No, you should not have 2 east coast tourneys in a row.

I wear large sized t shirts. The event is going to be awesome. I went to the event site and I think that it is one of, if not the best, event site I have ever seen. The view is unbelievable and the gym and net fields are too. The only down side is that there aren't huge numbers of spectators on Roosevelt island but there are still a lot. NYFA is trying to find some way to promote the event, if you have any ideas please chime in.Image

So I def want to make this, but looking for some crash space to make this trip happen. Tight on money at the moment and anything that'll make this trip cheaper will help.

I think Jade wants to go, and perhaps Matt K. I'll see if I can round up a crew.

So anyone want to house me?

Whenever people show up there will be a shred. Saturday we will be at the event site. Friday somewhere in the city most likely.

Entrance fees are $30 (I think, will double check) which include players pack, breakfast on saturday. (bagels/ fruit/ water/ coffee maybe)
There will be $5 added on for each prize money event. $5 will go into the prize pool and there will be some money added on from NYFA/ other sponsors.

Hope this helps

don't worry about a hostel, if there is no other crash space you can stay at my apt. There are people coming in Friday, not sure who tho. There will be something happening.

I'll be busy working during Thursday and Friday all day, but I'll be free during the evenings at around 6 pm or so. If you have my cell number, give me a ring.

We will have crash space for all. You can give me or Barrett a ring if need be.

I wear a small.

Hey so it looks like me, Pete B, Kevin H, and maybe one other member of the BSC will be attending this shindig. We'll either be arriving Friday night or Saturday afternoon (still unsure about everyones schedule). Does anyone still have crash space for 3 or 4 lanky footbaggers?

too late to get a men's small?

I'll be coming in tomorrow for my gig tomorrow night at Bar East - if you have facebook, look here!

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/even ... 1909746340

even if you guys can't make it, it would be great if you could invite some friends in the area on FB.

Is anyone available to make it out? Hope so!

Hey everyone. I will be directing freestyle this year. We will be running routines (2 rounds), Circle and sick 3. I was also thinking of running golf and Iron man. How much interest do people have in competing in these events? Matt, I'll be at your show, it should be killer.
