Right in the middle of the basketball court. You couldn't have gone from the parking lot to the hangar without running straight into it!

I'm glad you're OK. I hadn't heard you'd crashed.
Funny thing, though (not you getting hurt), when the cross country New Year's Eve landing spectacle began, and everyone (hundred-something jumpers) had to be a badass and land in the main landing area, there were some spectacular biffs.
One that really looked heinous was a jumper who appeared to crash into the fence of the house just north of the grass landing area. The rest were just cartwheels and people not being able to run out the landings cause they were too fast.
So later, Mr. Burke is getting a well-deserved beer from the cart and I ask him "How's the jumper who hit the fence?" He looks at me completely seriously and says "She died". I begin to shock out and say something like "OH SH*T!" and he grins a little at my discomfiture and says "Nah, she's fine".
So, no, I did not escape a Holiday Boogie without a Burking.
I got Pixied, too.

Yeah, that would be me.
Hitting the fence was just a nasty rumor. As was my death, apparently. 
Thanks, Bryan. I guess I got the ultimate "Burking."

talking about spectacular landings I saw a few.
it mustve been new years eve or maybe jan 1st but I watched (cindy) try to complete a 90+ degree turn at about 40 ft AGL.
I was totally amazed to find her alive and in one piece when i got to her.(was about third to get there)
this was in the alternate landing area. T.J's "german packer bowling" landing was quite funny from what I heard.
the weather fucking rocked. you could only ask for better weather if you are one of those bitchy old bastards who're never satisfied.

Haw haw. Like I said, you supply the gear, I supply the talent.
Incidentally, you were too busy with the video camera to notice anyway:

What is this "pixie-ing" you speak of? And more importantly, how come I didn't get any?

It was spectacular especially as the wind had come up a little bit and the landing direction was downwind.
I did pity the poor girls who turned up in the van an hour later under the cover of darkness from whereever they had landed.
QuickDraw got a good cheering off his mates when he did a perfect landing on the grass opposite the mock up.
A lot of the boogie first timers I spoke to said that they would definitely return next year as they were so impressed with everything. Some of these peeps were pretty experienced jumpers and had gone to different boogies previously.

Well, except for, uh, Sunday? I think it was Sunday. Hanging out of the back of the 'van with Monkeycndo getting pelted with rain or sleet or something wasn't overly perfect

you didn't strike me as old or bitchy. HMMM I guess sometimes I can be surprised LOL
our 2 day cold snap when the temp fell to something like 60 degrees was funny b/c everyone was bitching.
but since I was there the WHOLE time I was like, "HELLO!!!, do you remember what the weather COULD be?" think previous years
