Well, Chicago was great! I was only there for 2 days of it, but I had fun none the less.

I want to thank all of the chicago people for making it so easy to just come to a place and have everything ready for you, and have a stress-free weekend.

There were so many awesome footbaggers there! Not just Dave Evan and Ben, but many of the Chicago-ians that I had never met or seen in videos. Zac (miley) truly surprised me, he has gotten SO consistant and really has nice runs. His reverse whirls are really nice. Damn.

I now understand why everyone loves Henry.

My head is so scrambled, I learned so much about footbag and well, how I should act in social situations. I'm a dick. Dangly. :(

Footbag just keeps getting better and better. See everyone at worlds :)

Great event, as always. I'll write more after I get home.

I hate that I can never remember all the names and faces at tournies from meeting so many people so quick. I also hate that I feel intimidated and at the end I never kicked with half the people :cry:
I hope to see you all again 8)

thanks for this great event guys.

Big thanks to Steve Goldberg for the shred room, such a generous guy.

Also Eric, Tom, and Mike for giving us all rides. Really apreciated, and some of you did'nt sleep much, have a good sleep tonight guys.


On my side it was my second tournament in a row where I played like crap, and I think I learned from this.

We played net today in the snow. It was non-bitch cold, but we warmed up. It's 7 degrees now (with a wind chill of -10), but it was warmer then. Zeke has some good pics.

did ANYONE have a good flight home??

my flight was delayed 3 and a half hours, i was surrounded by kids on the plane, and i had to break into my own house at 4:30 in the morning and it sounds like my flight was one of the better ones.

Wow. NYJ was probably the greatest thing ever. Let me think... no, it was easily the greatest thing ever. I'll have a write up in my blog or here, sooner or later.
