, kneepads and elbowpads. Is this
required for your club or the parade or both? No gloves or maybe I just
missed them...

I don't wear them unless they force me to. Like during parades and at
this practice they were filming for the news.

So ya only a few more days till the parade. I am still interested in
meeting up with some unicyclist after the parade. I especially want to
try The Harper/Holm/HCR uber coker. (HRC please PM me)

Around here we have been on the news a lot lately. Here are 3 or 4
separate newscast edited into one video:

personally, i'd think it'd be easier to just call a group of UNICYCLISTS
in general a wobble.
