chuckakers 425 #1 March 19, 2004 This is technically a post for an event, but it's also an announcement of interest to all jumpers. We are trying to spread the word of our reunion event and all help is appreciated. Like most DZ's, we have old friends spread all over the place, so we could use the help.Dear Fellow Skydivers, I am writing today with very exciting news. THE SUSA REUNION BOOGIE IS ON!!! The date is set for June 24 – 27 at Skydive Spaceland. Yes, that’s four solid days of boogieing SUSA style! Talk of a reunion began almost immediately after Delia, the kids, and I closed Skydive USA in 2001 and left the DZ business. To be honest, I think everyone really just wanted to know when the next killer SUSA party would be. We did develop quite a reputation for our little gatherings, and this one should get completely unreasonable since I don’t have to clean the place or answer to the Mayor. But seriously, Skydive USA was a very special drop zone. The jumpers embraced the true spirit of our sport – the connection of souls and the sharing of incredible experiences with the coolest people on the planet. That seamed to be at the core of everything we did, as it will be at the reunion. Please consider this your personal invitation to attend an event to be remembered. Here’s the scoop………. Thursday and Friday – Organized REUNION JUMPS!!!!! Let’s commemorate SUSA by getting old friends together for some low key, high fun-factor jumps with an emphasis on our own brand of nostalgia. Here’s a tip: schedule off work NOW!!!!!!!! Thursday evening – dinner out, location T.B.A. Thursday and Friday – LADIES-WAYS – what better way to get everyone to the DZ early than to get the ladies to the DZ early? We’ll supply the organizing!! These jumps are also a warm-up/try-out for those wanting to participate in the ladies state record 2 weeks later at Spaceland during Skyfest!! Now that I think about it, we may set a record ourselves! Friday evening – cocktail party and live acoustic music from Stacy Steele and company…bring a bottle to stock your personal bar. Cocktail mixers and beer provided. Saturday and Sunday – organized RW, CRW, and Freefly jumps all weekend!!! We’re also working on a balloon and helicopter, so watch for more information on that. Saturday night – OK, this is gonna ROCK. The climax of the weekend – Saturday at sunset. Join us for the PARTY – the BEACH PARTY – the Hawaiian BEACH PARTY!!!! OK, ok, a SUSA PARTY!!! LIVE MUSIC, KEGS, JELLO-SHOTS, REVEREND RICK’S BODY SHOT CONFESSIONAL, WORLD RECORD “WHARTON WAVE” ATTEMPTS, AND of course THE BOOZE LUGE!! IT’S A LUAU so bring your WORST HAWAIIAN SHIRT TO WIN PRIZES!!! Sunday A.M. – recovery breakfast, coffee and breakfast munchies for everyone walking, crawling, or otherwise able to move Sunday – more organized jumps and the “Survivors Party” near sunset. Location TBA??????? We hope you’ll make plans to be there for our first reunion boogie. And don’t think this event is only for old SUSA jumpers. Come share the experience. By the way, you can help make this event a success by forwarding this message to your skydiving friends. THANKS!!
