Teasing Steve is part of his friendship curriculum, so I like to stay current in my Steve studies. Besides, he's only grumpy after dealing with his co-workers and students. I believe that a 9min pace is sustainable for me, as long as the run is only about 4-5 miles when I'm in better shape. Right now, I'm guessing that for a 4-5 mile run, 9:30 is about right.

Must be all these Land of the Giants people here at work making me feel bad because I can't cover half a mile in two strides. I'll bring my stuff and we'll go run...if the weather isn't completely uncooperative. YAY! I get to run with Kel! Let's see if we can talk Dr. Steve (or Professor Grumpypants) into joining us.

Slow, my friend. Quite slow. Like a 9-minute mile pace.

Oh, when *I* refer to a run, I mean a pace that would probably infuriate you, with plenty of probing questions about when to turn around...right after mile 2. Can't wait to meet you!

Holy mahoney! You'll be HERE on FRIDAY?? That's GREAT! Guess I'll skip my run and come say hello. Just keep an eye out for the goofy bald guy with a nerdy t-shirt.

If you get the rights and a signed release stating that if you win, that you won't have any conflicts over the prize, then yes. Wait, that footage wouldn't be of you in a suit and tie, would it? I'm guessing you're not getting the rights to that footage.

SWEET! Thanks for sharing those pics from last year, Rachel! We really had a blast and gave away so much stuff. This year should be at least as much fun. I'm working on trying to provide a surprise aircraft, but I can't promise anything yet. Oh, and since I've yet to receive any entries in the film festival, I guess nobody's interested in the top prize of 1hr of free ParacleteXP tunnel time?

Oh man, you'll soon know what you're missing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBvgEdqHmdw&feature=related He's got other good songs, but this one is obviously appropriate today.

Jonathan Coulton cracks me up, and I love that song. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Sweet! Can't wait to see you guys there! We'll have at least an Otter and our PAC. If we need it, we'll have another Otter available to meet jumper demands. No specialty aircraft yet, but that doesn't mean I'm not trying. I think it's safe to say that we gave away a heck of a lot of stuff last year, including swag and other stuff during the film festival to people sitting in the crowd. In fact, one lucky jumper got a free rig just for being the one military jumper with rattiest rig at the event. There will be a big party, much like last year, after the film festival on the 28th. So, come for the free stuff and the cheap jumps, and stay for the fun and people.

If you wanted to talk about our boogie and film festival, this is the thread to do that. If not, then you might want to start your own thread to talk about Raeford and your plans regarding your visit. I'm not trying to be rude, but it's hard enough to keep people focused in these forums without hijacking legitimate threads. On another note, if you'll be around June 27-29, we're having one heck of a boogie and film festival that weekend. There will be plenty to keep you occupied, I promise.

I'll ask around and see what I find out. With aviation fuel prices rising, causing jump ticket prices to go up, this boogie, with $20 jump tickets guaranteed, is going to be a really good deal. We don't have a registration fee, so all you have to do is show up, register for free and jump your hiney off. I've just confirmed with ParacleteXP's Tim D'Annunzio that the first place prize for the film festival is 1hr in the super-sized XP tunnel! And remember, the more inventive and unique your video is, the more likely it is it will make it past the first cuts. Something with a story, a spoof of a movie/commercial/TV show or an original creation that isn't of the "here's my favorite music attached to my favorite skydiving clips" variety will garner the most attention. June 15th is the deadline for submissions. Hope to see you all there!

Hey! Happy birthday, photo-monkey! I still need to pick my favorite shot and get it sent to me. I've just been, uh, lazy. Hope you have a great birthday, my friend.

What time on Wednesday? I get off work at 3pm, and it's only about a 20-minute drive. Wait...you aren't one of those belly guys, are you?

I believe he has a conflict: http://gaylife.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=gaylife&cdn=people&tm=181&gps=85_5348_1276_660&f=00&tt=2&bt=1&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.sfpride.org/ You know, I actually laughed out loud in my office reading that. I'm glad you'll be around for this one, John. If you're planning on getting in on Will's freefly dives, I may have to hand over organizer duties to someone else for a few jumps just to get in a FF jump with you...if for no other reason than to jump with someone who has a similar fall rate. Thanks for the offer of your vocal stylings. I may take you up on that for the film festival presentation, although that is more of a live gig.

At this moment, it looks like Mirage and Aerodyne will most likely be in attendance at this event, with more to come as we hear back from vendors.

Happy belated birthday, Chelle! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I'm guessing that this time, a Catholic priest with the voodoo doll from when Arvel was 8yrs old will be gluing gum drops on the doll's chest, prompting Arvel to need an emergency breast reduction during the time of the film festival.

***BUMP*** I just received word that Jumpshack is sending a prize package for this event, with more vendors and prizes to be announced! I'm telling you, we won't be sucking at Raeford on the 27th through the 29th of June...or any other time, but especially at that time.
