^ Only in New York...

 

Mike, I'm curious; of the stage shows you've seen (so far) this year, which one (play or musical) have you enjoyed the most? It doesn't matter if it's old or a new one. I'm just curious, lol.

 

And all I can add is... "GO CREDITWHORE GO!"

 

 

Seasonally-Adjusted Greetings, buddy.

Bill, my favorite musicals were Wicked and Jersey Boys, and my favorite play was an off Broadway show called Fault Lines.

 

 

Craig, I stared at that avatar and still cannot see you in it lol.

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

Wow, Mike, great shots from the big Ferris wheel (and of Radio City Music Hall, too)! Guess now everyone knows where the sign in esvadj's avatar is located.

 

I saw it, and that was the first thing I thought. Great trip report Big Mike and great pictures taken from the ferris wheel.

 

I really wanted to meet you guys there; but, when I saw the date I knew I had better be somewhere else....

That was the day my daughter was born...

Got a quick bite to eat at Chuck's cat's restaurant "Angus McNasty's".

 

Did you have a can of Fancy Feast Turkey and Gravy Dinner? That's his favorite.

 

Did you check out the haunted house ride at Trimper's? I think that's the best thing there.

Posted

I did, and I agree. I was going to show that coming up on its own. I really liked that a lot!

 

That cat meal was indeed what I had lol.

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

Hey Mike, I'm getting caught up. I really like the Shepard Smith photos. We'll have to go to Fox News the next time I come out.

 

I'm sorry about the court injunction that is putting the ducky game on hold, but we had to do what we had to do!!!

Hi Friends!!!!!

 

The Big Mike Road Show 2008 continued through Ocean City Maryland to Jolly Roger on the Pier!

 

I don't think I mentioned this yet, but it was my first trip ever to Ocean City and I enjoyed it completely.

 

 

I have also added last week's trip to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for your viewing enjoyment so you can see how Big Mike spends his coaster off-season.

 

 

Thanks for your continued support everybody!!!

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

It's time for the parade!!!! Even though it is the 82nd annual, this is Renee's first time seeing it in person and she is excited! I topped her though, it is Big Mike's first time seeing Renee in person, and I am ultra excited! Parade photos next report!!! Hope you enjoyed! Peace, Big Mike

These were the super special VIP seats saved only for the EXTREMELY important people...

... or were a guest of someone who had a couple :)

... well that is unless you had a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade VIP Pass...

071.JPG.9bf71aaa08019b9dad9c8379c91f5261.JPG

The square where everyone performed, the lights, the tv crews, and the announcers were barricaded off and no one was allowed access...

073.JPG.63545491c26e8aa850ded2b7908e0d77.JPG

Big Mike was thrilled and delighted to be sharing this fun time with TPR Super Hottie Renee (Nay). Renee was my inspiration to run all those 1/4K races at the rope drops at the parks.

062.JPG.b0a22371ed46aac45ad2f315246d69ac.JPG

Very early the next morning, 5:18am to be exact, the city was still busy and preparing for the big parade.

VIP passes in hand.

Now we switch back to last week, where I had to head into NYC to pick up the VIP parade passes.

Thanks Jason for coming out to say hello, visiting 3 parks with me, and filling me in on everything Ocean City!

A guy hanging! The pictures don't do this justice, I finally found a ride through haunted house to take the top spot from Knoebels in my opinion.

Jason was a great tour guide of Ocean City, and he actually has a book published on that very topic and decided to show me some sights.

Jolly Roger at the Pier, the 83rd stop on The Big Mike Road Show 2008!

^I agree, how do you get such great seats????

 

I really would love to see the parade in person someday, the pics and the trip report was great.

 

I am also glad you enjoyed Ocean City, MD (since I can claim it as a home park)

Posted

I love those small parks like Ocean City. I really like the crappy haunted houses they all have that special atmosphere.

 

The 1001 Nacht must be an imported dutch fun fair ride.

Wow, I had forgotten about a lot of the stuff we did that day, including Marty's Playland! It sucks that I had to leave for my friend's wedding before I could hit the other Jolly Roger with you. But hey, at least the bridesmaids were cute!

Hey Friends!!!

 

The next and final stop on the Ocean City Maryland Tour of The Big Mike Road Show 2008 was Jolly Roger Amusement Park!

 

The first half of this report will be the park, while the last part of the report will be all the pictures from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade I took while proudly being accompanied by Renee!

 

 

The next round of the Find the Ducky Contest will be 2 reports away after this one, so get those ducky detectives ready!

 

 

Also, the very next trip report is a MUST SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not only does the Big Mike Road Show 2008 have the debut of Bobbi Jo, it has Big Mike with a MAJOR CELEBRITY!!!

 

This is not a Z-lister or even a D-lister, this is a bonafide A-list actor or actress hanging out with Big Mike!!!!

 

The thread is now open for guesses

 

 

I hope you enjoy!

 

 

Peace, Big Mike

279.JPG.c98d5dd47382f28e9e3e50e7bebff998.JPG

... Renee!!!!

 

Hope you enjoyed and post thoses guesses on the A-List Celebrity that Big Mike hung out with this past weekend!!! Peace, Big Mike

257.JPG.32a084c7e6ed937b3ad02416fa5e59bc.JPG

The parade was a fantastic time with lots of confetti and lots of great things to see, but Big Mike's most favorite thing he saw today was...

235.JPG.0906e8bd6bce0c4ed08206182fe01a49.JPG

Damn! What did I just step in??? Only on The Big Mike Road Show! LOL

234.JPG.69b22c7f4c0e17d8d43bd746ae9c5a19.JPG

The marching band marching in a straight line though is trouble! Notice all the flattened piles already!

220.JPG.6e67d9c243d446f70c88f0baf9f077fb.JPG

With no backup plan, they try to direct marchers away from the piles. The balloon people can easily avoid it.

205.JPG.23476a8b077ac6637c28723b24de74bc.JPG

This is the end result of the 2nd set of horses with noone to clean it up.

159.JPG.19039609cc4e5d67282824be9a442ecc.JPG

Actually, these guys are the most underrated of all. They follow the horses and clean up the poop! There must have been cutbacks this year, becuase there were two sets of horses and only these guys followed the first set.

When we left off on the last update, Renee and Big Mike were sitting in the VIP seats watching the parade! Everyone wrote me and said "great seats!", but are they really?? Take a look at this picture. What is wrong with these seats?? You can't see the baloons!!!! I called the Macy's Rep over and told her I don't like these seats. She said WHAT??? I want new seats I said. We were then escorted to an auxiliary VIP section, front row on the street!! Much better!

Regis Philbin? He seems like the kind of celebrity I would want to hang out with. Or perhaps maybe Bette Midler? She seems like she is cool also. Talk about crazy guesses! Can't wait for my big debut!---Bobbi Jo

Big Mike I am not surprised that you have now moved up to the A-List. It seems like that appearance on Leno was a launching point for you. The skies the limit for you now. Lets hope that you don't forget us little people here at TPR. Anyway I have no idea what celebrity you hung out with, I will just have to wait for the next edition of the Enquirer to come out at the market I guess. Thanks for the pictures.
