How many bags should I stitch for this event? A clear cut number of people interested would help me out a great deal. I stitch a lot of funky designs, so I'm always open for suggestion.

The Major has sort of disappeared... The store has closed, and he hasn't returned any calls to Kovacs... I haven't tried to reach him recently. I'm assuming he may have set off on some extended series of travels, as he sometimes talked about doing. I guess I'll try calling him soon to at least try to let him know about this year's Spike N' Shred. Thanks for reminding me.

1)two day schtick
2)I get can you close within a couple miles
3)the bureaucracy of the highschool has thrown me a curve ball, and it kills me. I talked to the principal, I got a club to sponsor me, but the guy who manages club activities tells me today that there's no room. :evil:

Option 1) find a new venue
Option 2) pick a new date

I'm pretty confident that I can find a new venue.

forget indoor venues, its in may, we dont need a school, we need a parking lot, or a park with a paved area.

in short we need a flat place outside to play.
most parks have pavillions too for a rainy day, and they are almost always concrete floored


oh, and i dont see why i'd miss it

Freestyle venue is no problem at this point, working to improve the net situation. currently, a have a small field on a hill that we can use all day, and some other fields that will open up in the afternoon.

can we have the whole place for the afternoon, and the next morning? If not it would sure be nice to have freestyle in the morning and net in the afternoon. It's about time the freestylers switch and show up at 8:00 am instead of net players. Everything else is upside down. THE METS ARE IN FIRST AND THE YANKEE'S IN LAST WOW. ATLEAST THE FIRST DAY ANYWAY. see ya ted f

Is this event going to be happening this year?

I'm trying to decide whether I am going or not but it doesn't look like much has been decided?

Checked the forecast... the weather looks utterly perfect for a couple of nice days of kicking in the park... and it is a nice park.

Chris,

It is still my intention to assist you by helping to run the freestyle competitions. However, if my duties allow, I also intend to enter the competitions, as poorly prepared as I am. Hmm... I don't have any new combos for Big 3, damn it. Well, maybe one or two.

I'll repeat myself: Its all happening in a nice location, and it looks as if its all going on under some very nice weather, so everybody should come out and play and have a nice time.
