heheh I got that yesterday too. Funny stuff.

Done

I'm still coming, though I'm sicker than a dog right now. Got hit by allergies and it's moved into my chest. Now I've got bronkitis or however you spell it. I can barely walk up my stairs without feeling it. But I'm a trooper, I'll be there and am gonna make one kick ass boogie DVD! There will be 5 of us from KS coming up.

Which one of the Casa Boogies are you going to be at? I'll be there at the one in a month or so and the party bus should be ready by then too

I believe it's spelled Gummo or Gumo Paid a dollar to rent it, worst dollar I ever spent

HOLLY SHIT!!! That's where I graduated highschool from! And trust me, the final wasn't that hard. Hahahah that's freaking funny. S-town sucks though, well I take that back, KS sucks

yep, been using it for 2-3 years now

Ok I've got a MAJOR project I'm working on and need some technical advice. Need to know what kind of aditional power this setup will need: 1x200watt amp @ 4oh 1x40wattx4ch amp 1X In dash DVD 4x7" lcd monitors 1x 20" dell monitor (will probably use an cd/ac interter) 1x?????watt inverter I'd like to be able to run this all under the 3 conditions: a)while the engine is running b)without the engine running c)plugged in at an rv hookup (what ac/dc converter should I use and how big) How many additional batteries should I run, bigger altenator? Could I use an RV ac/dc converter or could I run a battery charger when at an rv slot? Thanks in advance

We're leaving KS Thursday after work and driving all night. We'll probably be rolling in Friday at about 6am or so, take a short nap then start the jumping

$5 gas station sunglasses. Work fine for me, just put a strap around the back to keep them from flying off your head and make sure you're helmet is snug. I jump both open and full faces and haven't had a problem, including one tandem video where I didn't have anything

I can probably wing that

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm gonna make a game show out of it. "HELLO AND WELLLLLLLLLLCOME TO DRUNNNNNNNNKENNNNNNNNNN MOOOOOOOOVIE TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh yeah, here's an example work: http://www.ksu.edu/ksupc/gallery/videos.html I have 2 more that were entered in the Fly Boyz film festival that aren't online yet Maybe I'll work on that today The TV show wasn't made by me and I was missquoted a number of times As for music, yes, suggest music, give me music etc. I'm up for about anything. The short film idea would be seperate from the boogie video. It would be in the extras. In other words, you watch it if you want to. I'll also take stills from anyone who takes pics. I'll set up a server for people to upload the pics to after the boogie

I decided to post it here where there's more traffic and more people will know about it: Hi, my name is Chris and I'll be making the boogie DVD I'd like to incorporate as many ideas as I can into making the video. I've got an open schedule after the boogie and am putting in all my efforts to make it as kick ass as possible. So here's what I need: a) YOUR FOOTAGE!!! I'm bringing a computer and 400gigs of space to fill up. Don't worry about not getting your tapes back cause I'll never have them longer than the time it took for your skydive b) YOUR IDEAS!!! Weege suggested a film festival idea, either bring or put together now, at, after a short film and I'll add it to the end. Also thought about having the KS traditional drunken movie trivia in the extras. As requested by Lee (the DZO) it'll be a friendly DVD, PG13-R and I respect that, so everyone can feel free to show it around their families. There will probably be some easter eggs though (and I know how to set them up so you can't just scroll right to them) Last thing, widescreen or 4:3. Personally I love widescreen, but some don't. So voice up, it's your video. So Now you know who I am, what I'm making it and that your opinion means...something I guess

Sweet dude, I want in on those FF loads and especially all yoru video. I'll be set up with a computer to download everyone's stuff on the spot. Can't wait to get out of the nest, this 182 is killing me hahaha

This is the last list I've seen, though I know people need to be added and removed from the list. Also, just a rough estimate, who's interested in a boogie DVD? I swear I do a good job Just trying to get a head count so I know what I'm getting myself into beforehand, and so I know if I need to bring my computer with, or just transfer to DV. Ok here's the list please add or reomove youself, and let me know if you're interested in the DVD

Can you sleep normally without them? This doesn't seem to be an every night thing for me, but is ocurring more frequently now. About 3 times in the last week now. I've never taken any type of sleeping aid, so I'm assuming the hang over isn't too fun is it

Well I'm not married but know the feeling cause I gone f*ed up It's hard to explain really, my advice, talk to your family if you're close to them, especially your parents. My father gave me some advice, said that marriage is only 10% attractiveness, the other 90% is pure hard work. He also said the 3 most important things to keep control of (i.e. don't let it get between you relationship) sex, money and religion. He's happily divorced and I'm happy my parents split up, he's made a lot of himself, would have never been able to if my parents hadn't divorced.

For some time now I've been having trouble sleeping, especially if I've got a lot of my mind, or am just excited about something, or start thinking. My body is tired but I can't get my mind to shut off. I toss and turns for hours before finally falling asleep for any adequate time. I've thought about trying some sleeping aid but I'm concerned of their addicting nature and or the way my mind woulf function if I didn't take them one night, i.e. keeping me awake thinking I need them, then becoming a habit. I'd appreciate some advice or experience from others with a similar problem. It's 6am, I've been up since midnight, got maybe 1.5-2 hours of sleep on the couch then spent till 2:30 tossing and turning in bed thinking about a million different things. I'm not stressed or worried about anything, they're just thoughts, like skydives or how to make a new video, or code a page or just stupid stuff. I'm tired, I'm rambling and I just wanna exhaust myself now so I can get some decent sleep

I used to work for a call center doing SBC Yahoo DSL support, until they were bought out my Accenture and pretty much destroyed the company and all technical support along with it. They shut down I believe all but 2 call centers in the USA and shipped the rest of the jobs to the Phillipeans. Once Accenture took over, all they cared about was making profit, didn't matter what how well the support was. We were often instructed to hang up on customers to meet the avg call time "quota" probably so someone could get a bigger bonus. During the transition period I would call in asking for support and then go back and read the notes on my account. Completely useless and most of the time flase information "customer disconected" or "DSL due date not present" Stupid shit like that. They are paying $8 a day for tech support and $200 a month as a floor manager. There is no trouble shooting involved in the job, only requirement was basic computer skills and X score on the TOFL exame. Yahoo uses call flows now, it's all just yes and no questions and answers. If the call flow can't figure it out, then they route the call to tier2 in the USA. So here's the hint if you have SBC Yahoo DSL, when you get someone on the line, right off the bat, request for someone in tier2. They have to transfer you. They are all located in Cali, may be somewhat of a longer wait, but they have access to the router builds and can usually get a problem fixed in mins that would take a tier1 agent a trouble ticket, call back, truck roll and 24-48 hour downtime

Yep, it's not the boots, it's the skirt, btw nice skirt too. And they're not go go boots. They are f me boots. They're just sexy with nice legs and skirt

Not sure on the price, though it'll be between 10-15 one disk or 20 if there is just a shit ton of cool stuff people add to it and I do 2 disks. It'll probably just be one disk though. I have waivers already that I use for all my tandem videos and end of year video stuff, but thanks for the advice and looking out for me. I'll be bringing a computer with me to capture the footage, that way we don't have to deal with tapes getting back to pepole or for that matter, me buying a bunch of tapes to have people transfer to me to then have to transfer onto my computer. Cuts the time in half by putting it on a HD in the first place. So everynight after jumping I'll be set up somewhere and have everyone come and contribute their footage. I don't care what it is, I wanna see it and possibly add it to the video, especially the party stuff

Every video I've posted online (abotu 20 or so) I used the WMP encoder 9 that phreezone has talked about above. It works great. Set it to variable bitrate with cd quality audio. I haven't had one that's been over 100mb yet. Works great.

I don't know all that many of you, so we shoudl all post mug shots of you in gear, so we know who everyone is
