Montreal End-of-Summer Jam 1 (september 11-12-13)
I don't think I'll be coming, since it is so soon after funtastik and whatnot. Tournament resources have been drained for the moment.
I do hope that all of you enjoy yourselves. I request that one of you foreigners gives Ianek and Matthieu and high five, with your hand behind your back. Twice.

I have the same sentiments with Jay that I don't think I can arrive this weekend for Montreal. My travel expenses and footbag mojo have all been drained from Funtastiks, so it's unlikely that I will show (not even for poutine and the women of Montreal).
Also, a lot great additions to the NYFA has occurred in my absence last weekend, so I want to hang with the club to see what's up.
Sorry guys. But, Mathieu, I'm still interested in the Quantum03s. PM me your Paypal, and we'll discuss business.
PS: I want to know who is playing the "elbow game" and how many points have been accounted for by each person. It's where you slip your elbow into the space made by any individual that has their arms affixed onto their hip, just in case you're wondering. I think Erik would be the hardest to go after because he's so tall...

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87
