The Dates You Have Been Waiting For (SF06)

Recommended Posts

SkyFest Updates

We lost the stearman[:/]
But we have confirmed the Pitts!

We have made arrangements for the Stearman to be at SD Aggieland for their AOT boogie, so you can jump it there.

The Pitts will run $110.00 this includes an aerobatic ride as well as the jump. we are working on getting a separate price for a "no" ride jump. we will let you know.

We have one more challenge that we need your help on. The balloon pilot has had to cancel. we have been trying to find more balloons, does anyone have any leads for a jumpable balloon?
we have nearly exhausted our sources.

As you know we do not advertise events or AC without prior confirmation. Unfortunately these challenges were out of our control

Has anyone booked at the Days Inn in Alvin? And did you mention SkyFest or Skydiver?

I called, but they didn't know about Skydiver rates. They asked that I call back during business hours.

When I compared the distance of the hotels on Mapquest, Alvin is 18 miles from the DZ and Angleton is 13 miles from the DZ. I had to pay $5 more per night to stay at the Best Value in Angleton, but it's five miles closer.

What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy
ones? -- Monday.

Yes, I have rooms booked there. I got the 49.99 rate. The girl I talked with told me they were almost booked up... and this call took place on Monday.

Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Thanks guys

Just trying to clear up a small mess.:(

Funny about Mapquest, we were told they were both 12 miles from the DZ.:S

See yall soon

J



Are you telling me Alvin is further than 12 miles from the DZ? Do I need to change it to Angleton?

No, we've been told by people in that area that both Alvin and Angleton are 12 miles from the dz. Stick with Alvin. That's who gave us the better rates. :)


If they're not both the same distance, it's not enough difference to matter. Either would be fine and neither are very far away.

I just doublechecked the driving directions on Expedia.com. It said Days Inn in Alvin is 16.8 miles and Best Value Inn in Angleton is 13 miles from the DZ... probably not enough difference to matter. I already had reservations in Angleton and didn't want to go through the hassle of changing them.

Which has better restaurant choices? I know we ate at Chili's and a couple more places in Angleton last year...

Hhmm. Probably Angleton. But it's better to actually go to Pearland as there are MANY more choices for restaurants there. It's not that big of a deal to drive to Pearland and then return to Angleton or Alvin. Alvin is closer to Pearland though. Angleton has Chili's, Arby's, McDs, and a handful of other typical restaurants.

There's almost always a group going to Pearland for Dinner at one of the restaurants. We usually car pool there and back. More restaurants than I can list here in Pearland, but Italian, Mexican, Steak, Sushi, fast food, Fuddrucker's, TGI Friday's, Chili's, just to name a few.

Ben

Hang tight for me till midday tomorrow before you do anything, let me straighten something out.

What Nathan says is correct, I cant vouch for the Pearland part cause I never made it passed Angleton:S.

Let me see what I can do.

thanks

please be friendly and jump with the newbie



Not a Chance!!
Skyfest would NEVER do something like that. Jump with Newbies??? Next you will be asking if someone would be willing to help you get your SCR. And Nice?? This crowd?? Never happen, They are all just Grumpy Skygods that go home soon as the jumping is done.;):D:D

Hey J.. Just got my Ticket.. Not coming in till early Friday Morning. Make sure noting fun happens till I get there!!;)

Oh and are you getting those same beer Opener Girls you had last year?? They were nice and friendly untill Skinny and I ended up in the Beer Tub.
