There were 3,500 DRN members...

Now just in the 4th year, there will be 30,000.

Wow.
Good thing everyone doesn't go to DW!

Just wait, I can see this being bigger than Sturgis,

 

[Okiewan]

Say it aint so Jeff.

First DW truck broke down on the way there and we missed it. Right then and there we promised not to miss another and haven't.
Worst part of missing- Sitting home all week wishing we were there then facing the next month of reading about how great it was.

After last year I can attest to that!!

 

[jetzoomy]

This will be my first time. I'm goin with my dad (Ryanoa) and my uncle (ZIO).

 

[ryanoa]

This will be my first. Zio tells me it's a whole lotta fun. Can't wait!

 

[GETMETOCA]

Hey Jetzoomy and Ryanoa!! 

More Californian's! :yeehaw: More Californians! :yeehaw:

 

[MrMXer327]

Jared will be a Virgin, but the rest of us have been to 00 - 01 - 02 and soon to be 03. Should have seen the look on my wife's face when after starting a new job and dropping to 1 week of Vacation... I informed her that one week would be used for DW03.

She wasn't too upset.. she broke down an allowed me to take the little guy out of school for a week.

 

[XR3J]

This will be my second, and I hope I can make it to the rest of them. :yeehaw:

Ah c'mon JP!  You forgot the fung shui tent arrangements , the raffle for the free Birkenstocks, and maybe a little sunrise yoga under the Big Top. ;)

I think we can all agree that some of zio's posts are poetry :)

Uh yeah... if you count toilet ( :moon: ) stories as poetry

Thump must be a poet too, he has a great bowel movement tale! ie Muenster Spodefest

 

[Midhigh]

My first DW.

Did the linkage and swingarm, new chain, putting in .38kg front springs and 4.8kg shock spring(Race Tech), new IMS pegs, and I'm ready to go.

 

[Okiewan]

Humm... 24 sacrificial virgins this year?
Didn't you wonder why Jeff was asking for all the n00bs to identify themselves? :laugh:

 

[XRpredator]

bring it on

 

[zio]

When you're asking yourself "Is it me, or does ryanoa talk a little slow?", just remember where he's from. He's 30 now, and still coming down. It's like Cherynobl- everything looks fine years later, but there's still a bit of radiation lingering. Also worth noting- He likes his women natural, he subscribes to a knitting magazine, and he wants to live in a teepee. That pretty much sums it up.

Get ready, you midwesterners.... We're coming!

 

[Philip]

This is our first. It is suppose to be something you remember all your life, so be gentle and make it memorable. :moon: :laugh: :laugh:

And BTW as for as California, I know Nat lives there but I think she is part cajun. From the little I know she likes Cajun food and Drinks. So she is at least an honorary cajun. No Tofu and wheatgrass down here.

 

[BEEF706]

Phillip, no blackened tofu and catfish? I'm not eskeert I ll line up with all the other newbies (Right behind XRP :p )

"Jane, you ignorant :eek:" :confused:

... And Jetzoomy (nephew Nathan), he's a trip. The kid has no self-esteem issues whatsoever. And I love him to death. He was my favorite toy in high school & college. I did stuff to him that would have given other mothers a stroke. We duck-taped him to all sorts of things- skateboards, one of those bubble-cars, etc, I used him to pick up chicks in the s' dorm, and in return he peed the bed whenever he spent the night.

I'm looking forward to the 24 hr. road trip with him crammed in the jumpseat in my little Toyota pickup. There's not much room back there, even less with my subwoofer. I could take it out, but we may want to bump a bit to some Pdiddy or Snoop-Dog on the way.

 

[gospeedracer]

4th year in a row for me! :)

So Zio, are you bringing back up this year so you will have someone to do the talking for you? Or do you still plan to communicate with the rest of us from your tent via your laptop? :p

 

[zio]

I plan on using body language. A smile will mean "Hi! How are you doing today?" A shrug means "I don't know", or "I didn't understand your question, but don't know how else to react". A dark spot on the front of my jeans menns "I'm a bit uncomfortable". And humping your leg means "I really like you, can we be friends?"

 

[Camstyn]

It'll be my first Dirtweek, but I went to the RMD Spodefest in Dallas '98 :yeehaw:
