Oh, now thatI think about it, it should be real easy. I'll just look for the guy that isn't jumping. I should be easy to find. Look for the Phoenix-Fly banner and the guy trying to hook people on nylon crack.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

katiebear21 0 #680 June 6, 2008 Load 1 is up - best idea today I think is to make a few early and then chill out during the middle part of the day and then make a few after 5. Sunset load was beautiful last night with the balloon jumpers in the air as well. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upndownshop 0 #681 June 6, 2008 Quote Can you do something about the heat before I get there tomorrow? I'm looking at a 40+ degree swing from Seattle to Chester. I might melt.

chrismgtis 0 #688 June 7, 2008 I've driven home every night (an hour drive). Thursday, Friday and will Saturday. It's either sleep in my car or a tent. No thanks, too hot. Sucks, but next year if I can't find a camper to rent, I'm not spending more than one day in that heat. It kicked my ass.

And it feels niiiiiiiiiiiice.Time to wake up my sleeping boyfriend and get our asses over there for first loads before it gets too farking hot again!

chrismgtis 0 #690 June 8, 2008 You know, instead of donating skydives, they need to start donating air conditioned rooms for us to stay in. Seriously. I didn't even try to get on a free load, but a room with AC. I would be all over that.Rodriguez Brother #1614, Muff Brother #4033 Jumped: Twin Otter, Cessna 182, CASA, Helicopter, Caravan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #692 June 8, 2008 Aight J, I said I was never going to come to Skyfest because I couldn't for the life of me comprehend why anyone in their right mind would want to come to Texas in July (no offense to Texans, of course, it's just that ... weather!!!). But then you went and moved it to South Carolina in early June and it all seemed so promising, so like the weather would be lovely ... maybe a bit warm and humid, but not altogether bad. But WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT????? Seriously, man, no regrets, and all the rumors are true - you throw one hell of a boogie (but really, you don't have to take the hell part so literally with the heat next time, okay?). I had an amazing time, and I look forward to attending many more Skyfests in the future. Great organizers, a heck of a vendor fair, free jumps, record attempts, nightlife... something for everyone! And thanks to our hosts at Skydive Carolina for taking great care of us and keeping us hydrated and cooled off as much as possible. Special thanks to the van drivers for picking us up, even when we only landed 50 yards out! Also, big kudos to Packin' Cathy and her amazing team - I cannot believe how hard those guys and gals worked to keep us all in the air.

billeisele 122 #693 June 9, 2008 sry about the heat but what I want to know is who came from Arizona and brought the 3 dust devils that we saw today??? have never seen those here is 19 years!! glad to have met a bunch of DZ.commers - you folks are the best I got my Amazon hug and my back feels better than it has in years, got to watch her exit the Otter - amazing - she was gone in seconds, congrats on the record pilots did a great job keeping us seperated in freefall but especially thanks for everyone helping out with canopy flight patterns - great job special thanks to Ally, Linda, Nancy, Courtney, Summer, Julie, Cathy, Annette, James, Danny and everyone else I left out that kept things runningGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvtofly 0 #694 June 9, 2008 Just wanted to say thanks again for all your hard work putting this thing together. Just got home and I'm already making plans to come down again next year. Hopefully I can find a camper with AC. Everytime I try to count all the things I did for the first time I lose count. Thank you so much to all to helped put this together. I had an absolute blast.

micduran 0 #696 June 9, 2008 Quote - you folks are the best No, you are the best. Thanks for the safety briefings for everyone and to the DZ for enforcing the rules. Thanks to the skydivers who followed those rules. J asked me if I have any criticisms or critiques about the boogie. I thought about that all the way home and honestly I had none. This was a very safe, very well organized boogie that truly offered something for everyone. I had some great jumps and learned a LOT from the organizers - thank you Joey Freeman. I can't wait until next year. And I am SO glad I own an RV with AC.Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micduran 0 #699 June 9, 2008 There are people who owe you for that. They know who they are. It was fun having the cook's big ass generator 2 feet from my door. His trailer was pretty much attached to my bottom step. Exiting the camper was more dangerous than exiting the plane. I agree with Thanatos. Skydive Carolina was a great host dz!
