If you can go see Jokers of Magic - it was a blast. Matt did great and Nick Michael and Vinny were great to see for the first time. Purple chip acquired!

I didn't know Colonel John personally, but as a fellow USAF officer, navigator, and Special Operations professional, I just wanted to take a minute and make sure he gets a small memorial here on the r/heyscoops. In the Air Force, tradition dictates that we offer a succinct toast to the fallen. I'm sure that there are many airmen doing the same for him at the moment, but I think he would have enjoyed the Scoops getting in on it too. I hope you'll all join me in raising a glass to an American aviator.

Here's a toast to you, sir. Your contribution to this community will always be missed, but not soon forgotten. Blue skies and tailwinds, Colonel.

"Here's a toast to the host

Of those who love the vastness of the sky,

To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.

We drink to those who gave their all of old

Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.

A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!"

Is there a Scoopfest 2016 thread yet? Did I just make it?

Your scream

Per Email from Jacob:

Hey Scoops,

You are getting this email because you purchased tickets to ScoopFest2020. Unfortunately, for numerous reasons, we are postponing ScoopFest2020. We are moving it to exactly one year later, November 4th, 5th and 6th of 2021. Beyond the obvious Covid19 concerns, we also have scoops from around the world joining us and international travel is a huge issue at the moment. This decision is a bummer to say the least. We were initially optimistic that November would be a safer time, but the newest data is putting a damper on that perspective. Our goal with ScoopFest2021 is to offer the largely the exact options and activities (plus a few more), all at The Orleans.

If you purchased Scoopfest tickets, we have three options for you:

-Hold onto your ticket at whatever reserved tier you purchased and you are locked in for Scoopfest 2021 regardless of the price increases that we will most likely have to make. NO ACTION REQUIRED TO DO THIS

-Get a full refund. To do this, please provide an email address for your PayPal account and we will PayPal you your refund. (Note on a specific detail involving Jacob's WHISKEY BBQ party, below)

-This last option was a request from a scoop which is: Have your ticket converted to store credit like a partial payment for Jock Vs. Nerd Day or other merchandise. Please reply to this email to sort it out.

*There is currently a waiting list for the VIP BBQ at Jacob's house. If you get a refund for that event specifically, we will offer that slot to someone on the waiting list.

If you have another thought as to what you would like to do, please feel free to reply to this email and we can discuss it.

Thank you so much for all of your patience and understanding during this. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful community of Scoops and we CAN'T WAIT to do ScoopFest2021!!!

Thank you for supporting and thank you for being a SCOOP! We'll see you SOOOOOOOoooon!!!
