    (unless you're going through Vlad)

    Step 1) You can buy a 3x5 checkered flag from this shady ebay character
    He sells red/white, black/red and white/black ones, all in colors of DCU. Price is about $10 with S&H included and if you order today (Tuesday) you should hopefully get it by Saturday. He might not have all those colors when you look tho, so if Vlad's contacting him directly he can do it. i see he has black/white and red/white now. I saw red/black yesterday so he probably just didn't put it back on.

    Step 2) Get an antena for flagpole. Old one you don't use if you have it, if not I found them for $7 in walmart (that gives you 2 poles so $3.50 each). just take the base apart and unscrew them, takes 3 minutes tops. Preferably get ones that are more than 3 feet, ones are buy are 39 inches.

    Step 3) Make incision in white part of flag so you can put antena through it... wear antena like a cloak or whatever to get in stadium with antenas in your pocket, it folds to 8 inches or so.

    We haven't had security problems with it yet (tho I guess flagpoles are still not kosher). You can allways just fold it in a second anyway :) Only problems you might have is if you spend whole game waving it in front of someone's face, so don't wave it 24/7, I think they look best when all go up at once during some songs and of course after Jaime puts one past reis :p

    Be gentle with your antenas or bring spares, I broke both of mine in an hour and Vlad still has his so he should be one giving tips on how not to break it

    props to Vlad for coming up with this :)
