I'm going to buy my train tickets this weekend, so if anyone can pick me up from the train station, that would be really swell.

8 days! Get psyched!

Ianek- you should totally come. I have no experience whatsoever with circle, so hopefully you and Mosher can help me out. Hell, I'd like to compete in it, so if somebody else wants to judge/MC, I'd be stoked.

Everybody: Couch space is all taken up already. Ithaca is cold. We still have floor crash space, but that means you should really bring a sleeping bag and a blanket. I can't stress this enough.

EDIT: the frat house is heated, so don't get too scared or anything. I just always prefer to have the option to remove a blanket, rather than be in the position where I want a blanket and dont have one. Na mean?

Man, this sounds like it's going to be one awesome event. Kind of because my northeast roots, I really wish I could go to this one.

One small request. Could you guys please stop saying "frat"? It's considered a derogatory term for college fraternities. I'm sure people may have their opinions on fraternities negative or positive, but until you meet the other members in Luis' chapter please keep an open mind. I didn't want to go too far off topic, just wanted to express my concern and request that you refer to it as a fraternity and not a "frat". Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on that Ben; I actually wasn't aware of that fact. We certainly don't mean any disrespect to the people who are letting us use their space.

Very cool everybody.

Also just wanted to mention there will be a small fee for competition, and possibly a very small fee for people to use the room, just to help us cover costs.

I'm crazy stoked for this.

I have my prize bag ready for the comp. I don't think I'll have so many bags to sell at this tourney, but I'll be taking private orders if anyone is interested.

My ankle is feeling a lot better, but I doubt I can hit flip-anything any time soon. Maybe by this weekend my ankle crank will recover, if all goes well.

Shred in the heated, beautiful gym starts at 8 pm on Friday night. So if you show up earlier, you can dump your stuff at the Fraternity hourse, but there's no rush on Friday night.

Saturday, competition starts after noon. The juggling show starts at 7 pm-9pm.

Sunday we will close it all down around 4 pm ish.

Friday, Sunday, and 80% of Saturday are just for shredding and hanging out. Saturday is the only comp day, and hopefully won't take too much time.

Circle comp will be intermediate and Open if enough people enter. The number of entrants will also affect the number of rounds. 4 square tourney is open to all skill levels. Number of rounds will also be determined by number of entries.
