It sounds like the DJ will be playing ZZ Top

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I'm hearing rumors that there may be some aircraft issues at this boogie now. Are all the same planes expected to be there that were listed in the original post?

I'm hearing lots of similar interesting comments on that subject as well.
I'm curious to see what happens.

Not sure what is considered interesting but according to a recent email the Kingair is being replaced with a Caravan Deluxe that will hold more jumpers.

I dunno, I kinda like that name Caravan Deluxe. Sounds like I should get some bacon and cheese with each jump...

No the e-mail says ZZ Top Friday Evening. Then Hip Kitty and Jimmies Chicken Shack Saturday and an AC/DC Tribute Band Sunday.

It does sound like the registration is worth the entertainment alone this year.

But then the Skydives will be awesome too!

Matt

I went to their website and they are going to be in California, so it must be a cover band.

There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

Is there going to be night jumps like last year?

There's a night pyro demonstration, but I am unaware of any night jumps being offered to the rest of us

This shit, right here, is OK

It may be because of the waxing moon and minimal moonlight. The next scheduled moonlight madness night jumps at Start Skydiving is September 25th.

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

There will not be any night jumping this year at the boogie but yes, the pyro demonstration, aerobatic display, fireworks show, and live performances by Hip Kitty & Jimmy's Chicken Shack will all be happening Saturday night.

[PenelopeMonroe 0]

The band is ZZTop Essentials with members of the actual ZZTop band.

Kudos to the team at Start Skydiving for putting on an awesome boogie. This was by far the best boogie I have been to. For $45 (if you registered early) you received a jump ticket ($23 value), a t-shirt ($20 value), a meal ticket ($8 value), entertainment, access to aircraft and world class organizers. I have been to a lot of boogies and received far less for the same registration fee.

I don't know how you guys do it. But thank you. You are all awesome!!!!

I know I had a little TOO much fun at the boogie. Cant wait for next year.

BTW, has anyone seen my bourbon?

So, has anyone posted video from the 36 way or the pyro display? I watched a couple there, but would like to see it again.

[PhreeZone 15]

Icon134 and Norman Kent shot video on the 36 way (which I think will be a new USPA record since the dual state records from years ago never got filed). Look for Scott to post videos on his site at http://www.scottgunstills.com/ or on Facebook.

I uploaded around 100 photos of day and night activities and then around 100 fireworks photos. I shot close to 1400 stills over the weekend

we only managed to scrounge up a 33-way (but it went really well)... but I haven't done anything with the video yet... other then get it to a USPA Judge.

I have been fiddling with a few of the photos and may upload some of them before leaving for Chicago to support my wife's 4-way team at nationals...

I will create a video with the jumps from the boogie when I get back home (to include the 33-way) next week.
