East Coast Jampionships in State College, PA 6/28-29?

Post by flash »

I was wondering how much interest would there be if this were happening?

I don't plan on doing much, but would love it if people wanted to come bye here for a loose weekend of footbag. I will be giving myself a bye to the finals if applicable.

Crash space is very limited, if your initials aren't GF Smoothie, Outsider, PI, CF, VB, BobR, or Jack Lentz maybe plan on splitting a hotel. I can recommend/or block out a bunch somewhere if need be.

This post doesn't replace a ECFC for '08, does it?

In all likelihood I can provide some crash space for people who can be quiet and don't want to party.

so it's not a conflict with any east coast that i can host.

but i am having difficulty making the time to secure a venue.

i have some stuff in the works but figured at this point i need to look beyond june for a good date.

Sounds like a great idea, Scott. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it because I will be in California, but I hope all goes well!

Potential attendees,

It looks like there's a fair bit of interest, so maybe I should find a host hotel.
I have two in mind:

Ramada Inn- + ~3 blocks from my house, super close to a prime park,
- $ reg. ~$99, not really walking distance to downtown,
Days Inn + right downtown (quick access to eateries, bars, etc.)
less expensive than Ramada reg. ~$76
- not very close to a good venue

If you feel strongly about the options, now is your chance to comment.
I'll look into getting a group discount at both in the next day or two, and see if that clears up the picture any.

Hey all,

Ramada quoted a group rate of 97$, Days Inn 89$. Not much of a discount in either case. You could probably do better with AAA or AARP or something.

I won't block either out unless there is demand to do so.

Here are the phone numbers
Ramada (814) 238-3001 or www.ramadasc.com

Days Inn (814) 238-8454

If you don't like either of those, there are plenty of other hotels in town. Some are pretty cheap, but not very nice. If that's your ballgame, speak up.

Looks like i can make it out, but I'd like a little more detail about where we'll be playing and any sort of semi schedule or anything like that. Addresses and such.

Too bad I haven't improved since GRASS, oh well, it'll still be fun.

I'd like to see a list of people actually going. I will be done with exams and as of now i dont have a job and probably wont by that time (although I may). I'd like to make the trip down. but we'll see.

edit- maybe not, seeing as it's 242 miles away from here...
