Heavens no! The drive to a footbag tournament is never grueling, in fact, it is proven to me, through a little experience, to feel like Christmas morning. Especially with other footbaggers in the car, then it just feels like, the opposite of mushy bread.

And think of it, this isn't any old jam, this jam has Matt Cross. You could take the time thinking about how terrible the drive was, and instead count the seconds until you get to see his crank. Every 1404th second, you could scream "hot diggity".

And what do you do when you see Matt Cross crank? You ask for a Matt Cross PS whirl. Waylon, this is your new quest.

Don't speed, though. There are cops waiting around the corner along 17.
My college is literally right off of 17. I'm glad it'll be an easy drive 8)

I'll be busting some maneuvers at the top East Coast event of the year.

How about an attendees list in the first post? I see Matt, Will D, Doug Tizzank, myself, Zach M, Adrienne, Matt K, Will T, and John G on this thread that say they're more than likely to come. Jay m-f'ing Boychuck (official BAP name), Waylon, and others will probably attend. Such as Paul Agostinelli or Mike A if we're lucky.... who knows? The list of big names to drop doesn't end!

i might have room in my car depending on how many people ride up with me, waylon.

i've made the trek from rockland to rochester many dozen times, and i've found that taking the thruway straight to the roc is much more convenient than 17. yeah, there's a toll (about 13 bucks now if i'm not mistaken), but you get the conveniences of rest stops, gas stations en route, and less cops :D

door to door it used to be 350 miles from my house to my apartment, record time is 4 hours 15 minutes, but i don't speed NEARLY that much anymore. still do it in under 5 hours though :twisted:

Jay, you crack me up like Lady Gaga being mistaken for a lampshade.

Ben Cooke is interested in attending this jammin' jam.

My exams don't start to at least the 19th and with a possible strike probably a bit later so I am good to go. I will most likely need a drive if it conflicts with Cassy's exam schedule.

Howdy. I just had a T-shirt idea for this year so I slapped it together in ms paint. Of course it's just the concept, so its not perfect.
