Very happy to hear about Kyle, someone should bring a Wii (we kick it old school, nothing but Super Nintendo and sometimes N64 of late).

If people want Abshire bags I could pick some up before leaving SD this weekend, PM me.

I might have a few bags as well to sell, so if you want one I'll try to have at least two.

Hey everybody, if you are interested in seeing the bags that I'm going to have at the US Open I posted them on my page in For Sale. Ohhhh, they're pretty.

The 2007 US Open Footbag Championships is almost here! This is going to be another great event. Special thanks to all of our supporters thus far.

Of recent, we have finalized a project I feel will be very beneficial. We have been in negotiations with 20th Century Fox about combining our event with another; a national promotional push for the new Simpsons Movie, coming out at the end of July. Matt Groening is originally from Portland (half of the Simpsons characters are named after streets here) and they are down with the footbag culture. In the NW, promotion for the US Open and the film will be tied together; our finals day at Pioneer Square will be merged with a large Simpsons promotion there as well. Should be quite a spectacle. Special thanks to 20th Century Fox, Groening and clan.

Shout out to a few of our sponsors as well;
Freedom Footbags
Richie Abshire
World Footbag Association
Fancy Footworks
Flying Clipper
Widmer
Thorne Bay Lodge
Footbag Hall of Fame
The Sole Purpose Founders
Ribbonspecialties
Pinemeadow Golf
John Stalberger
Ted Huff
Steve Goldberg

This year we are looking to have the Open be a massive recruiting tool for the local community and fresh talent. All new players are welcome, look forward to seeing everyone there!

I'd love to buy one if I have the extra cash. I've heard nothing but great about your bags.
