What is a Skaterfeast?

Is that where all those Eliminators, Spectras and Scisms eat Skaters?

(sorry, could not help myself)

OOhhh, you're gonna be drug through the coals for that one, Kent.:p

I will be there Sat AM. Doug has something up his sleeve about where he may want to display my boat... :eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D

Save me a spot, O.K. Sharkey:D

Ted, Are suggesting I should bring my props??? :eek: :eek: :D :D :D

Naw, still dialing in the little Cat. Got it to about 30-35 on Sunday though:D Unfortunately it started to "sneeze" so I got some more work to try and stop that. Maybe I'll just let all the gurus at Skaterfest lay hands on it and it SHALL BE HEALED!!!!!! HALLELUHEAH :D :D

Then I get to start on the next one:eek: :D :cool:

Sorry Kent....... But I think you've got it confused with Fantasy Fest................;)

P.S. It wouldn't be Skaterfest without C-Spray...and the Bat Boat

????

Thanks Rich!

9 Days and counting!

T2x - I appreciate the kudos, especially from you. Unfortunately, I am not certain that I will have time that weekend. :( Some time back, I agreed to host the NJPPC Delaware River Cookout/Raftup on the 18th. If I can make it over later in the day for the dinner, or for Sunday, I'll let you know. As far as the BatBoat goes, I'll have to see. (We'll be hosting the raftup with the Formula.) I'll let you know one way or the other as soon as my plans are finalized. Again, thanks for the invitation.
(By the way - If I don't make it, tell D'Annaballe I want my Ilmor book back NOW! He's had it for three years now...)

Chuck,

Me and a few of my boys, we can take care of it for you and the D'Annabaile well he can ***ettaboutit!:rolleyes: :p

Just kidding...hope to see you next weekend. Did you get my voicemail? If so give me a shout Thursday. Best wishes to Diane.

Shane:cool:

NJPPC.......Delaware River what?????? Hey Patnaude....methinks that event needs to move to Brick Township........

We'll have a special prize "Best appearing hookie player from the Delaware river Raftup at Skaterfest" ....or something.

Tell you what..... postpone it a week and the beer's on me!

If not,...... enjoy yourselves...and we'll toast y'all in absentia.

T2x

P.S. There are rumors that The Sorcerer and or Superman may be at Skaterfest........ A comic book feast.........

Skaterfest??? Isn't that where T2x gets wasted from inhaling too much NOS in his face mask?

8 days and counting!:D :D :D :D

Man if Sorcerer and Superman come that'll be AWESOME!

T2x - .....ummm, DaveP had already given us your credit card number, and said to bill everything to you anyway.

I'll try for Sunday, possibly with the Winged Wonder in tow. Could be an interesting shot with the other comic-book guys.

Hey shane,

Should be in NJ around 12ish on Saturday!!!Heading over with a few boats. E-mail me your cell number so we can hook up.


;)zzie

Ozman,

I will call you tonight or send you number tonight. They don't like us sending personal e-mails here at work. See ya next week dude!:D

7 days and counting!:D :D :D :D

Sorry but Norway rep can not come
 

Hi!

Sorry to inform you guys that we can not come due to illness in the family. Not dangerous, but to be alone ill is not always fun. Our new Skater 28 is on its way in a 40 feet container from Dubai. Can not really belive it to happen! Just started to polish my old lady Phantom 25 w/Promax 300 - so I survive waiting...

I have looked forward to meet all you Skater fans and discuss the fun of boating (expecially the north sea!). See you next time.

All cheers from Toffen, Heidi and the big cat Cæsar - Norway - Lillesand

Since Toffen will not be able to make it and possibly a few others, perhaps we could set up a WEB CAM for the event??? ;) :D :D

5 Days and counting................:D :D

Booked our rooms yesterday... nothing like waiting till the last minute....:) gonna spend a couple days in NYC too.
