I thought it was no smoking within eight hours of flying and
no drinking within 100 feet of the airplane.

Hmmm... If that was the case, then nearly everyone in the North 40 last year
violated the second part of that rule... grin

Darn lawyers. One cannot even have a friendly party anymore.
If the Wright Brother's had consulted an attorney when they first
thought about building an airplane, they would have gotten out of the
bicycle business, too. (More people die in bicycle accidents than
aircraft accidents.)

Actually,I was going to post a response to Larry, but realized the
scissors sound byte said it all

Hi Jay - I plan to make a cameo appearance, weather permitting.

How does one get to the hotel after landing at IOW? (Is it walking
distance?)

Our first annual "Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party" starts at 3 PM Sunday
here
in Iowa City!

We've now added poolside live music in addition to the "Lifter Technology"
flight demonstrations. Come enjoy the beer, food, music, and camaraderie
of
hanging around with a bunch of crazy pilots en route to the Big One in
OSH!

That's great, Ben!

While we are within walking distance, just have the line guys at IOW give us
a call. We'll come getcha!

Can't taxi up to the hotel?

Are you planning a live webcast of this event? or at least a live web
cam????

You volunteering?

Just trying to be as involved as possible with no plane!

Who needs a plane? Drive, bike, ride, or glide in -- we'll have a cold one
for you!

oh yessss ... let's all get again into it in telling Jay what he should
setup for us geeks ... :-))

but sure, a webcam pointing to the airport (or showing the pool, etc.)
wouldn't be the worst of all ideas.

Of course in light of certain posts in this thread, a webcam would only
provide evidence that some adult can't take personal responsibility for
themselves and would have to blame the event host.

Seriously though, Jay for next year (assuming you make it through the
litigation this years event causes), lets plan ahead for it. I have access
to a cheap little webbased camera that can be mounted anywhere (vise type
mount) and plugged into an ethernet jack. So, if you have cable and/or DSL,
this would be a 10 minute setup....and great fun for all us
wannabetheres.....

I am in search for such _cheap_ good webcams (like Axis) with ethernet. But
the are average going $300 to $400 ... can you point me to a good seller?
