I'm planning on making this and bringing some newbs. Crash space is preferable (duh).

If there is circle competition held (formal or informal) I'll gladly enter. I don't really think I'd enter many other formats. maybe shred 30.
BRICK!

Yeah, I'd be most inclined towards circle also.

If someone threatened to cut up my cat if I didn't do shred 30 then I would do it too.

I'll definately be there if the juggling club gives me a ride with the KFM. Now I get to get excited about another footbag tournament already! Yay!

OK, so competition wise, it looks like the most interest is for circle. So I'm gonna come right out and announce as official events:

*Circle Comp (open and intermediate, depending on how many people we get.

*4 square tournament

*Consecutive flapper kick competition.

We're working on various sponsorships at the moment.

Looks like there's a good chance of me making it out there.

I'd like an intermediate circle comp!

I visited the dorm last night, and there are at least 9 couches that people can sleep on, and a ton of floor space for people who bring sleeping bags. The head of the frat also said that people can sleep in the empty rooms upstairs, which Maaaaaaay have beds. Looking into it. But yeah, the frat seems to have decent sleeping space for a good 15 people or more.

I'm trying to get NYFA and a really good juggler who goes to my college up to this event.

Circle Comp!

Crash Space needed for moi. Couch/bed/floor/whichever.

I recommend that people interested in coming also monitor this site:

http://www.rso.cornell.edu/cjc/festival/index.htm

Also, some general lodging info is given at http://www.rso.cornell.edu/cjc/festival/dining.htm.
It looks like there is a deal worked out with the Clarion University Hotel and Conference Center for people attending the juggling fest. So, if you want hotel space, I highly recommend making a reservation here.

More lodging info can be found at http://housing.cornell.edu/docs/off_cam ... s_2005.pdf

The Hillside Inn (http://www.hillside-inn.net/) is also of particular interest due to its affordability and proximity to Ken's place!

We are still in the process of securing confirmed crash space for footbaggers, so check back for updates!

Well, I'd like to come. I just got a new job though, and I also don't know if I have any way of getting down there. I totally wanna compete at 4 square too. Dang. If I don't make it, have lots of fun for me.

Now all we need is a juggle/footbag tourney in texas ! That way we will all know that in every corner of the country there are shredders dodging stray pins and clubs while we kick. :D
Have fun east side... I say the tourney who puts out the most footage, wins :twisted:

should i bring my unicycle? i have been freestyle and trials unicycling since i was 11 but footbag has taken over, i suppose i could uni there too! that would be fun! i saw that video and didnt expect the unicyling to be in there...is that all on the same days as footbag? i would compete in both. :wink:

i guess im going because my mom was like "OMG, you HAVE to go!"


she was excited because she likes all my talents :D

yay, now im all pumped!
