    49ers are there today, I think we're sharing your holding area as well.

    Thanks so much for helping out with you contact lens solution yesterday, Irishfinn.
    You're a real lifesaver!
    (From now on I'll have a stand-by pair of contacts in the bag.)

    I still don't know how to keep food off my clothes - I really fear for my costume!

    No worries. Happy to help. I'll be taking it with me every day now just in case. Plus some deep freeze for my aching back and legs after all that walking and stepping yesterday.

    Cool. It's time to get everyone else as excited as we are. I'm just sitting up in the stands watching the run through. It was great to watch the segments after ours. It's looking good, and with the lighting and if Danny gets his way with his visceral
    Shooting and production style it'll be amazing. Though the parade is going on a bit. Who's this show all about anyhow?! ;-) I want to see how the show ends though so am sitting tight for now.
