Hey, does anyone know if there's a cheap bus or some kinda transit that goes form Philly to Reading after 6pm? I found really cheap bus tickets from Boston to Philly but greyhound doesnt seem to go between Philly and Reading. I really wanna go to this jam and thats the only thing holding me back right now.

Josh: consider yourself added.

Doug: I couldn't find anything, but Drew Krause has the same problem. I'm going to try to work something out where maybe you could go from Philly to Phoenixville and get a ride with someone coming from there. I'll get back to you.

Hey! Bus Masters!

If you guys could get a bus to Phoenixville friday (April 15) sometime in the afternoon, I would be more than happy to drive down and pick y'all up.

Drew and Doug could meet up at the same time to catch the train in Philly to Norristown and take a bus to Phoenixville, and if Mike catches a bus from West Chester to Phoenixville a little bit after Drew and Doug leave Philly, you guys would all be able to meet up around the same time and I could swing by and pick you guys up then bring everyone back to my apartment. Same deal on the way home. I wouldn't mind helping you guys out with that.

Let me know.

Drew here, reporting in!

I am going to try to commandeer my roommates car for this event. If that happens, I will be able to drive myself, +3 comfortably, 4 others max. I currently live in Philly, so we can go from here if you guys are taking the bus into town.

Will find out tonight

Edit: HAHAHA Mike, that is going through biebertours

Drew's idea is bitchin'! Go with Drew's bitchin' idea :D Bitchin' idea, Drew! Let me know is you can borrow el caro from your room mate whenever you find out... then I can update the attendees list, which I do enjoy quite a bit :wink:

In other PA jammin' news, Zach's going to talk to the business man about shirts to see if he's still wanting to buy us our shirts, but if not, he'll be talking to his cousin about it because he makes shirts or knows someone who does. We also plan on talking to a Hibachi place for a discount dinner on Saturday night.

And like I said earlier, we will be setting up a slackline for whoever wants to try it or who already does it. My room mate, Brenden, (non-footbag player) will be in charge of this part. We've both recently really become involved in slacklining. It's got a lot of parallels to footbag, and I think this is partially why I like it so much.

So yeah, if that looks cool to you and you think you'd like to try it, we will have 2-3 of them set up next to our shred area.

That is all for right now.

Edit: Entire Erie PA Crew just been confirmed!

Dave, I added you to the list. Welcome to the PA Jam! Getting wayyy stoked for this.

I have a lot of floor space for this event, around 20-25 people, I'd say? I'll be cramming most of the (very local) 422 PA Crew in my room to fit more people in the living room and dining room and if it's a nice night, I don't mind sleeping on the balcony with a couple members of the 422 Crew, so we can fit even more. If you're traveling a good distance, then I will make sure you get floor space so you don't have to pay extra for hotel. First come first serve with the floor space though. I've told some that I have reserved floor space for them, so reserve it now.

Any Chicago kickers, or any of the ohio crew would like a ride Ill be swinging over from wisconsin! And nick I just checked my 866 mile road trip of about 15 hours for the whole trip so it would be nice if I had some floor space so as to not pay for a hotel! Like I said, anyone that is maybe wanting to go to this jam from the midwest area I can fit 3 comfortably in my BUICK CENTURY! (BITCHIN RHYMES MC STYLE) and 4 if you want to be that close to people in the back.

Fliggity-fliggity-fliggity-fliggity-floor spaced

Edit: Also, Joey, I let Nick P (the other Nick P :P) know that you might be able to pick him up in Ohio. He should get back to me somewhat soon and if he doesn't post in here, I'll let you know what he says.

I... don't understand what you just said... Which is extremely awkward because it's usually the other way around and people have no idea what I'm normally talking about.... I'll just assume that's a go!

Aw hell yeah! Glad you'll be coming! This thing has the potential of being a really fun jam! :D I'll mark you as a definite. Please get back to me as soon as you hear back from Vince and Ryan.

Edit: I just edited some information in the first post to clarify some things. Nothing changed that would be a surprise.
