Oh, so yesterday it was a free party, but today it will cost you a six

Now you're spamming dude, and we don't need a new post everyday to promote
it.

This is a DIFFERENT PARTY. *The one at the hotel in Iowa City on 7/25/09 is
FREE. * The one at our campsite in the North 40 on 7/29 will cost a 6-pack
of beer from your hometown -- not because we want to charge anyone, but
because it's a really kewl way for everyone to sample beers from all over
America.

Perhaps these crusty curmudgeons could go off and start their own group,
rec.aviation.no-fun-allowed, where they can avoid any mention of the
idea of partying at all costs.

Me, I think it's pretty cool to get a party invitation on here. Even
though I'm nowhere near the area and couldn't possibly make it, I think
it's pretty cool. And it's not like this is some high-traffic group
where topicality must be absolutely controlled at all costs.

In short, keep it up. And to those who think that aviation-themed party
invitations don't belong, why don't you go prosecute your War on Fun
somewhere else?

I'd love to get out there to one of Jay's annual parties. Been trying
to get back to Oshkosh for years now but things always seem to be
getting in the way. Jay's parties are a staple for a lot of the more
friendly and sane people who frequent this forum. Can't speak for Jay,
but I'd be willing to bet a six pack that if Maxwell showed up with a
smile instead of his usual crap, the guys might even offer him a
drink :-)
