  4. i left a nascar.com waterproof fleece poncho that folds into a backpack near the launch crane. the label is marked with "amodeo 539" anyone have it?
  5. nicrussell: the article quoted states the charge to be "disorderly conduct," not "public endangerment." joeyramone: i think that perhaps 736 was being a tad sarcastic about BASE not being done in Chicago before.

    bridge day

    Kramer, Joe, Avery, Jason... Looking forward to seeing you all... It's been a while...
  7. Tom, that's not necessary, but thank you! You answered my question with the Black Jack / Troll comparison. Thanks.
  8. If you were to lay out a Rock Dragon 303, nice and flat, on the ground... and then: lay a Troll 285 nice and flat on top of it... would they REALLY be the same size? (Give or take 2 sq. ft?)

    US Congress

    I received a letter yesterday from my Congressman, Rahm Emanuel. He seems like a stand-up guy. It was as a result of the ABP letters I sent from the ABP website. I'm sure many of you have received something similar, but here's what it says: "Dear Mr. Amodeo: Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the issues facing backcountry parachutists. Your concerns are important to me, and I appreciate hearing from you. I will certainly keep your views in mind when considering legislation on this issue. Additionally, I encourage you to send my office any new information or updates regarding issues facing the backcountry parachutist community." That's positive, huh? The website makes writing the letters easy, too, so if you haven't done it yet, maybe it's time?
  11. Don't want to risk losing my green card with a jump. Not current right now either. I like the idea of a packing protest though, if we are sure they couldn't bust us for that. Seems like a great way to spread the message, and show some strength in numbers. But whatever happens, good luck and be safe.
  12. ABP Silver Member #1 Looking forward to the day I can legally flick the big ones in the valley. Or the smaller ones on the big lake. That day will come. Won't be any less sweet to me just cos I won't be risking arrest. Actually think it'll taste sweeter. Thanks to those working so hard. Sabre 210 - the hard-on visuals will make it difficult for me to sleep for weeks. Peace, 539.

    apologies

    I never realized - until today - that I had email at DZ.com Sorry to all those who tried to contact me at that address in the last year: 570, DexterBASE, Tom A. I was joyful to see a message from the late, great Neil Q. But saddened that I hadn't replied. Neil, I'm sorry, buddy! Faber - what site did I name? And if I did... again, I'm sorry. You can email me at [email protected] So, that's all. Stay safe out there. Mark Amodeo, BASE 539.

    The End . . . ?

    Nick, We haven't met yet either. But you're an inspirational soul with wonderful penmanship. I look forward to seeing you as soon as I get out to your corner of the world. Might be this year, might be next. So don't you be going anywhere, okay buddy? Mark Amodeo, BASE 539.
