chuckakers 425 #1 July 20, 2003 Howdy Ya'll, We have this little ol' skydivin' thing down here in Houston every year or so, and we wuz jus' wondern' if ya might wanna join us. Ya see, it's like this. Every August a bunch of us jumpers mozy on down to NASA for a few hops and a reeeeaaaaal good party. You know NASA, the big ol' command center for that there rocket program we got. Well they put on a festival that includes a heap of balloons, skydivers, hang gliders, rockets, and a bunch of other stuff. There's live bands, food and drinks, craft makers, and more things than you can find at the county fair. Over 100,000 Texans (and some other fine folks) will be there this year!!! Now I know it sounds like yer doin' a demo all weekend, cuz ya are. That's why you gotta have one of them there "D" licenses, a square reserve (in date dangit) and USPA membership (even though the varmits dont deserve it). More important - we're kinda picky about which cowpokes we'll take on this here aerial stampede. Since there's so many whuffos around (yep, we call 'em that down here too) we gotta be reeeeaaaal careful 'bout screwin' up. If ya wanna ride, ya gotta git ok'd by a posse boss. Well anyway, this year were doin' it August 22nd thru the 24th. This dang thing gets better every year. This year we're invitin'… Formation skydivers (that's RW fer you ol' guys) doin’ 30-ways!! Freeflyers (that impossible fer you ol' guys) doin freeflyer stuff CReW (fer you crazy guys) doin’ that CreW stuff And here's the best part - the whole dang thing is only $25 registration and $15 CASA jumps! Yep, I know yer sayin' "ain't no way I just read $15 CASA jumps", but ya did!!! Fer yer bucks, ya git dinner, beer, passes to space center houston, a goodie bag filled with goodies, event t-shirts and hats, prizes, and a bunch of other stuff. And here's the really best part - the pool party Saturday night will buck ya right off yer high horse. Jell-o shots, the "cowboy booze luge" and a whole bunch a barely dressed bodies...some even worth lookin' at!! And here’s the really really best part. Since it’s a demo with lots of people around, the 10 second rule will be in effect, YEEEEEHAAAWWWW!!!!!! Now before I go any farther, let me tell ya somethin’ partner. This little ol’ thing ain’t fer you “gotta-jump-my-chaps-off” types. In fact, we’re only gonna rustle up half a dozen jumps per cowboy all weekend. No sir, it ain’t about that. This here weekend is all about gettin’ together as a big ol’ skydivin’ family, puttin’ on a great show for thousands of folks, partyin’ yer asses off at the pool, and generally enjoyin’ the most…well…enjoyable parts of jumpin’. Just ask anybody that's rode with us before and they'll tell ya - this is one skydiving event ya don't wanna miss!! So if yer interested here’s watcha do. E-mail me and request an application. Include yer experience, license number, discipline, etc. Remember, every cowpoke must be approved by a posse boss. If yer accepted, we’ll send ya a form to sign up!! And don’t ferget to pass the word around. Seems every year we have a couple empty saddles and cowboys that find out too late to join the rodeo. We’re gonna have a reeeeaaaal good time, so come ride with us!! Chuck Akers Posse Boss chuck_akers@hotmail.com 281-960-7120 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
