skybitch 0 #26 April 25, 2001 Alternatively, for you UK sky dudes, there is allegedly a boogie at Langer in May which promises to be a reet larrrf...Admittedly, Nottingham lacks the coffee houses and nude laydees of the 'Dam, nor does it possess the heart-lifting views and blue seas of Empuria, but hey, it'll be cheaper!And the state of my bank balance having returned from a windy weekend in Espana (why??? why????), this could be a deciding factor...Not sure if I'm going but I met some nice 8-way team chaps from langar while I was in Empuria and they said it would be coooool..Let me know ladies and gents..Skybitch UK (to avoid confusion) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #28 April 25, 2001 Quotethere is allegedly a boogie at Langer in May which promises to be a reet larrrf...Yep, me and Ben'll be there, you obviously met Rusty and Dave at Empuria, so come on down and get dirty with us...Oh yes, I live in London so give me a shout if you need lifts or the like./sPS if you check the dates you will notice that there is no conflict and the boys will be at both the DZ.com and Langar boogies...

BenW 0 #32 April 26, 2001 Skybitch (UK),You must have been in Langar at the same time as me! I've just come back from there. The Langar 8 way team you refer to is the "Box of Frogs". I was there jumping 6 & 8 way with a bunch of Dutch crayzees for the week. Sort of just hooked up with them and the rest is history...I'll be at the Langar boogie also - For the first weekend only though. I've got the boogie at Texel this weekend, the boogie at Langar next weekend and the European leg of the DZ.com boogie at Texel 3 weeks after that! Phew...European Stage Contestants,I'll find out some info on the ferry, accomodation etc and let you all know. I'll probably be heading up there from Amsterdam after work on Friday (about lunchtime) with my motorbike.Hmm, the Langar boogie? Make sure you have *plenty* of pills for the mornings...B.

BenW 0 #33 April 26, 2001 Ok,the Ferry to Texel will cost you 82.50 Guilders for the return journey including 3 passengers. At 3.5Fl fo the GBP you get a grand total of £23.57 sterling. Or 33.92 dollars of the US variety.The ferry runs (floats?) every 1/2 hour from 6.30ish am till 11.30ish pm.If you want more info, go to http://www.teso.nl. there is a choice of languages to choose from, but alas, no English (US) aka microsoft...Will get back to you ref accomodation, tents, beer etc...B.

skreamer 1 #35 April 26, 2001 Quoteman i don't think i can afford that fairy ride thoughYou take the fairy ride, I think I'll stick with the ferry.../sPS I have booked the day's leave and will buy my flight ticket next week. WOO-WOO-HOOOOO!!! Amsterdam brace yourself!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenW 0 #36 April 26, 2001 Hé Wingy!Ik spreke klein beetje Nederlands. The office talks predominantly in English, but I try to expand my Dutch vocab each day much to the amusement of my Dutch colleagues!Ref your Fairy ride. 33 USD is not much between the 3 of you! 11 USD each - come on... Don't be such a tight wad! Glad I'm going on the Ferry and not the Fairy - you keep that to yourself...Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #37 April 26, 2001 god damn it! that's tha last time i don't proof read my posts!!!! i think i'd pass on the fairy ride and take a ferry myself too.....and i was joking on not being able to afford the FERRY ride. they should just build a big a$$ bridge though...then we could make an extra jump......but of course there would probly be a toll to use the bridge. oh well....looks like i'll be riding the FERRY "if dreams are like movies, then memories are like films about ghosts"-counting crows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #38 April 26, 2001 OK Ben and HufferWingi's official nick-name at the dz.com boogie is now officially going to be Fairy Wingnut!!! waaahahahahahahahaAlso do you guys want me to start looking into getting some T-shirts knocked up? If you have access to a good (read cheap) T-shirt printing place let me know, otherwise I will get it done here. I reckon they should be personalized with skreamer, Wingnut, Huffermoose on the back - Ben what do you want on yours? Impuriel? Also we can make up an extra one for the main dude and post it to him (never hurts to suck up to the big chief ). Also, anybody else out there, let us know now if you want in on the dz.com action.Here is the itinerary roughly :Thursday evening (24 May) meet up in Amsterdam (accomodation : hotel? huffer's mate?) get shit-faced and go for swim in canal, claim diplomatic immunity and superiority if police get involved at any stage (wingi remind me to tell you about my run-in with the San Diego police 2 years ago...)Friday morning (25 May) drive to Texel (if weather is jumpable - early; weather is crap, leisurely brunch in Amsterdam)Rest of the weekend : Skydive our asses off (if weather is crap, drink till we drop)Hope that itinerary isn't too detailed for you fellas! Good thing Amsterdam has a *special* red-light district for wingi and his fairy friends... hee hee/s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenW 0 #42 April 26, 2001 S,The Ts are a great idea, not sure what to have put on the back of mine though! Ben Who is what I was called when I raced motorbikes - that fits in with the BenW bit. Sorta. Then there's always the Impuriel bit...What picture are you gonna have put on them? How much? When? Where? etc.Sounds good to me!/The Impure one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #43 April 26, 2001 I am still totally open to ideas about the Ts afterall everybody has to be happy with them. Give me some feedback on the following :Colour? white?We'll keep it simple how about :On the front: Euro DZ.com boogieTexel 25 - 27 May 2001(spread the word)On the backskreamerwww.dropzone.com(the word is legs!)OK, now remember that you can't all have Ts with my nick on them, so wingnut can have wingnut, huffermoose can have huffermoose and yours can have whatever you decide on (I know its hard, so let me know if I must explain it again)forget a pic because it will just look crap and we will definitely not agree on it anyway./s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
