Colts---

In 2004, the 4 members of the front-seat coalition of the 2004 Butt-Party actually CANCELLED 'the game'. Being that we were, after all, the front-seat coalition, we had ultimate power. ^0^

Word. The black was cool at first, but I think pretty much a lot of people miss the cream. I do, anyway. The only thing about the cream that I really hated was how it made those of us with any kind of "shape" whatsoever look like we had a type of gland issue. If they wouldn't have refitted them suffocatingly tight every other week. That was a gas... Back to the topic at hand though... I've seen the 06 corps a few times now, and yeah. They're simply amazing this time around. After 4 or so years, they've FINALLY figured everything out in dubuque.

The 2003 Colts. Eeeshk.

Believe me... the members hate 'em too.

As they were moving the props off the field last night in WV, one of the postcards' support beams snapped back and nailed one of the bus driver's head. She was taken to the hospital and needed stitches. The corps was delayed leaving the show for a couple of hours while she was away.

Update. And now they're actually sending people to the hospital. Wonderful.

By the way Colts have them too.

It's awesome how something, once inspirational, has become something so pathetically trendy...

Having seen the show a few times with the postcards in, and a few runthroughs without them -- they do not use them in rehearsal -- they add absolutely NOTHING to the show. Their staging on the field is more or less out of the way, despite the fact that the printing on them is too small to read from the stands. They ARE a distraction... in fact, for the morning show in Indy, Colts staff/volunteers actually pushed the postcards out into the end-zone DURING the Mandarins opener. I was standing in the tunnel leading into the stands (right around side 2's 40), and as soon as they wheeled them out, the entire audience turned their heads away from the Mandarins on the field to witness 3 colorful billboards-on-wheels being maneuvered along the endzone wall. It's not too late to scrap them, but the fact is the orginaztion paid a fair amount of money to have them designed and manufactured. I highly doubt they would just throw away all that money like that.

Postcard update: They're out of the show once again, this time due to being too huge to fit through the tunnel in Foxboro. For the next few days they're gonna knocking them down and rebuilding them to make them fit within the size limitations for Gillette. ETA: Indy, hopefully.

Seriously guys... He speaks the truth. His face was HUGE! (like HUGE!!!)

Maybe someone said "the word"! B)

Aww you beat me to it. Yeah, everyone's fine, just a little shaken up, especially when the ambulances came. But they're on their way once again to San Antonio, just a little delayed. :)

I am currently on the phone with my girlfriend, a guard member in Colts. One of the busses, Twit, was involved in a car accident on the freeway leaving the Dallas show. It JUST happened, so details are extremely sketchy, all I know is that the convoy is pulled over on the side of the highway, and ambulances have arrived. I'll update this with any information when it becomes available.
