700,000+ twelves!

Thanks to a little kick-in-the-pants from Schmub I pulled some strings with TheMommy (not very hard mind you) and took The Mermaids to downtown Seattle today for a little event, just a few people, some mellow cheering, it was sorta chilly –

annnnnnd if you believe that I have some Superbowl rings in Denver to sell you.

There were Batman and Riddlers on roller skates, crazy 12 year old boys with no shirts on running up and down the street, and Partybots?!

Whatever…

The girls were more or less happy in their “peep-hole” – a hole created in a seemingly endless sea of standing people known for it’s relevancy mostly to short people (height challenged) and children.

I gotta say, my immediate neighbors, were very courteous and Seattle-like. Ken (from Michigan) even helped guard my Mermaids from any way-wards – there weren’t any – and offered his shoulders as a platform for one of them should they need it – they didn’t.

After about an hour delay – and two more inches of frost-bite, the Hawks started rolling; first the receivers. I think that would be (L to R) Sidney Rice, Bryan Walters, Jermaine Kearse (Tacoma Native), and Doug Baldwin.

Beast came along 1st actually – and you could tell he was smiling under his superhero-mask. I included this still from a video I took because I’m here to say that, somewhere Marshawn is reviewing his recording and when he does he will see me on his tape – just like I see him on mine.

Yeah me and about 700,000 other crazies…but still.

It was quite the party – so much cheering – my voice hadn’t even recovered from the game, and now it’s back to square one, but I will certainly take today to the memory bank for a deposit; I hope The Mermaids can too.

UPDATE: Tony took in the sights from his office window – we couldn’t know how close to each other we really were because communication via cell and iMessage was largely unavailable; something about a crowd of people in the area.

Anyway – I knew I was close to him from the only text that got thru from TheMommy, and I even thought he might hear me start a cheer or two (which I did). But alas, he was indoors.

Here is where we were. I had NO idea there were so many people behind us!
