I just found out that you won't be here to help us make the Raeford boogie even more awesome, and although I had my suspicions, it wasn't until I found out WHY you wouldn't be here that I truly felt my heart break... I hope this Fiesta Boogie of yours goes well, Jen-Jen.

There's nothing on the books for NC at the USPA site: check here. Also in this thread, there's only mention of NC CRW, CRW POPS, RW POPS and RW SOS. No mention of anything beyond that.

I was hoping you'd approve, or it'd be back to the "evil eyes" pic of me. Seriously though, I am impressed with your skill and talent in the Lindy moves. I'll be so far behind the power curve when I finally find a school that you'll be laughing at me.

I just finished an interview with the Fayetteville Observer, the local newspaper about this event! Look for us in the weekender portion of this coming Friday's edition. Also, I just received a last-minute-rush of videos, about five of them, along with one or two that arrived there at the DZ after I left. This thing is going to ROCK! Heck, I even got Clay's submission. If a dude chewing sand thousands of miles away can get his in, none of the rest of you have a leg to stand on. I can't wait to see all of you this next weekend!

Here's to a wonderful person for a wonderful birthday! Hope you have the BEST birthday ever, Rosa!

"I got brains, big ol' brains, like dinosaur brains." Now Cora and I respond to each other all the time with "I know" in that same tone of voice.

You know, it's time for me to move away from this place. The only studio around here that taught swing has closed down. That looks like so much fun, Kel! And you're so good at it. I really enjoy seeing these videos.

Of COURSE you can come home! We've been looking forward to seeing you, so get your hiney over here and we'll make sure you're taken care of. And Keith, I completely understand about procrastination. Earlier last week, when I was bemoaning the fact that I only had one video, a good friend asked me where I would be in the creation of my own video if I were participating. I lied and said I would be done already. I can't wait to see all of the videos, but I'm even more excited to see all of YOU at the boogie!

This sounds like fun! Too bad I won't be able to make it up there for this event. Make sure someone takes lots of pics to share with those of us who can't go...especially pics of the Latin dancing.

Happy birthday, beautiful! I always thought you were in your late 20s, early 30s, so don't sweat the numbers. You're one cool chica. Cora and I wish you the very best birthday EVER!

I'm not so sure. When I did scouting for the entertainment industry, we were constantly battling against the "cattle-call" model and talent companies that have "seminars" or modeling/acting calls where they ask you for a fee up front when they select you. We would do our best to educate the local communities about the one or two main companies involved in this type of scam (i.e. you pay them their "fee" and they keep telling you they are looking for roles/jobs for you, but you never seem to be the right person for any of the "jobs"). When these companies would find the legal spotlight to be too terribly intense, they would sell off all of their assets and rise from their own ashes with a new name but the same tired old scam. It takes constant vigilance and effort to educate people regarding scams like this so that eventually it becomes fiscally unproductive for them to continue their conscienceless and greedy operations. Even after they're shut down, you have to continue the vigilance and effort to ensure they don't crop up again with a different name and scam even more people.

I'll give him a call today, but we don't have a budget this year. I'll see what he'd be willing to work out IF he could be here to fly jumpers. I'm losing sleep I'm so excited about this event! Can't wait to see you all here!

No. Sorry about that, but it's only there by dint of Scott Campos' efforts and that it's a military appreciation festival. The active duty military demo jumpers needed an aircraft to jump from separate from the rest of the up-jumpers, so Scott made this happen for us. Not only will their loading area be separate from the other aircraft, it will be closely monitored and IDs checked. Besides, we'll have at least two aircraft (Super Otter and PAC-750) and possibly one more (another Otter) if needed. Maybe next year we can finagle a helicopter for everyone else. If this event is a hit, there's no telling what we might be able to do next year.

That was beautiful, Bonnie. Thanks for sharing. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Yes, between Chuck and Scott, I've gotten some excellent help and support. I suppose I'm still harboring some extensive anxiety over my first botched flight on that suit, that had me spinning on my back for about 8K feet and resulted in one of the wings on the suit ripping. I've made about five or six jumps on it since it was repaired, but I am still trying to get rid of my anxiety over that first jump. I'll get there, I'm sure. By the way, the deadline for film submissions is this coming Friday, the 15th of June! We're reviewing and judging them on the 16th, so if you plan on submitting, I'd suggest express mail. And don't forget that all jumps for licensed jumpers are $15 as part of our Military Appreciation celebration. Vendors confirmed for attendance at this event are as follows: Mirage (Ward) with everything Mirage typically brings to an event like this. Aerodyne (Karl) and the new Boogie-Mobile. Sunpath (Jay) will be there with all of his demos and swag. Vigil (Candace) will be in the area and will quite possibly be attending the event. She's provided a prize for the film festival and plenty of swag. Tony Suits (Jeff Nebelkopf) is coming with all of the wingsuit demos he has. Other participating vendors are: Jumpshack - prizes and swag Bonehead - prizes Michigan Suits - prizes Birdman - prizes Wings - SPECIAL PRIZE The John Boy and Billy Big Show's Grillzilla is scheduled to be in attendance with free food. The 82nd Frefall team will be performing demos with members of the USASOC parachute demonstration team, the Black Daggers, and members of the Golden Knights for most of Saturday out of a Blackhawk (thanks to Scott Campos for procuring the use of this aircraft). We have great LOs lined up and excellent rigging, packing and general staff on hand to assist with anything you may need. Also, I'll be doing my best to be on hand to assist with issues that crop up. We're looking forward to seeing all of you!

So, could we call you "Fry" at that point? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

If I don't get at least one more jump on my suit before the event, I think I'll have to hold off. I still haven't gotten past my anxiety over flying mine. On another note, Jeffro's presence at this event has been confirmed. Between Trevor Hill and Jeffro, I think we'll have some kick ass freefly loads. Oh, and get those sheep-effer jokes ready, because CLAY should be there too! We will definitely NOT be sucking at Raeford.
