I want to reply to more stuff, but I gotta bounce,, ao I'll do that later.

I just want to say that O'hare airport is better. Get midway only if it's significantly cheper. Midway is on the south side, away from most of the people who could pick you up. Unless Shawn or Josh wanna pick peeps up.

Mosher to Henry: I am gonna train so hard so I can shred your face in. 5 - 10 moshers of the choice series
Henry's getting challenged all around. Hood and Boxing is the other. I like that, Tom. I'm motivated too! Shred so mofos faces in. Square away this planning stuff to be able to play.:)

I updated some stuff on the first page. Added some links to pics from previous years, and to Sam's dope video.
Also put up the events. No shred 30 or routines. Our general feeling is to have stuff just for fun, with some competitive edge for those who like it.
4 square
Circle Comp
Sick 1/3
Rippin Run

We want to have the events free and therefore more fun. Gotta coax Scott D. into that, but we did last year.
We're gonna try and get some prizes like last year. We'll be contacting some of you stitchers. Or you can contact us :).

We called and invited some people and made a list of people to be invited. Good meeting.

the question: the ideal 4 square bag?

I like the juice 32 so far: good size, seems a little too light to me, noisy enough to tell when it touches someone before going out(as opposed to sand bags), quiet enough for stealth shots.

thoughts?

mark telman ("mtelman") might be coming and donating a bag.
Plain, with everything.

Ok for anyone who is coming in early or staying late and you need a ride from the airport or a place to crash i got an apartment all to my self in the south suburbs.

Anybody who wants to plan a night out bar hoping let me know cause we can pick a night i will talk to some peeps and get some vip party packages (no cover charge and free drinks for an hour)

and of course if everyone just wants to shred and trash the hotel room, then thats always fun too.

but if any of you do want to hit the chicago night life scene let me know asap so i can get some stuff together get some hookups and lets part.

So yes iam volunteerring to pick people up from midway

And you crazy montreal peeps stay away from the escalators this time lol

Tom's linking to all the old NYJ galleries motivated me to finally make one for NYJ/US Open 2002.

Check it out here, there are some pretty funny pics, and some good action shots. Ah, good memories, enjoy :)

Don't worry about it. Chicago is known for it's clean beaches and water, kind spirited citizens, and friendly footbag players.

Yes, you are in trouble.

Thanks Mosh! Again. Like last year. We appreciate it like moes.

Al, I dunno about a 4 square bag. I never really thought about it. I'm fine with whatev, so long as it's not my delicate 12 panel mirken.

Shawn, you came up on this thread and took some action - sweet. You're definitely in on this with us. Thanks for the help.

As for the DJ, that's awesome. Were you referring to the event or the after party? We almost had a DJ for the event last year. maybe we should try for this year. It'd be hella sweet. we did bring crazy speakers and amps and music to the last years party, with pretty much no problems save one complaint. Course we were at the end of the hall.

Swimming pool? It's so tiny. But we can take advantage. I wanna use the steam room they have one right?

Nice pics reile, I'm gonna post it up on page 1. Ghetto games like whoa! I'm gonna post more when I get to my sister's computer.

I may be down for some polar bear action. but then again that shit feelss cold as hell in the summer.
