Slappie 9 #1 February 13, 2002 Ok, I know since Nov all you skymonkeys out there that missed the "Gathering" last year have been wondering when Slappie is going to do it again.... Well,, {drum roll} I'm working with some different dropzones and have come to a tenitive date!! LABOR DAY WEEKEND! If you have a problem with this or think another weekend would be better please drop me a line. I REALLY Want everyone who can make it to try and plan a small weekend for us Dropzone.commers to get together, jump our asses off and drink great quantities of adult beverages!! One of the DZ's I'm working with is having a "Swoop contest" that weekend. So you swoopers... SkymonkeyOne!! Think about coming!! Another one I am in contact with hasn't made plans for that weekend yet.. I'm thinking LAbor day weekend because most of the 4-way leagues will be done with the season so it frees up you belly competitors and the Freefly junkies we can jump whenever and where we are because I haven't seen nor heard of a "league" for us as of yet?? Hmmm another idea is born!Anyways I want this years "Gathering" To be 110% Better then last year! We have 20'something people last year. This year there is talk of a CASA and maybe even a Heli for the combined weekend of jumping and swooping! So whoooooooo knows! Gimme some ideas, I don't want to compete with the bigger boogies like summerfest, quincy, ect... so please we don't want to try and "combine" our Dropzone.com "Gathering" into one of these events...Thanks and looking forward to your ideas and insights...Shawn aka: SlappieMy New Website with 24hr Chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #2 February 13, 2002 On another note...If you would be planning on being here for the event, if a small registration fee would be problem or stepping stone. Just something to help fund the CASA and the other activities..?? Also it would be a way for me and my event orginisers to have a feel for who is going to be coming and what we need... Just a thought.. no one here is making money of this it's just a fund to make things better!! My New Website with 24hr Chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottbre 0 #5 February 13, 2002 You gonna let anyone know where the potential DZ's are, so that we might be able to have a better idea whether we can attend or not? "Let the rabbits wear glasses. . . " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #6 February 13, 2002 Lookin Texas where we had the last Gathering... Have contacted Skydive Dallas, Skydive Houston and Spaceland in Houston.. Spaceland in Houston is the one with the Swoop Contest for that weekend..Sorry Zennie was trying to make it a weekend with a holiday and be able to miss all the "league" action alot of skydivers are into.

PLFXpert 0 #7 February 13, 2002 BZ and I might make Houston. BZ swooped in the Para-Perfomance Games held there last year. I didn't go but I would love to go this time. Keep me posted.Much love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #8 February 13, 2002 I don't think the Houston meet will be anything as large as the PP-games but we'll still have a blast!My New Website with 24hr Chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #9 February 13, 2002 No biggie. Any swoop contest and a chance to meet other DZ.comers would be fun. Plus, there's nothing sexier than watching sausages swoop their toy canopies.Don't take that the wrong way, now. I'm not advocating swooping. Just had to add that in.Much love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
