Entry Packet Info

FAN CLUB

We are going to have quite the fan club in Boston.
Anyone know of a company that prints T-Shirts? I have one contact that is sending me pricing. She is nice, and I've worked with her before, but I want cheap here...so thought I'd see if anyone had any other contacts. Does Craig still know how to screen print Beth?

we needed a picture

Too many posts, too little pictures. This girl is HOTT (notice Hot with Two T's).
Cassi, I have ideas for this graphic that I just can't quite make work in Photo Shop. Want me to bring some soup over for you tomorrow and we can have a Mac Meeting?? I'm sure you'd like the company, and I have the time.

cheers from an old shipmate

hooch pirates--SWEET!!! even if i didn't know you, i'd root for your boat out of principle. i just don't know where to start with the booty jokes... :) i'm really jealous that you're rowing at the charles. again... best of luck to you and your boat though, have a blast, and row smartly, lass, on behalf of us lubbers who arn't ta be plottin' a scabbardly course down the mightiest of rivers. aaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!!

p.s., today's pirate tip 362: if you want the hip look of the eye patch but don't want to sacrifice field of view, "paint" the latest fall styles of patchery on with eyeliner or grease-based paint for the modern, traditional-but-sophisticated pirate. you'll be ready to pillage all the booty your bung hole can handle!

change in rules.

from HOCR website
PLEASE NOTE CHANGES FOR 2005:
There is NO PRACTICE Saturday morning due to a full day of racing. Competitors are advised to practice on Friday. Practice time will be available after the last race on Saturday (approx. 4:30pm). No boats may launch after 5:30, and for safety reasons, all boats must be off the water by 6:00pm. Crews violating this rule may be penalized or disqualified.

trying to launch during that one hour window on saturday could be hectic, should we row twice on friday, or just once and call it that...

FLIGHTS

Now that we're in (as the last 500 posts describe...), we need flights.
This is the Delta flight I'm going to book:
Friday, 10/21 #1140 8:35 - 11:06am
Monday, 10/24 #1432 9:10 - 11:58am
So we can practice Friday afternoon and get T-shirts before all the smalls run out.
OK, Shelly and I are booking that now. If for some reason we don't...I'll post again so I can catch up with all this posting.

LETS BOOK FLIGHTS

Shelly looked up flights. I'm going to book as soon as possible to get these good fares out there. Hopefully by tonight if we can talk about it at practice.

GT

Welcome Suzanna. We can keep up with her new habitat on her blog! Which looks nothing like the one in this picture...that was in the Valley of FIRE!
So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
