Why don't we just play at the hotel?

Also, are we getting picked up from the airport or taking public transportation? There's some gas money in it for you

some packing tips:

- earplugs if youre sharing a room. someone always snores.
- plastic bags for dirty laundry / stinky footbag shoes
- some vitamins. someone always gets sickly
- your own towel
- money for holly bags!!!

can't wait to see everyone! merry christmas, yall! see you tomorrow!

bring money for drugs too kids (you know, that quick christmas cash your granny gave u)

I was thinking somewhere more spacious to kick than by the elevators

If UIC has all its buildings closed then it'll have to do. For anyone wanting to kick tomorrow give me a call (773) 322 2950

@zac; I don't have a car, so no can do

I'm not doing mass airport pickups this year guys, but the train will likely get you there in the same amount of time.

Most of the snow melted in the past 2 days.

I'd like some phone numbers to coordinate meeting up. Please PM me ur digits if you like, or post them here.

Theoretically I arrive at the airport around 11 am today (no checked bags), and will be heading to the host hotel via public transport. Once I get to the hotel I have nothing planned, so if people want to hang out, call me at 6 oh 7, to too nine, to for one seven.

Looking forward to seeing everybody!

I was delayed by over 24 hours last year and got really sick

Hopefully no one has such a bad experience this year

I had the greatest of times! 7-8 hours of shredding on sat, and about 4-5 today = arthritic pain.... but it all paid off because I took first in intermediate routine and circle contest! not bad for my first competition ever.

Thanks everyone for putting this event together, highlight of 2009 for me!

peter pan · Post by **peter pan** » 28 Dec 2009 19:51

Sorry I couldn't make it for day 2, fried my legs on day 1 too bad. If anyone is still going to be in town on Wednesday and wants to kick give me a call or a PM.
