Nothing yet. I am waiting until this weekend, then I'm giving up. Supposedly, they said anywhere between the start of August to two weeks out. All I know is all the spots for vehicles in the parade are taken up, but that doesn't apply to us.

Okay, I finally got the email from the parade organizers. We are assigned 25 ribbons, so we can have 25 marchers with our unit. We are assigned to the American Sci-fi/ fantasy section, and it looks like we are smack dab in the middle of the parade. Arrival times are between 9 and 940. The staging address is 607 Peachtree Street NE – North Avenue Presbyterian Church, Parking Lot. If you plan on marching, be there no later than 940. In the past we've walked over from the Hilton, however there are shuttles run through dragoncon if you do not wish to walk to the staging point. I will pick up the ribbons from the organizer on thursday, so I will make sure to bring them for everyone. According to the email, the last people should be walking into the Marriot (end of the parade route) by 1145, so we should have 45 minutes to get to the photo shoot after the parade.

If you want to be part of the parade, please sign up below. You can also "attend" by clicking on the view in calendar, and select attend event. Excited to be returning to the parade! Any questions, please ask away.

*edit* as a reminder, we do not know how warm it will be in the morning, so things like smartgunners, xenos costumes, or environmental suits might be too warm, so plan accordingly*

Another great parade. We were on television with the new QR code to the forum. Good turnout, wonderful weather and a blast had by all. Plans for next year.
