Default AAWYEAH! FlyingGiants at Tucson Shootout!

Hey Crew!

So the TAS is right around the corner and we're all giddy with excitement about the BIG ROAD TRIP! Check out our itenary:

Friday 10/20:Elie, Biff, Jeeum and the Aussie Contingent - Ian Howard (Howie), Rod Burley (2.6m-rod), and Mick Dakers (rcdart), all arrive at local airports here in Orange County for a weekend of FUN and hangovers.

TO EVERY MEMBER IN THE ORANGE COUNTY AREA: I would like to extend a formal invite to come hang with us, specifically to the bash we're throwing Saturday night! Gonna be fun folks!

I live in Costa Mesa, specifically 92627 if you guys want to look it up on a map. Drop me a PM if interested!

Saturday: Tour of Newport Beach pubs, harbor boat cruise in the afternoon, and a rager party on Saturday night complete with BON FIRE, pasta cookoff, and cold keg beer!

Sunday: In play. Possible tour of nasty 'ol Hollywood, might go flying, many options availaible, but it'll be fun. Sunday evening we'll be packing the all new FlyingGiants 39' mobile chalet command center, complete with keg.

Monday morning: All of us including Toro will be road trippin' out to Tucson! First stop: The Moon in Phoenix to watch Bogan practice, then to the Johnson casa for a little pre-event fun.

Tuesday - Sunday - It's GAME ON! Camping at the field with overflow at The RedRoof Inn! MommaD, MamaToro, Momo, and the whole crew will be onsite!

We'll be pumping back LIVE stuff from the event, and if requested, we'll broadcast the party at my house on Saturday evening. We'll be on the flightline folks, and the coverage will be off the hook. More info on this to follow..

So that's the tentative plan!! This is the last BIG EVENT that we'll be at for 2006, and we're goin' out with a BANG!

Honestly, I'm scared. More info to come.

I'll be there Tuesday night through Sunday! I will be driving my whole fleet in from Colorado Springs to do some off-site flying (everything from 35% to foam). We will all need to hook up!!!

OK, OK, I'm giving up my sailplane hours up in Estrella. I'll be at the TAS most of the week.

I'll look for the withdrawal syndromes to Id the Flying Giants staffers.

I'll bring the B-12 serum.

You ain't gonna believe this one.

So...............I get a email requesting I give a speech for about 45 minutes to a group of Dodge dealers, on a Sunday. I say no freakin way, I don't work on Sundays.

They offer more money.

I ask where, they tell me it's at some high dollar resort in Scottsdale. Pass

They offer more money.

OK, when is it? Oct 29th. Hmmm.........there is something going on that weekend, what is it? OH SNAP.......TAS!

Uhhhh...........I can go to TAS, hang with buds, party, give a speech, everyone clap and think I'm great and get paid?

BOOK IT!!

So, I'll be flying in Friday night, get in about 7:30 in PHX, drive a little bit over the mountains and though the woods to grandmaws house and to the TAS.

Anyone need a lift?

Got a room at the Red Roof.

Gonna spend the day at TAS, Saturday and hang though the night then drive up Sunday morning to do my deal.

GAME ON!
