jceman 1 #1 November 3, 2003 Well I guess I should know better but the one constant whenever I get involved in a special event at Sebastian is that the wind will make its presence known in spades; The Bytch Boogie was no different. This was not the first boogie I've been involved in that I did not jump in, nor was it the first I did not even plan on jumping, so I owe no beer. I was so glad to see that all those who attended and really wanted to jump finally got a chance ( for Dagny). I think Skymama summed it up quite well, the jumping may have been slow, but the vibe was awesome. I don't know it it's just that dot commers are so freaking cool or just that skydivers are so freaking cool, but it doesn't really matter. This was a gathering of friends and a celebration. Welcome to Florida, Lisa. I would like to especially extend my thanks to those manufacturer reps who came and brought along goodies for others to play with, even though the weather held participation in demos down. Nightjumper had the intentional cutaway rig there but couldn't let it out because we didn't have a helicopter standing by to chase the cutaway mains on cross-country jaunts; thanks anyway for coming and bringing all that stuff, Mike. Kolla and Asaf, thanks to you guys too for coming and bringing your gear. No doubt Asaf had the best of it as he moved more than a couple pair of Pantz, including taking an order from me. Dang expensive boogie for me even though I didn't jump, but it's all good. Last but far from least, thanks to the staff of Skydive Sebastian for their help (and their good comments about the way the store is shaping up); Bendywendy played a large part in the fun, especially after hours -- those of you heading to the Keys Boogie are going to have a ball with her. Keith and Jeff from The Zoo Bar, the food was good all weekend, great breakfasts, and the spaghettis supper Saturday far exceeded my expectations. Thanks. To all you dropzone.com denizens that joined us, thanks for coming. It was great to see a lot of you again and even better to meet those of you we hadn't had the joy of meeting before, especially Katiebear21 -- those of you who haven't met her yet are in for a treat as she is a real sweetie. She's a real keeper, Chuck. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

bendywendy 0 #5 November 3, 2003 It was great meeting everyone. Seems like I didn't have enough time to get to hang out with everyone that I wanted to. I guess that just means we'll all have to do it again. I swear that the winds aren't this bad usually! I'll see some of you this weekend in the Keys - the rest of you - have fun where ever you are!
