I dont think I can make it any more ladies and gentlemen. Mardi Gras and fixing my car have broken my bank! Hope everyone has a great time and shreds their heads off!

So yeah, sorry to be a worry wart but I could use some confirmation on where most footbaggers will be staying at other than the Gatesman residence. I don't mind a bed or carpeted floor space as long as the lodging is reasonably affordable (or free). I'll be bring a sleeping bag. :)

See you guys there. I might be bringing some bags for sale.

Basketball, poker, and footbag, all in one weekend? Does anybody play Team Fortress 2? Cause that's the only way I see this being better. Super stoked.

I leave in about 10 days. Can I get final assurance that I don't need to rent a hotel or car? Should I bring routine music, and if so, what format should it be in?

Stoked to see you all soon!

i don't think we will be doing routines this year. circle, request, and two square will be the main events. you don't need to rent a car unless you're going to be on your own a bit. if you'd like to do an exhibition routine, the speakers will be for an ipod, so any kind of ipod should work. i'd like to see some exhibition routine, but i don't want people to feel pressured too much to compete. i'd like more of a relaxed format for now with a couple events, and maybe over the years we can add in routines and whatnot.

Is their any development on where people are staying? I need a place to stay on thursday, sunday and monday nights. I'm also not sure what the best way to get from the airport would be. Should I use public transportation?

i will either personally pick up or send someone to pick up everyone that posts their itinerary on this thread. just to avoid any mistakes, since my schedule is probably going to be ridiculous, i highly suggest texting me before your flight leave so that i can organize pickups better.

also, most rooming plans have fallen through. of course there is room at my place, but its going to be a tight squeeze if we all try to fit there. since jeff and jon fell through, i'm left to do everything again by myself lol so i might have to end up putting people in a room on the strip somewhere. any volunteers who want to get closer to the vegas experience and have additional expendable funds?

If it's just going to be me, it's not worth it for me to get a hotel room, both socially and financially. PM me if you are interested in getting a room.

Can we get an updated attendance list? Are Goldberg and Penske confirmed? Curious to see who's coming for sure.
