Hey all..

Wow.. what an INCREDIBLE weekend launch eh?!?
Asking around (and talking to our food servers), it sounds like we had around 
80 (or more) in attendance on Saturday, and around 50-60 trickling through on 
Saturday.

Specific Kudos:
Before I get into all the exciting photos and video of the launch, a big 
thanks needs to go out to:
* VAST (Valley Aerospace)/Chuck Neff for organizing, facilitating and doing 
much of the heavy lifting of the event.
* Bob Schoner, our local TRA ace in the hole with VT Aerospace, VT Agg, and 
local "know-it-all guy" on all things Rocketry related
* Rackspace / Rack-Gives-Back + Doug Juanarena (BBurg Site leader), for the 
free-food/drinks, Racker-Volunteers and "other heavy lifting" (literally), 
porta-potty/financing, etc

Pictures & Videos:
If you have photos or videos to share, please let me know and I'll give you an 
upload account to send us your hi-res content directly to the NRVR server for 
processing and posting! (you can't send attachments to the mail list, but you 
can link to web based flickr,picasa, etc).

But for now, one of our Rackers with a really nice DSLR camera uploaded all of 
his non-video, 10th and 11th content here:

I have a ton more to share, plus some great video content including some from 
Bob's awesome 9/11 Dedication launch on Sunday! (really sweet launch on an L 
2300 motor!!)

Look over the photos above, and if you spot one of your launches, please share 
and tell us about it! (I'll be adding notes to the gallery of photos that I'm 
preparing this week)

Stay tuned!
