You got it!
Nah, hookitt, I'll save the money this time. It will in an air conditioned, carpetted room and no need to rush to make a load. No problem.

If it's time for a repack, have Timmae come and do the reserve.

Clay or his minions get to do that in the next few days

Wait...did I talk to you in the food line Sat. night at Davis and did skybytch make me video you laying on Amazon the week before at Byron?

Maybe the former but definitely not the latter.

Ive done these types of presentations before. In fact I did it like this a 12 to 16 slide show showing the training, jumping, and skills used by skydivers plus additional info on safety, laws etc.. took about 30 minutes to run with some nice photos on it. This helps people understand skydivers better then you people are crazy.
Then I bring in one of my rigs where the reserve is close to being out of date and show them how the rig works then break down the main and reserve to show them how they work. Total time on this part about 30 minutes or more depending on the questions raised.
Ask your local DZ for support on any extra gear: such as altimeters, helmets, photos, etc... As they would be more then happy as this is a chance to advertise by ways of flyers etc...Why not if you have six people in the conference this is six or more people that would try it..even a tandem....
Each of these ideals Ive used to great sucess. If you have any further questions or such please feel free to email me and I could provide you with a base power point slide show that Ive used....
Thanks Ken,...

Actually, I think it was both! I looked at a pic he sent me a while back and I think it is him. I talked to him and some dude with white hair who looked a little like Gary Busey in the food line Saturday night at the American Boogie. I'm pretty sure he was also at Byron for the GFD memorial. Lisa handed the camera to me and had me video him lying across several people's laps on the couch outside with his head near Amazon's...big thingys. From his pic, I think I thought he was taller than he really is.

Who the hell are you talking to/about? Cuz I'm pretty sure you know me. And I'm not a "him."
