So … where was I?  Oh, yes.  Saturday morning comes, and we’re up pretty early.  The parade starts at 10 a.m., so I’ve got to get up and get into my outfit.

We walk toward Woodruff Park to meet everyone, and all along the way are people pointing and smiling, “Oh, look!  A Ghostbuster!”  Pretty cool walking around town like that, people asking how I got the proton pack, taking pictures …

We get to the parade lineup, and there had to be close to 3,000 people all around.  I found my group, which wound up being about 47 ‘Busters in all.  The parade started, and I’d have to say we were easily the crowd favorites.  We had an Ectomobile that was converted from a Dodge Magnum, and we all walked around it yelling things like “Ghostbusters!
