Fivetone.com Presents IOS #2 @ Lombard, IL--05/19&20/07

Bruce, they look good. Now in new "fun" size!

[Bruce Brakel]

On the warbirds, some of the fine detail filled in with solid hotstamp even though the details made it to the the plate.  That's just the nature of hotstamping.  Z does better with fine details than ESP.  I'm not certain what all discs have which Warbird view on them, but my notes say the side view discs should be the Surges, Buzzzes and Flashes, and the top view would be the Pulses, Meteors, XLs, and Bangers, but I can only confirm the Buzzzes and Pulses.

I've also got some stock Z-Reapers and stock Z-Talons for those of you who were asking, some X-Strati, Drones, Rattlers, 150 Z Storms, and maybe even some 150 Z Talons unless Kelsey hogs them all.  I have hats and t-shirts at below-market prices, Discraft towels and a few rapid dry t-shirts. 

Don't forget:  If you want the Throw Discraft bonus brass player pack, you gotta get it when you register or check-in.  I got enough free stuff to pay for 93 of these. 

What the Rockford stamp winds up on depends on what sells, but I'm guessing Tsunamis, Rogues, Hurricanes, and something they can sell me in white plastic for trophy discs.

What is a Warbird?

What is a Warbird?

It's the new disc that Bruce is marketing! 

[stpitner]

heh, looks a lot like a Romulan Bird of Prey mixed with some other ship from Star Trek (TNG and later series)

[Bruce Brakel]

Wikipedia has all the answers!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romulan_starships

The warbird designs I'm using are "fanon," as a serious Star Trek geek would say, and although they look familiar, I don't know what series or episode they appeared in.

OK thanks

Hah! If you had read the wiki entry you'd know that there is no such thing as a Romulan Bird of Prey!     [I think.  I didn't read it all that closely...] 

[mirth]

There are Romulan ships known as birds of prey, however most nerds associate bird of prey with Klingon. Personally, I think the stamp design is reminiscent of a Vor'cha class Klingon ship...

[stpitner]

lol, actually, you're right, that's exactly what it looks like.  The front end of a D'Deridex class warbird and the back end pretty close to a Klingon Vor'Cha class http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_starships  Well ,at least that means that I'll be enjoying these stamps lol

Yes, I am a nerd.

[Bruce Brakel]

This is what i was referring to:

"Trivia
No Romulan ship has ever been identified on live-action screen as a "Bird of Prey." Lieutenant Stiles stated in TOS episode Balance of Terror that the ship was "painted like a large bird-of-prey." The terms "Romulan Bird of Prey" is therefore a fanon term, as the ships have not been canonically referred to as such by Paramount."  

It is at the end of the document after they refer to several ships as birds of prey.

Me too.  I wonder if the "original artwork" is a composite of two real originals.  That would be oddly appropriate somehow. 

[Bruce Brakel]

Well, the van is packed and we're moving out in the morning. 

See you at the course.

[CEValkyrie]

The course is flagged. Adv/Pro will be playing from the cement tees the first round. The 2nd round will be played from the blue tees. Some of them don't have blue tees so the blue flags are by the cement tee pads.

I hope it wasn't too much tribble.

Prereg for IOS2 is closed! Thanks to all who reserved a spot in advance.

Very lame K2.

[stpitner]

I was out playing some of the holes tonight.. course is in GREAT shape.  I tried to fix a couple of the flags where they were already bent over (just from people hitting them after they tee, not done on purpose).  hole 20 plays nice just like last year.  I like how that was all marked out.

NOTE: if you are coming NORTHBOUND on Meyers Rd, there is road construction at the intersection of Meyers & Madison St. and a sign that says no left turn.  I didn't get a ticket, but I had one really angry driver because I didn't see the sign until after I was sitting to make my left turn.  I would recommend that if you're coming from the south along Westmore-Meyers rd, turn left at Wilson Ave, go past the course (you'll see 8 and 9), turn right on Fairfield Ave, turn right onto Madison, turn right into parking lot.  You can also go north past madison and work your way back, but use mapquest or google maps for those directions.

[airspuds]

thanks scott i saw that also
funny thing was that i could have made the left no problem
but i saw the sign and went up  to the next  block then turned left ( causing some backup)

so wilson it is then

weather looks great for today

have fun good luck
