sfullerman 0 #1 July 12, 2006 You folks can see from my profile info that I'm mainly a lurker on the forums here. I'm in and out several times a day, and have done that for the better part of the last two years. I find myself getting caught up in the drama, laughing at the trolls etc...and even though I rarely offer any comments, keeping up with this crazy (crazy in a good way) bunch has become part of my life. Now... to the point of my post.. J asked me and my brother to come down to Skyfest and play some of the skydive songs we've written over the years...We're supposed to play Fri and Sat nights after the festivities. We're on the schedule as the "FBI" (Fuller Brothers Inc) I remembered that Twardo lived in that area , and e-mailed him yesterday to see if I could meet him. I'd like to shake his hand and thank him for all the entertainment over the past couple of years. We've fired a few e-mails back and forth, and I will indeed have the chance to meet that rascal this weekend. I haven't jumped in 20 years, [http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1714626#1714626] but reading all of your exploits and adventures has helped keep my dream alive to one day return to the sky. Here's where the part about "humoring an ole guy" comes in. It would tickle me to no end to be able to meet as many of you folks as possible..Aggie Dave, Walt, Turtlespeed...on an on....So if you've got a minute between loads, or in the evening after the beer light comes on, and you see a heavy set, ummm big boned, no... ahhh huskey..(aww crap.. "fat") ole dude in tye dye, with a guitar and a ponytail walking around..please introduce yourself! Gimmie a chance to put a face with the online persona. That would be really cool! I'm not sure if there will be a stage, or just a spot by a fire...but after the giant SCR ceremony, (and whatever else) swing by and let me an my brother hit'cha with a few skydive tunes.

waltappel 1 #2 July 12, 2006 It will be a pleasure to meet you!Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 July 12, 2006 I'll be there Saturday! I'm bringing my guitar as well as Stan (another Aggieland jumper) I'm more then sure I'm not as good as a player as you are, but it would be fun to jam a bit. I'll have a couple of harps with me...I'm much better blowing a harp then playing a guitar, so hopefully you can play some blues. I'll track you down, it'll be a pleasure to meet you. Fuller? Related to Kim Fuller? Or do you have a relative that works out of a local Fsido?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #5 July 12, 2006 I still haven't met Jim yet either. Nor Walt. You'd figure we'd bumped into each other by now. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfullerman 0 #7 July 12, 2006 Quote I'm more then sure I'm not as good as a player as you are,. Oh Dave....dont let the fact that we got an invite to this Mombo sized Boogie fool'ya! My brother and I , for years, have been the only dudes in our skydive clan that play any instruments. So naturally, around the homeboys....we're the BEST! I would say we are adequate...it's more about the content. We've always pretty much been wise asses, and that tends to bleed over into our songs. I'd probably better qualify using the word "adeqaute"and say that pertains to me. Lately my brother has been playing some very mean harp, and now I'm looking forward to hearing you two jam! We have a couple blues tunes, so I could lay down a little 3 chord blues thang and let'cha jump all over it! Not related to Kim (that I know of) ...and I tried to come up with a bluff to hide my ig-ner-ance, but "Fsido" went right over my head Walt---excellent bro! Looking forward to it!
