Token Yankee Guy Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Nice rainbow shot. I would have thought your cell phone would be destroyed by the hail. What compelled you to get whacked on the head with ice? hail didn't bother me, it wasn't big enough to do any damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 And sporting the FASHIONABLE line of TPR warez, we have Craig, the yankee, who desperately needs to learn how to not look like a tourist in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 hail didn't bother me, it wasn't big enough to do any damage More or less, just sleet? I can't remember the last time we had actual hail around here... don't think we got any last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatality Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 There was Hail!?! Over here in Valencia rained just a little bit. Right now it's going to be partly cloudy. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Yankee Guy Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 March 12th: SFMM & TPR Party Hey Guys, I'm in my hotel room at Valencia now, yesterday was a blast at SFMM and the party afterwards. At SFMM we had 2hrs of ERT on Goliath and Viper. X was supposed to be included, but it took a little longer than expected to get it warmed up, but SFMM graciously let us walk up the exit ramp after the Ride World lunch. After that I went around the park in a clockwise motion with Martin and then met up with Shaun and his friends. Around 5ish, we headed over to the TPR party where I was the brunt of a lot of jokes because, well, I bring it on myself, but I don't care. I still had a great time. So in the end, I'd like to thank Chris and Nataliee (I hope I spelled it right) from RideWorld for hosting the excellent event at SFMM. Even though the Goliath tour was cancelled and X wasn't ready for our ERT, I still had a great time and I really appreciate it. I'd also like to thank Robb and Elissa for holding an excellent party where their was some great food, games, and me acting like a total tool by saying KBF was where a screaming squirral was. I had a blonde moment! I thought a screaming Squirral was the Screamin' Swing. Now for some photos This was the straggler group that was left after most of the people left. Thanks again Robb & Elissa for holding the party Robb shows off the many beers that were provided at the party. Luckly no TPR members got drunk and started stripping. No one needs ot see that. Robb and I Elissa and I My slow New Englander mind is preventing me from properly opening a box of nerds.. Here I am trying one of Robb's hot wings. Shaun and Mike show off their mini painting kits that they got in their goodie bag Robb making an announcement that dinner was here. I also blinded him in the process Ted and John were also there Monica, Wally, and Katrina at the party This ride was my favorite back during the Riverside Era (Pre SFNE). Last time I rode one was almost 10 years ago. So it was good to ride one again Our boat was flooded with water. Shaun and Mike on Jet Stream. Tatsu being constructed Monica, Ted, and Katrina at the Ride World Lunch. Shaun and group riding Supa-Supa-Supaman! Inside the station Yeah, first rider for X for the day....after waiting almost 2hrs with Martin and Jeremy Ted and Catrina...or Katrina, I'm not sure, but I know Ted will come in and probably correct me. Who are these crazy kids? Quality SFMM water fountain Monica and Wally decline to ride Viper, but Martin rode with me, and got injured on while riding. And here's the less attractive Token Yankee trying to show off his junk in da trunk. Here's our lovely monica modeling the car. Transportation in SFMM is provided by this sexy car. Guy was their, and he was cold, but I was slightly cold since I'm used to this weather Heading to Goliath Main Entrance We're here!

Fatality Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I saw you Craig, but I didn't get the chance to say Hey! lol. I was wearing my pandemic t-shirt, on top with my Dickies Jacket & my cousin was right next to me. I was like hey! he looks familiar. So many people were wearing the TPR Sweaters at SFMM, I should get one. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Yankee Guy Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 So I am finally back home, I shedded a tear when it temperature was in the 30's and we had some snow on the ground. But now that I'm home, I can finish the last two days of my trip so here we go March 13th - Sightseeing across LA When Don came and picked Monica and I up, he took me around to check out some sites for example, chinese theater, tar pits, and a stop over to the pacific ocean. When we also checked into our hotel. Later that day we met up with Martin and we all went out to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney, then watched the fireworks from the entrance plaza between DL and DCA ummmm, I can't remember what we were doing....but yeah, turns out their were signs that said no one was allowed on that part of the beach. The pacific ocean Everyone loves tar! Yeah, Hollywood sign Why the hell is Destiny's Child getting a star? Me at the Kodak Theater I took this picture, just for my Mom Samuel L. Jackson has bigger hands than me Me and Superman, the same superman that was featured on a Daily Show segment. The chinese theater, with Jedi Mickey Mouse on the side Ooooo, Walt Disney's Star Driving down Hollywood Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
