Do you think we'll meet each other this year? I'm always there for the Saturday show. The Balloon Races are the only reason I'll ever get up at 4 in the morning.
@666Brago Sorry I didn't receive your comment. I'll be crewing for one of the Wells Fargo Balloons (the standard shape, not the stagecoach) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this year for the GRBR and I have an RC hot air balloon I plan on bringing to Reno as well after the full size balloons fly. You can find me at either the Wells Fargo Standard Shape Balloons or when you see the RC balloon. Are you planning on crewing for the Falling Star Balloon this year?
@666Brago How many years have you been to the GRBR? I go there every year also. I've been going since 1995 and I'm even going this year for my16th year. I love the Reno Balloon Race.
@bluesrockfanatic Well I'm 26 years old. It started in 1981. I've been going to it since 1989 even though I can see the balloons from my kitchen window. I even know one of the pilots personally. Her name is Karen Brown and she flies Falling Star. My younger brother's good friends with her son.
@666Brago That's cool. I remember it started in 1981 even though I wasn't around until 11 years later. I will be 19 when I go this year. I have quite a few friends who fly out there as well that I work ground crew for. I'am familiar with the falling star balloon and have seen that balloon many times but I haven't met Karen.
Where do you come from?

@bluesrockfanatic I'm just a spectator. I can see the balloons from my kitchen window but the experience is not the same.

Actually for the last five or six years, the number has been exactly 100. I know because I go to it every year,
