Well, when you come down off that roof, pull up a chair, grab a brew and chat awhile.
I don't think for one damn moment the number of Flings one has been to should be any kind of gauge. Seems to me that folks who rallied at the last minute getting Fling IV off the freeking ground once that sniper scare went away worked their butts off harder in a shorter amount of time than in past years...and that's my perception of just watching from the sidelines since there was no way my work schedule allows for last minute changes like that.
Are we all so old that we can't listen to new ideas from the young or new anymore? I sure as he!! hope not, because if we are, this hobby and this event will die from stagnation.
Yup...remember the growing pains and be proud of them, but let's not wallow in them.
BTW, check your sensitivity about the name tags...whole different joke going on there.
