billo 0 #26 August 19, 2003 QuoteAre there any freefly organizers there this year? i'm not on the boogie committee, so hopefully my answer isn't entirely wrong. last i heard, the ff organizers we wanted fell thru so there will not be any ff organizers. (still will be plenty of rw organizers, and another state record is planned!)i think there will still be some ff videographers hopping on loads to collect video. can't wait to see everyone at the boogie!!!

We'd rather do sequential 20-way. I am really hoping for at least a 66. Glad to hear the Chicago crowd is bringing some quality too. That will be a big help. Texas too. I'm feeling pretty positive about the whole thing. Also, I know that GoFast (t-shirts, she sells the Dropzone.com shirts) is going to have the booth there.
