Beantown Throwdown '09 beeeches! April 24-26th

[Outsider]

Results?

The main result was that the Beantown Throwdown was a killer jam and comp., and that Boston is so totally on the map as a great place to find a lot of good freestyle footbag. I'm already looking forward to more trips to Boston.

And for a more literal response to your question... you'll have to wait a bit. Its been a long evening on the road, and I'm tired and have to get up early for work tomorrow.

thanks jon im delighted you had such a good time.

as jon said the tournament was an amazing experience and even more of a success than i could have imagined. The weather was perfect, the food was good and there was tons of shred and other good times. Special thanks go out to my girlfriend jenn who did pretty much as much as i did, my parents for being so awesome and hospitable, Bruce Dole for bringing AMAZING trophies (someone please take a close up picture and post it somewhere?) and for judging, Jon Schneider for great work judging and being very generally helpful, Ianek for helping me a lot with competitions and having a lot of great ideas, and everyone else that made the trip down, especially those that drove 5+ hours with other people in the car or worse yet took a bus, drew krause

various videos should be coming out within the next couple weeks, and there's already plenty of pictures on facebook, so feel free to tag yourself and others, and definitely post pictures if you got em.

Thanks to Pete, Jen and Pete's parents for doing everything possible to make this jam great.

Pete - I think I left a dark blue coat at your house. Don't care so much about the coat right now, but I think there should be a phone and a key in the pockets. If found, let me know?

For all North East American players: LINK, LINK. Do it.

Excellent weekend that went by way to fast with all of the build to it. Awesome shredding with Waylon, Colin, Ian (again) Drew K., Bruce, Jon, Ben Cooke, my BSC brethren and of course everyone else. I'm sort of kicking myself in the head for being far to intimidated for not kicking with Ianek or Flavio so...throw another jam next year Bowler!

Scream me and kevin's thanks at your folks Pete for being so awesome with the massive amounts of food that Kevin and me absolutely thieved Friday and Saturday night.

EDIT: Sunday's shred wasn't too shabby either. Ben Little blowing up!

Thanks alot for everything, ridiculous jam!

Thank you for organizing this super jam! I really enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to meet all these great people. Looking forward to the next tournament in Boston.

Come to Montana Freestyle Jam! And go to Montreal!

I totally enjoyed myself in this jam. The weather was excellent, the food was excellent, and the amount of calves thrown down for footbag was, dare I say, excellent.

The only bad thing I would say is that space was cramped, but I've gone through worst before (Dick Shea's @ NYC). The worst thing that happened to me this weekend was that I flushed one of my contacts in the sink on Saturday morning, the day for comps, but I think I played alright.

But what really brought it together was meeting so many exceptional footbaggers showing up to this jam. The Maine crew, BSC, NYFA and everyone else within the East Coast and other parts of the US (Ben Little). Extremely stellar.

And again, thanks for the hospitality Pete! You, your gf, your parents, and everyone else that helped make this jam blow up deserve the most thanks! I am definitely returning next year.

PS: I'll be sure to bring "Set!" and "Pass the Pigs" next year.
