Not going to WFFC?

[jfields 0]

For those of us not going to the WFFC, here is the place to say why, what you'll be doing instead, and generally wallow in lots of self pity.

If you are going, STFU, and get out of my thread!

I'm not going because I spent most all of my leave days at the hospital when my daughter was born. I'll be stuck at work as usual. Perhaps I'll make a run for Clay's post whoring record while the bastard is off jumping jets and stuff. Or maybe I'll take a vacation from DZ.com so I won't be reminded of what I'm missing. I haven't decided yet.

I'm not going either, due to lack of funds, and the fact that school starts for the kids that week.

Can't wait.

I am not going as I spent all my cash on my pre-second rig
Maybe I can get one of the local balloon pilots to give me a ride..... 'oh that, thats just my "backpack", uh yeah... So uh, can you get us over that big field over there?'

I'm not going coz I'm doing the X-Canada relative trip this summer; and besides, if I wasnt doing that, I'd go to Espace, not the WFFC....

I won't be going because I spent all of my overdraft, creditcard limits and bank loans on skydiving.

I'm not going because I can't justify spending 60 bucks for being there for only 2 or 3 days, which is the most that I would be able to since I can't take the time off of work.

Lack of funds plays a small part as well.

I'm not going either. Lack of funds and no vacation time left this year. Spent all of it on skydiving.

So I'm going to be working and posting as normal. Trying to think about other things.

Doubtful. Especially if I wanted to enjoy the skydives and be completely alert.

E-ticket rides? What's that?

Justin, since you can't make it to Rantoul I would be willing to jump in your honor. Simply send me $18 to cover the price of a jump (or more if you want me to jump specialty aircraft) and I will jump for you. If you would like a video of the jump, send enough to cover the videoman's slot too.

I'll be glad to volunteer for that duty. I'm a very "giving" person. I'll even dub some music onto the footage and slip in some video of the boobie shots!!!

I'll sponsor you for a jump with 3 stipulations:
1. You jump naked.
2. You get video and mail it to me.
3. Clay is not the videographer.

Deal?

Sunshine don't jump naked. However, a couple of beers and a pond will accomplish the same!

If you saw me land, you would understand why i can't jump naked. Until i can learn to land on my feet consistently....it aint gonna happen. The thought of picking grass outta my ass all week doesn't appeal to me.

Hmmm....I'm sure I can talk Chuck into giving you some professional coaching....since it's for a worthy cause.

Not going because I can only afford one trip to Illinois/Chicago this year, and it's gonna be Nationals...I can't WAIT to see the 4-way Open!

Plus, I'd like to give it a year to settle into it's new location. Maybe next year!

E-ticket rides? What's that?

Hmmm. What year did Disney stop doing tickets? It's been a long time.

For those who don't remember, Disneyland used to give visitors a book of tickets to use on rides. The book had a lot of A-tickets for the really slow, lame rides like the teacups, fewer B-tickets for the slightly more interesting rides, etc. There were just a couple of E-tickets for the really COOL rides like Matterhorn, Space Mountain, etc.

So E-ticket means the "bestest most coolest" ride in the whole park.

I'm not going since exactly a year ago today I lost my "real" job. Having to get surgery for my little dog who torn her knee sealed my fate, if it wasn't determined already. I guess the WFFC only lasts for a few days, but I'm hoping my doggie will live a couple more years.

Maybe if I could figure out a way to teach people how to fly at the convention I could write it off as a business expense. Of course, it still requires money to go.
