Shirts are in and ready for pickup!  I will be hanging out at the desks right in the southwest entrance of the union tomorrow (Wednesday) from 10-3 to distribute shirts.  (the southwest entrance is the left entrance when looking at the union from the quad).  If you have not paid your $10 for your shirt, you must pay when you pick it up.  Also, if you dropped the ball and forgot to order a shirt before break, a few extra shirts were ordered if you still want to get one, just email me if interested.  (You do not need a shirt to participate in the bar crawl, but it will make you look cooler)  As an added bonus, anyone that is interested in getting a head start on the barcrawl is welcome to come to our apartment starting at 8pm to begin the festivities and we will all head to the first bar together at 9pm.  This would also be a good time to pick up your shirt if you didn’t get a chance earlier as I don’t want to be stuck carrying everyone’s shirt to the bar for them.  See you all tomorrow.Justin Tobin

Yes, we are still jumping! If you want to be the first skydiver in December then I’ll race you! If you just want to go skydiving this weekend send me your name, your number, what day you want to go, what kind of jump you want, and if you can drive. I’ll get you set up!

Hey all you barcrawlers,

    A quick reminder that the Falling Illini barcrawl is this Wednesday, the 28th, starting at 9PM.  If you have ordered a shirt Justin will be sending out an email on when and where you can pick it up shortly. The shirts are $10 if you have yet to pay. But you do not need a shirt to come to the barcrawl.  Feel free to come just hang out with us for a while, or stay for the entire night. All are welcome!

   Our contest for the skydiver who can get the most faculty and staff to go skydiving is under way. Mike Murphy has already had 2 professors go, and I am on my way to a few as well.  There are only a few weekends left before the end of the semester, so if you want that $150 you need to get on it.

 Blue skies!

Hey Everyone, here is some more information about the barcrawl to let you all know where you can find Justin during this week to either sign up if you still need to and pay for your shirt.  First of all, the bar line up will be as follows: 

9pm  Firehaus
10pm Brother’s
11pm Murphy’s
12am Legend’s
1am  White Horse 

Justin will be hanging around the Union in the south lobby (if the weather is nice, look for him in front of the union) this week to accept money for barcrawl shirts and will have a sign-up sheet for those of you that need to sign up.  He will be wearing his Falling Illini t-shirt next to a matching sign on Tuesday 11-2, Wednesday 10-12 and Friday 10-1. We will also have a Falling Illini Booth after noon on Thursday where Daniel will be hanging out. Remember that the barcrawl is Wednesday, November 28 and shirts are $10.  He can take cash or check and the last time to sign up is Friday at 1.  For those of you that can’t make it during one of those times, be sure to email him at jatobin@uiuc.edu to let him know so he can be sure to order a few extra shirts.  He will be sending an email out after break telling you all when you can pick up your shirts.

It has been a fun two weeks!  I know everyone who came out to the Halloween party had a great time.  Congratulations to Devin Mapes, Wilson Manuel, Fred Knecht, and Tyler Shane for coming out and making their first tandem jumps! Congratulations to Yanyan Ren-Qiu, Rachel Burke, Steve Luu,  and Joe Wolff for making their first static line jumps! More congratulations to Brad Topol, Abdul Hassaballah, and Yanyan Ren-Qiu for cutting the line and making their first freefall jumps! And a big final congratualtions to Mike Murphy for winning the race and getting his A-License! Great job everyone! You all have been going crazy, I cannot believe how much you’ve been jumping! Keep it up!

Remember, whoever gets the most U of I staff to jump before school ends, gets $150.

Hey skydivers! We are jumping out of the beautiful sky again this weekend. It’s getting colder but we’re still going!  If you want to head down with us this weekend send me your name, the day you want to go, the jump you want to do, your number, and if you can drive.  I’ll get you signed up!

I mentioned this at our last meeting but forgot to send an email about it.  November will be ”Staff Month” for skydiving.  Whichever jumper can get the most TAs, professors, deans, advisors, or other faculty to come jumping with us will receive $150.  Since I obviously sent this out late, and December is short, I will be extending it into the last few weeks of school in December.  But once finals are over so is the competition. Start talking to those teachers early and win that money!   

Hey Everyone,

   Since the weather is cooling down, we will be having a “too cold to jump barcrawl” to bring everyone together again which will take place on Wednesday, November 28, 2007.  Everyone is invited, skydivers and non-skydivers, for an incredible night of fun hosted by the bars on Green Street.  There will be shirts available for purchase to remember the event at the super cool price of $10.  Even if you can’t make it out to the barcrawl, you are more than welcome to still purchase the shirt.  Justin Tobin, our Social Chair, will be in charge of sign ups and collecting shirt orders.  Just email him at jatobin@uiuc.edu if you would like to attend and tell him what shirt size you need.  He will be on the quad a few days next week to collect money for the shirts which you can pay for by cash or check, or if you want to be really lazy, you can pay him via paypal.  Sign ups end next Friday (11/16) at noon, so don’t delay.
