macnmotion Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi. I was fortunate enough to drive in today's parade, and also sit in the VIP area during tonight's practice. I drove rookie free agent Geir Gudmundsen, from Albany. Big guy, so they put him in my Jeep and had him stand up (that's me driving): http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/billsparade.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/billsparade2.jpg I have to say, Geir might just be one of the nicest, most polite people I've met in a long time. As I was driving, I was pointing out my friends in the crowd, and he made a point to holler over to them by name. My friend's son rode with us, and he treated him like he was the only fan at the rally. On a side note, I was able to get JP to sign my Losman jersey. Now I can't wear it, I'll have to get another one! Then I went to practice. It was difficult getting good photos from my vantage point, since the sun was setting behind the players. But here are just a few of the 100 or so that I took: UPDATE: I've created a webpage with thumbnails to make viewing easier: Buffalo Bills Parade and Training Camp - 7/30/2005 -------------------------------------- or, you can still click on these links to see individual photos: http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3643.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3658.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3662.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3677.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3687.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3706.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3710.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3711.jpg http://www.macnmotion.com/billsparade2005/IMG_3720.jpg The night was beautiful, and it was a lot of fun with a big crowd, lights, and a lot of action. I'll go through my other photos and post more if I see anything worthwhile. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
