I wanted to see what all the hype is about with Sesame Flyers since they win every year. So far, I aint blown away. Hawks did a good job last year after not being in it for a few years.

I dont get the reason for this comment. What does the amount of people have to do with anything? Yes they definitely have less people but its not the amount of people that make the day good, its the type of people and the music.

And that's true, too much people can sometimes spoil the vibes.

Lol my comment wasn't intended to offend. I was just tryin to say Sesame has twice as many sections, the price difference between them and Hawks is not that wide..and they have way more ppl, not to mention practically almost every section out of their 16 sections are sold out..they only have 3 or 4 sections still open. So when you said you had to add holes and velcro I put the more ppl comment to suggest that it's probably really hectic and they prob can't make everything perfect. I wasn't tryin to say nothin more than that wit dat comment

Anyway it'll be my 1st experience wit Sesame and carnival in general so I wanna see what the hypes about too. And ur right too much ppl can prob spoil the vibe...but a lot of ppl and good vibes can prob make for one hell of an experience

I understand now. However, I still think its No excuse! We payin over $200 for an incomplete costume. They have more than enough people who work for them and especially volunteer during this time. No excuse! I have to dish out extra $10 or so for velcro, fabric glue, and hole puncher. Deese tings aint cheap! Cheese on Bread!

You dont need to buy velcro just use the black string they gave you. I fix mines today and all did was punch some holes and tie it with the string. It will stay on better that than the velcro.
