The shuttle sucked, but the parade was awesome

My hats off to those who went. I literally live right off I-35 southbound at 95th. I can see north and southbound traffic on the highway from my living room. I noticed it started slowing to crazy "there's a massive car pileup crash" type speeds northbound lanes at probably 745am. By 9it was worse. By like 1030 it was thinning out but not by much.

Incredible. I knew it would be nuts but not until I saw pictures on CPand on the news did I full comprehend it.

Props to you guys.

We walked down main from Linwood, where the shuttle dropped us, and straight through that crowd all the way towards the front of the stage.


Crazy shit.

We worked our way to probably 300 yards away and could still barely see. Still well worth it. Rally got done a little after 3, we walked back to the bus pick up spot and they were estimating a 2 hour wait to get on the bus. So we walked up main to the plaza and got picked up and taken back to the zoo. When we got there, maybe a 1/4th of the cars were gone.
We parked there at10:30. Waited in line two hours, then took us two and a half to get back AFTER we got on the ****ing bus.

It was more of a joke count than anything

173,800

Obviously organizers had no way of predicting that half the ****ing city would show up and thought for with that crowd, it went relatively smoothly. The big thing is how cordial literally everyone was down there. Freaking way to represent KC. I have no complaints on how anything went down. If people just expected to roll up into downtown at 1130, that's on them. I thought I was fine getting to the zoo at 930, and when it happens again next year I'm getting a room downtown and finding a spot at 7.

Only thing that torqued me a little was the group in line at the zoo front of us that went from 2to over 20 and they were calling more people telling them to hurry up and get there so they didn't have to wait in line,so I just took my group and walked around them and smiled on the way by.

That sounds like a very fun and memorable day!

I watched it on the MLB Network and while it was cool (and heard every word), I'd have much rather had a day like yours than mine.

I'm really bummed that I couldn't attend.
