Hum Eight

Oh wow, I'm on the eighth post already!
...gosh, it seems like only yesterday that I was starting a blog...knowing my sense of time, space and dimension, it probably was. I MISS PARACHUTE! Gosh, parachute was so much fun. I may have to annoy everyone by doing a play by play diary of what actually happened. Ha! I think I will so that if anyone searches PARACHUTE '06 on the blogsearch, my blog will come up. My blog will also come up if you search HUM...I think.
BTW, If you want to check out what's in store for Parachute 2007, click here. Yes, like on the word here.
So here goes:

TOP TEN TIPS

1. Buy Up and Go and V. And lots of it.
2. Bring your warmest sleeping bag.
3. Don't expect to get much sleep.
4. Bring lots of cash. Like, $20 a day for food.
5. Buy muesli bars.
6. Don't bring water, you can get it there for free from a supply near your site.
7. You can actually bring your hairdryer, most sites have a power supply within 20m.
8. It gets hot in the day. Real hot.
9. It's not so cold at night, but it is cold.
10. If you are going to sleep, do it in the day. From say, 10:00 AM till 4:00 PM.

OMG I can't wait for next year.
