I can't believe what I just read. I am in stunned and utter shock! I cannot move. It is beyond my imagination that this actually occurred.

Oh my God...I love you and want to marry you!

Did someone say strip searches were involved?

Hey, I'm a Renegade and I'm baffled by the parking lot choice as well!

Did someone seriously just compare CALIFORNIA with Buffalo and Madison? That was funny! Seriously, there is NO incentive (or requirement) for east coast DCA corps to travel West. There never will be! (at least not in my lifetime!)

Jeff, and I believe we have buttons to prove it, right? (although I can attest to having not outlasted Mr. DeMello by any stretch of the imagination, I did in fact climb through said window!)

UPDATE: Tomorrow is May 1. For anyone interested in making a $200 donation to receive an original Renegades uniform + get a chance to win the prototype uniform, please ensure that your contribution is postmarked by tomorrow. The winner of the prototype will be announced at our show this summer! Thank you to EVERYONE who was so generous with their contributions. They rock. Now go forth and be evil! 7 P.S. - personally, I would like to see more hat options...I haven't seen enough.

Pleased to report that we received a donation from Japan!

Wow, I wonder if DCI had the same attitude, i.e. "We could live without the 2 California corps"...where would they be today. I question the intelligence of someone to even have the capacity to post that statement. For the fan base, I'm sure many in DCI thought the same---there aren't any West Coast/California fans. Pasadena sure proved them wrong, and guess what: IT DOESN'T RAIN IN CALIFORNIA IN THE SUMMER PEOPLE!!!! (there's a news flash for the rest of the 49 states). That being said: I would personally like to see DCA move OUT of the greater northeast and move to the midwest, i.e. Chicago area would be great. California would be better, but I'm a realist. Maybe someone posted all of this before in the 700 pages of this thead, if so, I just thought it should be repeated (again!).

Dear joelrules03: If you're going to criticize someone about their spelling, at least you could learn the correct way in which to use the terms: Your (actually a contraction of you and are and should be spelled: you're); as well as its in the form that you used it (again, a contraction of it and is and should be spelled: it's.

Dear Bushsop89: Congratulations on posting a candid and honest review. With regard to your comments relative to people's sensitivity: I couldn't agree with you more. Honesty is a bitter pill to swallow for most. I always say: Be honest and let me know how you like my meatloaf. If you're not honest, I'll just keep making it the same way! That being said, I do hope your death threats are kept to a minimum. Again, congratulations on sticking your neck out there for us all. Regards!
