Sorry you can't make it Ted. I just filed my taxes and got hit pretty hard as well. Good thing air is free.

Take care.

I will be attending.

Is there any crash space left?

I will be driving from Ogdensburg NY. I have plenty of room in my car if anyone wants to be picked up on the way.

Anyone interested in some disc golf?

Updates for Friday. We will be meeting at 6 pm in the Clark gym at RIT. I just found out that the Juggling Club will be there for a celebration for the leadership team and will have free pizza and drinks for everyone. We have been personally invited by Jeff Peden so give thanks to him when you see him.

GRASS is gonna be the shit. has it been 4 years since the first? damn, the time flies. i wish I wasn't still at the same level as then ;)

I will be showing up mid-day on saturday. I have a gig friday night in fredonia and saturday morning in geneseo, so I don't know if I'll even be able to play until sunday ;) but we'll see what's up. can't wait to rock out with everyone. where is the party at on saturday?

Matt

EDIT: also,

it seems that the current WORLD CHAMPION Will Digges (sick 3 discipline) needs a little extra help to make this tournament work for him, so I'll pledge a $20 sponsorship to help him with gas and food costs, and I encourage other baggers to help him out as well.
BRICK!

Sounds like a good idea. I'll pledge a $20 sponsorship too! I haven't been to a GRASS yet, but I imagine a GRASS without Will Diggs wouldn't be as good with one.

I am excited for this event, I just hope my cold/headaches go away by Friday. Lots of sleep tonight, as I KNOW Thursday night I wont get any.

That is a good idea. I feel bad that I'm too tight on cash right now to pitch in as well. Sorry Will.

Part of the reason that I'm tighter on cash than I would otherwise have been: Collin Melloy (lead singer of the Decemberists) is playing in Buffalo, this friday night. FANCY THAT! It's on the way to GRASS for all us northerners. I'm crazy excited for this concert, seeing as the Decemberists are my favorite band. Tickets are only $22.00 at the door. It's at The Tralf, and the doors open at 7pm. Anyone else who's into Indie/Folk Rock should come and see the show too. With the stop in Buffalo, Jamie and I will be arriving in Rochester at 12:55am, at the bus station...

anyone want to come pick us up? Please? I know it's late, but we party hard... Somebody with a car will still be up + sober?

Paul,

I have access to a PA system (two speakers, amp, mixer, mics, etc.) that I could bring to Clark gym tomorrow and Saturday. Do you think we need this or will the gym PA system work for us?

Let me know. Thanks.
