Default HOPS Party Invitation

And, the most famous picture of all, from the very first HOPS Party:
http://tinyurl.com/6599f4


I dont know man, I'm trying to leave the hard partying life behind me...


That was taken at the very first HOPS Party, back before we realized that we
needed to serve something OTHER than beer and wine. Ya know, like FOOD?

After being on the flight line all day in 90+ degree weather, re-hydrating
with beer turned out to be a rather dangerous approach. Many of us barely
made it out of Friar Tucks alive, so we decided that (in the future) all
HOPS parties would include food.
