Badass! Thistledown 2007. Pre-registration is open!

Hey guys...

Last year I had obligations that kept me from attending the Thistledown Fly-in.
I sat at a wedding bummed as hell... watching two people I hardly knew tie the knot...

WELL NOT THIS YEAR BABY.. I'm marking my calendar NOW.

This one is going to be off the hook, and we have plenty of time to prepare for it!

SO go here: http://www.thistledownflyers.com/ and pre-register... this sucker is going to sell out this year for sure.

Who's coming?

Who's in?

Sleepy, this event is on top of my list, the second biggest event to the Joe Nall, Corky and Jeff know how to throw a party, I will be there with my 50% Edge, I just looked at the THISTLEDOWN flyer's website http://www.thistledownflyers.com/
and it says that everything is for free, registration is for free, no landing fee, camping for free, parking for free, the only thing left is free food, guess what, food is for free on Saturday and here is the quote from the website
Quote:
Our famous Saturday night barbecue. Free steak dinner for registered IMAA Pilots!
What else can you ask for, go to the website and register because team LUSA and SNAP will be there to have fun.

Yes, of course, here is a quote from Jeff about the sound requirement.

Hi Elie : I guess the easiest way to say it is Oh Hell yes I'm going . They put on a kick ass event and this year I'm supposed to help them out with the safety there . It'll make my third year there and it just gets better . Really nice bunch of guys . I'd best get my registration in now that's it's online . See you in Sept. Corky & Jeff . Al

I'm hoping that I can make it again this year. Last year I had a blast. The trip to the even was another story, but the event was worth the trouble.

Rumor already floating around that Sleep can't make it............ He sez he'll be there, he was supposed to be there LAST YEAR!!!!!! If he was man enough, he should have gotten up and walked out of that wedding!!! I know I would have!!!!

Anyone taking bets that something comes up and he cannot make it...................

PapaJoe has a 6am alarm clock, and a 7am wake up call for all the campers at the field!!! Good ol' Cork has a NEW 300dB PA system soon to be in place, just for Max's drunk ass!!!
