We had booked with AirBnB 2 months ago and just the other day, our guy canceled our reservation... so we're looking for a new one. If anyone sees anything good that comes out to about $100ish per person (we have 6 people in our party), please let us know. We are kind of desperate, because nothing is working out right now.

I haven't posted on modified in forever (nor has my game improved), but I plan on making Worlds this year. I'm not sure if I'll have a lot of bags for sale once I'm there, but I'll be bringing my stitching gear, fabric and filler up as well. Kinda nervous about seeing some familiar faces from the Footbag scene, but it's going to be a week full of fun times. :)

I don't know why the private messages I try to send won't leave my Outbox (Allan?), but Johnny, if you are reading this, we have a bed for you.

@Air PM's will eventually leave your outbox, but they can take upwards of an hour to do so. PM's take a relatively high amount of system resources to send, so it happens on a schedule instead of immediately. If you require immediacy, use email :)

I think that most eat coast homies are arriving on Saturday night, so Hell yeah! I love tam tam! We are still trying to finalize plans though. We might need crash space for Saturday night. Any offers for one night?

I get in Saturday afternoon. I'm definitely up for tam tams Sunday, or going out Saturday to party. What time does Tam tam start, and what's the best way to get there from the UQAM?

Nick P, Toolan, Ivan, Matt K, and I are all getting in Sunday afternoon... so tam tam would be cool if we can get situated by then. we just got boned out of an apartment we thought we had booked, so we're looking for alternate options now

Thanks Mathieu. While we're on the directions kick, do you know if there's a way from the airport to the UQAM that uses public transport?

EDIT: I found this: http://www.admtl.com/Passengers/AccessA ... Buses.aspx

Looks like there are regular buses from downtown to the airport. Looks like it costs $9 each way, and takes 45-60 minutes.

you can also use the 204 bus for 3$ but also need to take the metro and takes longer I think, up to you!

This event was absolutely incredible. It was my first worlds so I have nothing to compare it to but it was easily the best week of my life.


ENORMOUS thanks to all the organisers for the hard work. It is really appreciated!


Also thanks to everyone that came out and made the event what it was. You guys rock.
