chuckakers 426 #1 March 17, 2004 Dear Fellow Skydivers, I am writing today with very exciting news. THE SUSA REUNION BOOGIE IS ON!!! The date is set for June 24 – 27 at Skydive Spaceland. Yes, that’s four solid days of boogieing SUSA style! Talk of a reunion began almost immediately after Delia, the kids, and I closed Skydive USA in 2001 and left the DZ business. To be honest, I think everyone really just wanted to know when the next killer SUSA party would be. We did develop quite a reputation for our little gatherings, and this one should get completely unreasonable since I don’t have to clean the place or answer to the Mayor. But seriously, Skydive USA was a very special drop zone because the jumpers embraced what we believe is the true spirit of our sport – the connection of hearts and souls and the sharing of incredible experiences together. SUSA was as much about hangin’ with the coolest people on the planet as it was about anything else. This boogie is about that spirit. Here’s the scoop………. Thursday and Friday – Organized REUNION JUMPS!!!!! Let’s commemorate SUSA by getting old friends together for some low key, high fun-factor jumps with an emphasis on our own brand of nostalgia. Here’s a tip: schedule off work NOW!!!!!!!! Thursday and Friday – LADIES-WAYS – what better way to get everyone out to the DZ early than to host the most beautiful among us? Given the fact that the ladies at SUSA were legendary for their aerial skills and party friendly attitudes, the Ladies-Ways should be fun in the air and…well…on the ground too. These jumps are also a warm-up/try-out for those wanting to participate in the ladies state record 2 weeks later at Spaceland during Skyfest!! Friday evening – cocktail party and live acoustic music from Stacy Steele and Company…bring a bottle to stock your personal bar. Cocktail mixers provided. Saturday and Sunday – organized RW, CRW, and Freefly jumps all weekend!!! We’re also working on a balloon and helicopter, so watch for more information on that. Saturday night – OK, this is gonna ROCK. The climax of the weekend – Saturday at sunset. Join us for the PARTY – the BEACH PARTY – the Hawaiian BEACH PARTY!!!! Live music from The SUSA REUNION PLAYERS – heavy on the ROCK and BEACH ROCK!! IT’S A LUAU so bring your WORST HAWAIIAN SHIRT TO WIN PRIZES!!! Sunday – recovery breakfast, coffee and breakfast munchies for everyone walking, crawling, or otherwise moving Sunday – more organized jumps and the Survivors Party – near sunset. Location TBA??????? OK Gang – this event is all about US!! We’ve been hoping this would happen for a long time, so let’s go!! Many details are yet to be worked out, but like everything we did at SUSA, it’ll all work out!! By the way, this thing is gonna be a work of US. Help us by forwarding this post/message/whatever to your skydiving friends. THANKS!! We hope to see evreyone there!!
