30 seconds left in the game, the Bishop's just scored and now the Rooks are down by 6.  The kickoff lands softly in the hands of Ripsnort.  Rip sweeps deftly to the right, a small wall of blockers in front.  Just then some programmer from Grapevine splits the wall of blockers and dives at Rip's feet.

Rip contorts his body in a twist to the left and launches a desperate lateral lob to Bongo who somehow catches it and starts up the left sideline.  Suddenly Bongo is tossed widly in the air by a low shoulder tackle from the Bishop's star Spit driver.  Bongo faintly hears the voice of Hobo yelling from just behind his right shoulder.  He flips the ball in the general direction of Hobo's voice.

Hobo lunges for ball and it bounces off his considerable belly and lands in his hands where grips it for dear life.  Hobo lowers his shoulder and shakes off tackles by two Niki pilots.  He stiff arms a third Bishop only to be pulled into a high blackout by the likes of some ace flying a 109.  As he loses conciousnance (sp) he hears a faint whine.  It's the unmistakable sound of a Pony screaming up from behind.  It must be...

Daddy to the rescue!  


Tune in tomorrow...same Ace time...same Ace channel, for the exciting conclusion to AH NWminicon 2000!

LOL Swager!  

The reason for  a "localized" mini-con is , they're simpler  to orchestrate and manage, therefore, it's easier to  get someone to throw there hat in the circle and organize it (Don't EVEN look at me guys, raising babies here!)

An invite would  be  open to ALL people, even the New Yorkers (as long as you promise not to vote for  Hilllary   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif))

yes, I would be interested, and no, I am not good at organizing anything.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

But I would be willing to help out in any way I can.

The Tillamook air museum is a great idea, Bongo!

It is a museum in a WWII blimp hanger, for those who do not know.  Lots of WWII planes, I go there whenever I get the chance. They may be able to make special arrangements for a group of us.  Tillamook is on the Oregon coast, good beaches and good state campgrounds nearby.

I have some info on the air museum and aircraft there, if anyone is interested.  I do not think the air museum has a web page, or did not last time I asked.

The Tillamook Air Museum would be an excellent idea.  There might be some things to check out at Evergreen too (thankyou CIA.. your money was well spent).  I've heard rumors that they have virtually every kind of American fighter flown in WWII.  I don't know what they have for display purposes though.

The nice thing about Evergeen is it is on the way too Tillamook.
