Thank you, Rats!

This was a _great_ weekend and the three of you (Robert, Bryan, Shannon) worked your tails off videoing all of us working our tails in the sky! This trio did a GREAT job of organizing this event and the prizes were fantastic!

More thanks to the DZ staff (Deb and Phil), Dirty Sally for the live music, Dave Hobbs for all the beer (every weekend), and to Vibe (those dudes are _seriously_cool_) for coming down from Dallas to be part of this great time!

Congratulations to every participant as well !
