2008 Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Balloon Blowup

Edited October ... 2008

Post here if you're going to attend the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Post here if you're going to watch them blow up the balloons the night before.


I've attended many balloon blowups. Lots of fun. Starts around 7:00pm on the upper westside. Continues through the night. We're meeting at Starbucks Columbus Ave and West 81 Street.

Time 7:00pm
November 27 << Wednesday night
We pushback on time.


So far:

Talking

So, this isn't anything we need to make reservations for?

And, its not until the end of November?

So, like, why do we have to sign for this now?

Well, after all, it isn't the Orange County Thanksgiving Day Parade!

If I recall correctly, Thanksgiving falls in November.

It's never to early to plan an event.

Dan, I will probably be travelling somewhere overseas during Thanksgiving week.

But if, for some reason, that doesn't look like it's going to happen, I would certainly consider coming to NYC one more time this year for the fun and festivities!

Im a possibility for the pre-parade festivities. Ive never done that before.

Sounds like fun! It always reminds me of a Seinfeld episode though.

There is a very good possibility I will be in NYC for T'Day this year. It is a little too early to know whether we would be there Wednesday evening or would be arriving early Thursday AM.

Count Jerrie and I in for the FSF and the balloon thingy too.

My sister plus two of her grown daughters who are traveling with her would also like to join in.

Is this going to be a bus event?

Maybe you can enter a float

I've wanted to do this for years, but I have Thurs-Fri-Sat off this year, and there's no way in the world the city will let me have Wednesday night off to fly back.

At the request of idsant , I'm bumping this to remind everyone that fall is in the air.

The parade is just 11+ weeks away.

Autumn in NY. It can be 25 or 70F. Come join us.

If, in addition to the holiday, you have President Elect Kerry to celebrate, it will be warm no matter what the temperature. I wish I could join you, but will be out of the country.
