Footbaggers in Austin, TX

I am trying to revive the Austin Footbag scene. From what I understand it kind of died out a while ago, possibly even before I moved here. I am finding people and we have set up a regular kicking time of noon to 4pm on Saturdays at Auditorium Shores Park (EDITED, was previously Zilker Park).

We are still looking for players! Come join us, we are basically circle kickers and a few of us can hit the occasional freestyle trick.

We have set up a MySpace page. I thought this would be lame at first but then I heard that MySpace is the 5th most visited website right now. So here goes:
http://groups.myspace.com/atxfootbag

Also, we have updated our club info on Footbag.org:
http://www.footbag.org/clubs/show/austin

I am probably going to make another post on craigs list this week to see if we can find some more players.

EDIT: We have a semi legit webpage now

http://WWW.ATXFOOTBAG.ORG

If you are an experienced shredder and are visiting Austin any time we would love to have you come down and kick with us. It would be awesome to see some really sick moves hit in person.

It's great to see the Texas footbag scene growing in more places than Houston. I'll do whatever I can to help you guys out. I think the first thing we need to do is meet and shred. I hope more Texas players are reading this.

Cameron Kennedy [Tsiangkun] is coming to Houston on a business trip at the end of March. So we're planning to kick with him on Saturday, April 1st. I'm inviting all footbag players who are interested in kicking with us into Houston for that weekend to hang out and shred. [map to Hermann Park] If you need a place to crash, please let me know, because I have some space. If you know any players that would be interested, please let them know about it, because I haven't been to a Texas jam in over a year, and I don't know who the active players are anymore.. [outside of Houston]

I want to help organize more Texas footbag events this year. It's been too long since Texas has had a great footbag event, whether it's a jam or tournament. The last one in Texas I went to was the Space City Jam in May 2004..
