I wouldn't worry about crash space, just expect it

i know my brother and kyle are getting a hotel room, i would talk to them about it. You cant really expect crash space at the us open, mostly because the free crash space is usually pretty limited and dibsed on way before hand. Talk to Zac or Kyle maybe they can help you out.

Zeb, please bring my twelve tapes I sent to you eight months ago to the US Open. Or, purchase me new ones. Your choice.

The crash space for the people on modified is probably taken, but i'm sure there will be someone there with space, you just need balls enough to ask. After the Green Cup I just asked a dude in the circle I was in, he ended up being from my Dads hometown back in Maine...

I'm arriving Friday at 10:10am. Is there a way I can get a pick up or directions to wherever people are going to be?

SlashC · Post by **SlashC** » 07 Jul 2008 22:00

What is the address of pioneer square?

EDIT: Also, how much money is it going to be for registration?

I think I'm going to goto the bank today to get some canadian beaver teeth converted into american dollars.

Heya all,
Here is more info;

Travel:
There are a lot of people flying in at different times, I am instructing everyone to hop on the MAX (our train system) from the airport to downtown Portland, it basically drops you off right at Pioneer Square. The train you want is the Red Line, it costs 2.05$ to get you down there. If you need to get to the hotel or my house, you can take the 9 from downtown which picks up on SW 3rd and Alder (three blocks east of Pioneer Square). It will take you across the river and up Powell, the hotel is on Powell, and my house is a block off Powell, four blocks from each other. From downtown to these destinations it is about 3 miles.

Entry Fees:
The entry fees for open are basically half of Worlds for open players;
Open/women: 50.00$
Intermediate: 35.00$
And this of course goes into covering the costs of the event, which mainly include renting spaces and equipment, as well as getting t-shirts, medals/trophies, and food for the players.

Also on that note, we are ordering quite a few pizzas and other food for the registration party, which should arrive around 6pm or so at Kenny and Kendall's house. Pioneer Square is the meet up point for Friday, we will start kicking around 2pm and go until about 6pm, then head over to the registration party. We will be shuttling people, and also have maps for everyone. Should be fun! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey,

I have been stitching quite a bit in anticipation for the Open. Here are some things I have thus far.

The bags are facile and amaretta, and there are an additional 2 that are not pictured. The juggling bags are all facile.

Bags are $35, juggling/stage footbag balls $45 for a set of 3.

See you in a few days.
