Howdy! ('Glad to see I'm not the only person checking this thread... ) Have a super-terrific weekend!

 

[Marshay]

Oh, I'm here still checking as well!

Hi all!!

 

[DSNY4ever]

Still checking in too! I am loving seeing all of these beautiful cities where everyone lives...wishing gas was not so expensive so I could cross the country! Atlanta looks beautiful and there seems to be lots to do. I loved seeing where the Cabbage Patch Kids are from- when I first started reading it I thought...women have their babies there? Don't they go to hospitals- haha good thing I kept reading!

I can't wait to see the other adventures along the way!

Let me go ahead and apologize for the long break between Kigerkats part of the trip and mine. Atlanta looked like such a great place to visit, we've decided to make a trip there ourselves. We're about to go out the door now. We won't be back until late Sunday night, so look for my part of the road trip to start sometime Monday.


Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Hey MadBrad!! DH and I are headed to the Aquarium today with some friends we haven't seen in a long, long time. Maybe we'll see you there! Wait, I don't know what you look like... Well, maybe we'll both be there today but we won't see each other. I just hope it's not as crowded as it was a couple of months ago!

 

[FirstTimeCaller]

Hey, it looks like the party bus is taking a bit of a break. That gives me chance to catch back up with you guys...

 

[Justin M]

Hi guys!!!

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to be a part of the amazing road trip! The cities I have been able to catch as I've popped occasionally look amazing! I think I might have to drive to WDW sometime soon just so I can make a point to spend a few days in Atlanta on my way down!

Just wanted to let you know that I am back from my first CMO trip. I've posted just a few greetings on the Adventurosity Club thread and I hope to have another CMO question thread up in a day or two. I hope all is well with my Dis friends and I can't wait to reconnect with you all soon!!!

Welcome back, Justin! I saw the article Cat posted (about your participation in the Toy Story Mania press event). How cool is that?!?

Link to AllEars.net article: "Media Preview Day at Disney's Hollywood Studios"

I know that two of the panelists (Bret and Kara) from Disney's "Moms" Panel also were supposed to be in attendance. Did you get a chance to meet them?

Anyway, thanks for hopping on the Party Bus to say "Hello!" Please post a link to your new CMO-related thread once you introduce it!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Wow, FTC! You sure know how to travel in style!

Yeah, I'm still playing catch-up, too! (I'm catching bits and pieces of our trip in little installments -- whenever I get the chance...)

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

'Just passed this lovingly decorated van en route to our next destination... (Actually, I think it's a little off our charted path, but I'm certain we'll still manage to make it to Alabama okay! )

Ahhhh! ('Looks like I'm reading things in reverse order. I just saw your most recent posts on "The Adventurosity Club" thread. Once you get your new threads ready, just say the word, and I'd be happy to post links from here. (Also, I'll try to do a bit of brainstorming when I get the chance. I'd love to help out...)

.....

Do you remember when the interstate heading towards the beach (I-264) used to be a toll road?!?

Sure do! And it was called 44...and the exit ramps were all tolls as well. And you are probably the only other person who knows what I mean when I refer to the "feeder roads" on Va. Beach Blvd.

 

[spreadingpixiedust]

hello everyone! sorry I have not been around. Work has been very busy. In fact I am headed out of town so will not be able to show you around my city. Sorry for the forced detour but I just got the word that I need to fly out today.

Tyler Texas will miss you!

 

[BigThunderMtn]

Yay! 'Tunes for the road!

I have another music pick that sort of fits the current mood:

James Taylor's "Traffic Jam"

(Extraneous "Fluff": I posted this video, 'cuz I'm a fan of this particular version of James Taylor's song. I truly "get" that the protesters in the video don't want a Wal*Mart in the middle their neighborhood --
but I'll admit that I sometimes shop there... )

I am partial to this one.

Weird Al Yankovic - "Traffic Jam"

I just voted for your bags again but didn't look around the site...how are your bags doing?

Thanks! I am in the Top 200

I only need 20,000+ more to break the Top 10. LET'S RALLY!!!!!!!!

I think they should have handled this similar to the CMO stuff. Kroger should pick their Top 100 or less and then let the people vote. More than 40,000 entries make it difficult for people to see your designs. If you don't have a lot of friends and family or don't know the best place to market your designs then you are out of luck. Plus I think there are some SHENANIGANS (any bets on how long before you know who catches this?) with some of the Top 10 votes. Some folks have had their designs removed for that...but I have to believe that the #1 bag is way to high to be legit (plus it isn't all that good) and there is another that was just created a couple days ago and it has almost 40,000 votes. It is good, but not that good.

I'll keep on fighting to the end though. Pass it along to all of your friends and friends friends and so on. Lets see what kind of rally we can put together in 4 days.

SHENANIGANS

You said SHENANIGANS!

I'm not sure if it worked (I should have looked at the vote count when I tried!), but I think it let me vote once through Mozilla and then once through IE. Then I voted again through a server RDC. So, if it worked then that equals 3 votes from me, and then I'll vote again when I get home (and I'll try the Mozilla/IE thing again).

 

[KigerKat]

I guess I could go to everyone's computer at work and try to vote for you as well...
