crazylegs32 wrote:Ill play on the 27th, isnt it up to players to decide if they want to shred instead of being told not to. Someone has to take breaks during the event to teach kids and FILM (unlike last year) anyways. And 4 days of shred isnt too hard, if you ever been to worlds its 7+ days of shred.
get off the pedestal, i was simply giving advice on the logical basis that the simple fact that you want to shred does not mean you will be able to find a place to do so.

If you want to shred the 27th, then get a group of people together and go looking for an indoor spot. Jon since your so upidity about it you take charge of this idea and find them a spot, cause i get the feeling that zeke and tom got other shit to worry about and take care of and are busy enough planning out the actual event dates at the actual event site to worry about where the early birds can shred.

Wow...so...um, in a wicked turn of events, I'm not going to be able to come. I know it's pretty late to flake out, but something HUGE happened recently, so it's looking like I'm gonna have to stay in town. This fucking blows, because I haven't been to a jam since KICKASS. I really wish I could come, guys. Have a good time for me I guess.

whats so huge?

brian and i got packed last night. we got the wii packed for carry on luggage and a sleeping bag for zekes and footbags put in zippy bags. we are going to dicks sporting goods today and to the coin star and then we are ready to go. my dads taking us to the airport tomorrow morning. im excited about flying... and nervous.

this event is going to be fucking awesome. thanks to all who planned this out. without you guys there would be nothing to look forward to. the holidays are finally over and we get to focus on footbag. im excited about hitting my first double dex.

i think i only have one footbag for sale. its a bummer but people can feel them at the event and im sure it wont be a hassle to take orders. brian has a lot made cause he hasnt had many orders this last month so yall should jump on that.

my one footbag is 20. and naturally its first come first serve. ive got a few im giving as gifts or trades.

i just hope i dont embarrass myself. :oops:

I crashed my car and need to work the weekend so I can try and scrounge up money for a new car/to rebuild the old one, so that I don't have to drop out of school/quit my job.

As much as footbag is important to me, not dropping out of school holds just a liiiiittle bit more importance.

well dan has a broken car and i officially have a broken foot :(

now that i can officially count myself out of all shred conversation and activities i can now look forward to hanging out partying playing cards taking pictures, and spend time in the interactive zone teaching and coaching the aspiring peeps

I think i may even be wearing a cast for everyone to sign

tomorrow i have to call the podiatrist to make an apointment, so depending on when i get that apointment i may miss a part of a day or something along those lines.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I went to an event like that 3 years ago in Philly. Couldn't play at all because of my knee, but I still went to enjoy the company. We'll be taking off tomorrow morning. Cya tomorrow.

Okay, my daddy helped me crunch some numbers and figure out all the shit required to get to chicago.

It will cost like five hundy to get there but we are coming dammit.

Jorden is 10000% confirmed and I still need full confirmation from Johnny, though so far he's been positive.

Ontario's top three shredders are coming to bust some moooves!

I have four bags for sale so far, I should have at least one more, sweet eh?

AHHH IT'S SO SOON! :D

Hey Shawn, I can't shred much either...3 torn ligaments in my ankle and they haven't healed completely yet. I can't really jump or bend my ankle much and when I force myself to, I have to stop after about 5 minutes. I'm planning on bringing my camera down so I can make a video though...I'm looking forward to that.

Anyways, see you guys soon!

Everyone who has a room at the hotel should coordinate so we can get a block of rooms or at least on the same floor. I have a room so pm me if you are paying for cic room or if you wanna be part of the footbag block.

NYJ on WGN-TV News

Post by enlightener »

Hi Everyone!

I have just secured a spot to promote our footbag event on Chicago's WGN-TV Morning News on Friday, Dec. 29th at 8:20am Central time. We need about a dozen people (the more the better) to appear on the spot, the younger the better. Please contact me directly to be a part of this opportunity.

If you would be interested in being a part of this, please let me know via email or through the sign-up sheet at the event on Thursday. We are meeting at 7:30am at the McDonalds in McCormick Place (downstairs from our footbag event site) on Friday morning.

This is a great opportunity to present our sport to the city, I look forward to your support. If you can't make it then watch it on Channel 9, if you can't watch it, then tape it. If you can't tape it, then you are SOL. I'll get it digitized and online ASAP anyway, but there is nothing like watching it live!

See ya soon!

Great job!

If I shaved I can look like a 17 year old, easy. But I have a big scraggly beard right now, does that make me unappealing?

I hope I can help! :D
