Random DZ encounter

[mattb 0]

I hadn't really planned to jump last weekend. For a change my social calendar was full of non-jumping activities and I was content to stay home. Somehow (read - I was bored and surfing the web) I found out that there was going to be a Casa in Hinckley and decided to venture out to Chicagoland Skydiving.

I made my first tandem there 5 years ago and was looking forward to a return visit. I picked up the waiver saturday morning and made it about 15 feet in search of a place to sign my life away before somebody said "Are you mattb?" I did a double take unsure if they were talking to me. I don't post a lot here and didn't plan on being recognized. Turns out Wildblue who I met @ Summerfest 2001 was there with Val. The random encounter made the day a lot more fun. It was my second time jumping a tailgate (and first since AFP), my first Casa jumps, and an all around good time.

Unfortunately I didn't make it back on Sunday, something about being out until 4 AM left me wanting to sit on the couch and do nothing.

Just wanted to say it was great bumping into you and hope to meet more people soon.

Hey, Matt! It was good meetin' ya, even though we didn't get to jump together (but, I bought the rw suit, so I may as well use it!)

Looks like I'll be jumping quite a bit at Hinckley next season and stuff, so if you make it back out there...I'll try to do some funny freefly jumps with you!

There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Hey Matt!
Nice running into you out there. Thanks for the jumps! Watch that blast coming out of the Casa!

4am huh? Sounds like the pub crawl was a lot of fun.

it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I ran into "Mr. Hixx" at my DZ this weekend. Visiting Texas from Nebraska.

It's nice to meet people you chat with.

Great Jumping with you Jon. Come back soon.
