I'm planning on it
Haven't signed up yet but planning on it. Looks like the Brown Santa 5K is same time/place too (not that I'm thinking of doing the 5K instead of the 20k ;-)
Yeah, I gotta sign up too.

Where's a good cheering spot?
I plan on being there to cheer my team on--more cowbell! Is anyone else going to cheer? Where's a good place to cheer from?
At the 10K split, at the top of Big Mr. Tard..
Not sure of the road closures, etc though wrt vehicle traffic. I know I could use some encouragement getting me up Big Mr. Tard.. Earlier in the race when you turn onto Lindell might be fairly accessible (ie, a place to park your car). Last year several folks just parked along 973 and cheered by their vehicle.

Less than a month away!
We were discussing this tonight at dinner. I can't believe Decker is less than a month away. This fall's athletic calendar is really weird. WurstRide the day before Motive, my knee acting up (Except it's perfectly okay tonight!!) and since I haven't been able to keep up with the training calendar it seems like DC is coming up too fast! I better log some miles! Assuming my knee continues to hold up, I plan on doing DC (for the 3rd year). Diana Gallia was my running partner last year. Sure hope it's less cold and/or windy this year. I never heard four letter words come out of Diana's mouth before.
-edit: I just found this clip on youtube. Those of you who ran this last year will remember Gilbert's Gazelles had the water stop at the 10K split/timing mat where you turn right onto 973. Apparently someone got creative with a video camera and sound (there is also a small bit at the finish -- that's the UPHILL timing mat).
Who else is in for this year?
