Come to Reno next year.
I've met a few FReepers there, I've been trying for 4 years to get FReepers to make the trip. Sure, Reno is a long way from the East Coast but it's a fun week under the sun (and maybe rain and snow and wind) Depends on the weather at the time. In 2004 it was 95+ for the mid week but for the weekend it was in the 30's and snowing. Bring clothes for 3 seasons.
See you there? heheheheh
I used to live in Reno and Stead before I moved here to Vegas. My daughter lives up there too.
Aviation Nation is this weekend at Nellis. I work close to Nellis, so I've been watching them practice. I watched the Thunderbirds yesterday, they were roaring past our building, it was great!
