I put links to all the videos put out this year on the first post of this thread, for eventual easy access. I'll add more as more come out. I know Dat will have some later.

I hope everyone is getting over their sickness.

pro's:

it was well organized
huge, grippy, shock absorbing shred space
great turnout, lots of talent.

con's:

I could only make it on day 3
There is very little footage of anyone but David or Jorden... I want to see what I missed days 1 and 2

Pro:
CIC was awesome
New faces and people
Hung out with some old friends too
Sauna was off the hook
Inventing pool games with Tom, Jordan, and Justin
Shredding with DC a lot
Late night party and shred
All the exposure
Great venue
Footbag stitchers' selection
Awesome Prizes

Con:
Competitions were a little unorganized/unofficial at times
I still owe people money for going there
No intermediate comps even though there were enough intermediate players
Got over-shredded and had a hard time playing as much when I got back

Over all, the biggest Jam I've been to, and one of the best so far in my footbag career.

CiC needs to get on an unofficial newyears jam so we can have the jam even when it is not newyears.

Aww thanks Holly! One thing I would like for next New Years Jam is to see more of Chicago. I know we are there to play footbag, but I think if it would be possible, I would like to understand public transit there more and possibly set up sight seeing groups. I know I can't be the only person interested in that. I suppose in a way it was my fault and I should have figured out the transit myself. I ended up not being able to go anywhere because of my injury but for next year I think I'd like the freedom of going around in Chicago for a somewhat inexpensive price would be very nice.

Also, I wish I could've met everyone - I was a little down while there so I didn't introduce myself to everyone that I would have if I hadn't injured myself.

I think the pros would be how helpful ALL of the locals were! I bummed rides, crashed some spaces, etc. Thank you to all of the locals. And thank you to my roommates for helping me out with my injury.

Another pro would be how professional we looked! We respected the event site and staff (to my knowledge) - and the event site itself was great (although the emergency staff consisted of a bunch of jerks).

I had a great time - definitely want to do it again this year.
