I got to see it too! Was so much fun seeing everyone in front of the clock waving! It was kind of hard to see the actual freeze, but I think I did see some "freezer" among the crowd. Thanks for the wonderful idea, Susan! Can't wait to see the video!! We want to be in the next one!

Hey Bright, I saw so many waving as hard as you could. Really had a problem with the cam as it would freeze every two or three seconds. I'm in NJ so maybe it was a bigger problem for me, us rather as Barbara was right at my side. Sam stood out with the white dress. It really was fun to watch and we were so proud of you all. We can't wait to be a part of the next one. Thanks Bright, Susan and Red for such a great effort :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

quote from red:

Handie, Tom (of Susan&Tom) met one of your friends in line to get a drink. He was telling Tom that he was told he needed to be there at 5:30, saw the freeze, figured that had to be the thing to see and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Too funny, that was Dale and Barb from Virginia Trace. He was best man at our wedding

Wow Mr and Mrs Sailor, you guys are romantic :bigthumbsup:

Handie :joke:

[redwitch]

Um, I get no credit. This was a Bright and Susan thing. They get all the credit. All I did was show up and have a ball!

[samhass]

Mr Samhass and I just took the T-bird down to cruise the square and try to grab a cone from Ambrosia. It was packed and there was no place to park but we saw Susan, Tom, Barefoot and Rick still visiting.
We had a "silent" TOTV'r show up for the freeze. B, it was a pleasure meeting you. You and your wife should meet us all at Crispers for the monthly meeting.
None of our administrators showed up. Do we embarrass you guys?? Hey, we're normal except when we aren't. 8)

I watched from Utah, and y'all did a great job! I pulled up the webcam about 3:00 just to make sure everything would work, and I left it on through the whole freeze. About 3:29 the webcam started freezing up, so I wasn't sure if it was the webcam or if EVERYBODY was freezing. LOL It must have been caused by the thousands of folks watching and wishing they could be there with you! I saw folks waving at me! Yay! Waving back! wav
Great job freezers! :#1:

No Handi, he didn't kiss me for 2 1/2 minutes. He kissed me after 2 1/2 minutes. He just walked by (as others did) looked at me, kissed me, and moved on. As I said, the crowd was not aware that he was my husband. I had been sitting with the other instigators and he was sitting over on the platform. I struggled to keep from laughing. It was so much fun.

Previous to the event I called my friends in TV and told them to be at LSL for an unexpected event at 5:30. They loved it and applauded you folks and thought it was very clever. Who was the couple who held the 5 minute kiss? or was that the 2.5 minute one Samhass got??

In any event, congrats on a great job. I hope TOTV gets some publicity out of this

Till Saturday 040

Red, this was so hysterical, I am still laughing out loud.. I can just imagine how funny it must've been in person. Wish I was there. Just thinking about what these women were thinking at the time when you weren't answering them, and I'm dying laughing.

Good job all you guys, even if I had been watching on the cam, don't think I could fully appreciate what it was like in person.

Kathie..it was more than fun....wish i had the words to describe it....one of the best times of my life!

BTW....i'm trying hard to download the video in a format that you all can watch....but am having a lot of trouble....continuing to try to problem solve...hopefully will get it posted but if not, going to put my husband to work on it....

[nONIE]

Bright, hurry hurry!were counting on you for the video, We can hardly stand it! just give up and let Hubs upload it. Cant wait to re-live the evening! It was so much fun. I think we were all fantastic freezers.

Bernie looked on from a distance and said we all looked like manikins(sp?) Mom2five kept cracking up while looking at her lake Sumter map, I wanted to say shhhhhh dont laugh ,but I was frozen and couldnt move!

What a blast we all had, We must do this again in the future. Just another reason I dont ever want to go home. Hmmmm, I think I am home!

[renielarson]

Nonie....

Video is trying to download on YouTube as I type but it's taking forever....

I gotta get some sleep so will let it continue to download overnight....

Hubby will take over tomorrow if it doesn't work...

I WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO TOO....sigh....watching it on the little screen on the video cam just doesnt catch it!

[nONIE]

OK Bright,

Ill try to be patient, not one of my virtues.

By the way, it was so nice meeting you and mr. Brightspot, also Susan and Tom. I can tell you are all party animals, my kind of people! :hotThat was a compliment)

Just want everyone to know who were unable to make the First Annual Freeze Event that prior to the Freeze when we were in JR's we toasted all of you and wished you could have been with us physically. We knew that you were with us in Spirit.

Yes, we all had fun and the audience reaction was first one of "What is going on here." to smiling, applauding and trying to make some of us move. I was able to see about 1/4 of the audience from where I was standing.

Strangers took pictures of us wondering what was going on, other just shook their heads and continued walking.

The band was totally confused and did not know what was going on. They incorporated what they saw into their song, finally they caught on about the freeze. Then they sang about the freeze.

Sidney Lanier suggested that next year we make this into a Fund Raising Event. He has my vote.

We had a lot of fun, you in TOTV land had fun watching us, and those who saw us also had a good laugh.

I guess you could say we are all a lot healthier - "Laughter is the Best Medicine."

Thank you everybody for a fun filled afternoon.

You are all the best.

Tom & Susan --- and all participants --- congratulations on a novel idea that was a success and fun. Is the web cam broken? There are still 2 people kissing!!!
Was great to meet Brightspot & Steve and Rokinronda have a few laughs with all.

Somebody get out there tell the kissers the freeze is over for this year.
