So the planning begins - all attendees should have a little newsletter in your e-mail box - if for some reason you did not get it, please let me know. We are communicating this way because some of you are not on the forum.

If you are not on the forum and did not get a newsletter, please let me know that to.

We downloaded a map from the Balloon Fiesta Website. There are a couple of camping areas shown on the map. Where are we going to be set-up?

I think its called vip west - right next to the balloon museum - let me know if you have any trouble finding it -

Here is a good map. I put a small image where we were parked last year. Great location with balloons flying over your head every morning. A short walk to the field or an even shorter walk to the museum where you can pickup a free shuttle (golf cart) to the field area.

Hey, speaking of balloons, one of our guests just emailed another pic from our miniscule balloon rally here in Angel Fire. This one's of a balloon just about to land on their motorhome with another having just barely missed my garage:

(There are more pics from that rally on our website.)

Ken,
Was our check already there...? I've slept since the first installment, and can't get up.

one of the things this competition is allowing me to learn is that you promise ANYTHING until you're elected(crowned/tiara-ed), and then there you are...I hope the free ballooning tickets didn't sway your obviously astute judgement of my unimpeachable credentials to be the only logical TTQ candidate...the keg is also an incidental occurrence. That I already HAVE the tiara, silver thingie to hold on the hand that doesn't have the tootsie roll pop bouquet, and the undying adoration of somebody out there is also incidental

Ken J · 07-28-2008, 08:45 AM

Hmmm - so now I know the bribes and they have been confirmed - I had only heard rumors...

I'm reading overtime catching up on all the past activities regarding the festival rally. Since we are groveling our way in with an SOB, and have agreed to host a cocktail get together, Ken, we need to chat. Number of people? Cheap booze? Or not-so-cheap?! And what type of alcohol will be welcomed & consumed?! Boones Farm or some nouveau vintage??? Jim and I are looking forward to meeting this 'vintage' group. On another note our vintage Flying Cloud restoration of Pearl is coming along...s l o w l y . . . very, very slowly. I do love the challenge of locating vintage parts...it fills my days!

ps - Elated to see Paula back in the bunch....it's been too long!
