goofyjumper 0 #76 August 26, 2004 Ya how much are tickets to the game? I want to jump in Eloy on sat, I have to I have never been (oops, I guess I better get beer) there and I heard it was a great dropzone. I will get your number from Lee tommorrow. Thanks for the invite!----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #77 August 26, 2004 Let me start with my understanding of what happened.I was told that the owner of Skydive Tallahassee is upset with him for organizing a trip to another dz for the weekend.This is what I am stating my comments on. I have been organizing events for acouple of years that at times take people away from the DZ.The reason for this is to get together with old friends and make new ones.Why do it off the DZ you ask???It is because of crap like this that makes some people not want to go here or there.In the process we have made new friends at new dz's and then we go to visit our new friends at their dz.Just to clarify how this all works in the long run what goes around comes around.You might miss a few jumpers one weekend and gain a few on another.Well......unless you make everyone mad for some reason and everyone decides they would rather be somewhere else with their friends. I heard nothing but good things about the DZ in Tallahassee from the group that came up to The Farm on the 14th.But from the looks of it I would not be welcome there either as I am guilty on the same thing Lee is.

JT-Mirage 0 #78 August 26, 2004 Chris, I seriously doubt you would not be welcome there. I don't know what happened and it is none of my business either but i know the boogie will be fun and you don't need to miss it. Of course you know there will be bands there and me from Mirage, Aubrey and Nick from Aerodyne, Erika from Birdman, the PD crew as well and TJ will be coaching and organizing. It would be good to see you anyway so make sure you are there!! JT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychoswooper 2 #79 August 26, 2004 Chris; You have been misinformed. It has nothing to with that at all. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Anybody who knows me knows that I myself am quilty of that. I am probably the only DZO in the World who closes my DZ to go fun jump at other DZs with jumpers from my DZ. You are very welcome here and have always been. If you decide not to come to the party, we'll miss you. But please think again before making a decision based on an inaccurate report. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueskyserenity 0 #80 August 26, 2004 So, can Lee come play w/ us? Please????? I feel like a two yr old, but I reeealllyyy wanted to come and jump w/ he and Brandy. Did I say please?????I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #81 August 26, 2004 Guys, remember there is always two sides to every story and this is obviously something the dzo does not want to talk about on the internet, nor should she feel obliged to. I suggest everyone let this issue drop in this thread and get back to planning and discussing a kick-ass anniversary boogie. If you have any more questions about Lee, I'm sure they can be handled better via pm or in person at the boogie. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RastaRicanAir 0 #82 August 26, 2004 Being that this is my first boogie in the place where I was born as a skydiver, that I will be largely responsible for maintaining the atmosphere of the party, and that I intend to make it my personal duty to make all of our visitors feel at home, I would REALLY appreciate it if we could stay focused on the subject at hand, and avoid sidetracking this thread with accusations, implications and rumor mongering. Yes, Lee started this thread, but if I may be so bold, I've expended almost as much effort to keep it going, and building, for the simple reason that: I love my fellow skydivers, and I love to see people I love having a good time. I'm not trivializing anyone or their feelings. No one who knows me can question how I feel about each of the people on my dropzone, or how I feel about possible issues between them. But I won't be discussing it on this particular post, if any. In my short time of hearing skydivers repeatedly characterized as a family, I've learned it's basically true. And therefore I'm not surprised that -like my own family- we find it instinctually challenging to mind our own business. I'm not trivializing that either. It's that same instinct that keeps us watching each others backs from the door to the ground, and throughout the days. But, just like with family, if there is an issue between a particular number of people on a particular dropzone, it's probably better dealt with by the IMMEDIATE FAMILY FIRST, then maybe by others as they are invited into the discussion. Of course, I also understand that we are a breed not renowned for keeping our thoughts to ourselves. In fact, I was of that breed long before I ever set foot on a dropzone. So if you absolutely can't restrain yourself from making what has been characterized as an "internal" issue public, I ask and urge you to make use of another thread ... Strike that, skymama's suggestion is even better: QuoteIf you have any more questions about Lee, I'm sure they can be handled better via pm or in person ...so that we can keep using this one for it's original purpose: promoting what some of us have worked -and will continue to work- very hard to make sure is the best and most enjoyable boogie possible. I look forward to seeing as many of you as can possibly be here. And once again, if you have any particular music you must hear to make your Saturday night complete feel free to (in fact, it would be a big help if you) place your requests early at fullspectrumentertainment@earthlink.net One Love, -RR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirage63 0 #83 August 26, 2004 Hey let's get back to the THE REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF. The blue hairs (FF) are trying to steal our sunset load!! Now I know MOST of us old RW folks don't like to fight......so let's show them "the love" and bring your small guns.....we don't want to kill the little buggers, just hurt'em a little and keep them away from the plane at sunset.

It's going to be about going back to the good ole days for me, so I'll try to squeze into the RW suit and jump with you old farts(oops I think I am in that category now) Oh yea, If you could take me out on a few of the skydives, it sure would feel like old times when I used to jump with you guys.

Every day that I am out at the DZ someone teaches me something new to keep me and all of the other jumpers safe, for that I am eternally thankful. Let's keep up the learning and have a great time at the 10 yr party. He was a little too slow........so we killed him.
