WHAT'S GOING ON!?

Prince Adam finally found his destination. Have you found yours? ShrEdmonton 2007. Keep it up.

DIRECTIONS/ADDRESSES

Directions to Kevin's Place and YMCA:

So, if you're coming from the South...you'll be travelling via Highway 2. Once you approach Edmonton, Highway 2 will "remain as Highway 2", but will change names (Gateway Blvd, Calgary Trail). Don't worry about it, just stay on it until you hit Whitemud.

Travel West on Whitemud. If you're going to the YMCA, take a left at 178 street, go south a few blocks, and you'll see it on your right hand side.

If you're going to my house, take the 159 street exit. Travel North on 159th, then take a left at 87 ave (towards the Hospital). Your best bet is to park in the ESSO on 165st and 87ave, and the give me a call at (780)-868-2555. It's way too difficult to give you specific directions to my house.

I was a little hesitant, but damn ARNIE SHANKMAN is going to be there! And I can't wait to see Hugh Jackman again.

If I had to choose out of Worlds, US Open, and Shredmonton, I would choose this in a heartbeat. I'll try my best to make it there.

You don't need a passport to go to Canada. Just use your birth certificate. I don't think you even need that if you drive. I would try to make it but I'll be in California shredding it up with Lonsmithicus. Maybe next time.

Oh man! I can't believe thi't work again. The closest tournament to me and every year it just doesn't work out. I'm giving a talk on the Sunday of this event. Oh well, maybe NEXT year. Hope you guys have a blast!!

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 27 May 2007 21:57

hmm i had sworn that the law changed and you had to have a passport to get into canada now, if not, then i just might be able to make it!

You don't need a passport to drive back and forth over the border. You only need a passport to FLY INTO the states as of right now. I read up on it last night. You only need a birth certificate and an ID/license to drive across. So, what time are you picking me up Zeb?

Yahoo answers FTW!

I talked to my fiance (will be wife by the time of event) and we might come for Friday and Saturday. I can't do sunday. Would it be worth it for the two days? how much footbag will be going down on friday?

Did I mention that ShrEdmonton is this year's number one honeymoon destination?

Most of the shred will be going down Friday (7pm-9ish) and Saturday (11am to 6ish). If you want to come in early on friday I'm sure some of us will be down for an early kick.

I think that me, Zeb, and Zac can make it. I just got my moms old car today (awesome!) and now we can drive.
