Purple Haze... "Excussseee me while I kiss the sky" - can't go wrong with that.

So incredibly jealous. I'm doing that one of these days.

I actually drive an '03 - they're great cars. Last I looked, it's a bit of a buyer's market; you should be able to find some pretty kickass deals on decent cars if you're willing to wait a bit and put some funds together for a C5/C6 even. If you're sticking to pre-C5, I agree; the C4s are bleh (the ones you're calling Trans Am-ish, even though I kinda like TAs). Other than that, some good advice in this thread

Just figured I'd ask. Always looking for new stuff.

Not a current student or licensed jumper (tragedy, I know... sigh), but I was also slightly nauseous under canopy on my tandem. I was perfectly fine with the jump otherwise and had no problem with the height / idea of leaping from a plane / the usual suspects, so I also attributed this to harness fit.

Very nicely done, mate - nice choice of music, as well.

Things like that, along with the aforementioned snotty commentary, will definitely push me to another dz, no questions asked. Pretty damn pathetic, and even more so when they tried to disable right-click / highlighting (yeah, because that's not hard to work around or anything) instead of just removing that garbage. (also another semi-geek here, so nice find on the not-so-hidden text.)

Surprisingly enough, I missed that HSW piece when I was poking around. Thanks!

My skydiving experience is so far limited to a couple tandems and an interest in going AFF (which probably won't be for at least a little while); in the meantime, does anyone happen to have a link or two to some detailed overviews on how all of the gear works together? Thanks.

I haven't found anything in brief searching, but has this ever been mentioned? I know there's a dropzone in Beeville, a little over an hour away, but I would imagine that with ~282,000 people, a DZ in Corpus might just attract a few people. I've been to the Beeville one but figured I'd ask.

Tried, but it got bounced back: : The e-mail message could not be delivered because there are no users here by that name. Ruh roh.

Subject says it all. Some time ago, I emailed them asking about what was going on since there had been no updates for a long, long time, and received no response; now, the Yahoo! store they had is password-protected entirely. When did that happen? And does anyone know of another source to get necklaces similar to the ones they had? I really liked a few of them. Of course, I'm still thinking about trying to make one since the pics a few of you posted in my last closing pin necklace thread were amazing, but I'd like to know

I took a look; are they still taking orders? I emailed awhile back and got no response, and last I checked, I couldn't browse products.

Interested in picking a nice, understated one up. Anyone care to share where they found theirs/vouch for some retailers?

Same thing happened to me, and everyone else covered it perfectly :)
