Welp, had to bail out. Which really makes me mad, 'cause I really wanted to rub my near perfect fantasy football season in everyone's faces!

Getting home was insane... I just made it.

Huge thank you to the organizers for throwing this again, I had a great time.
I'll try and do a write-up soon.

Some quick thank yous:

CIC and Scott for throwing this again. It's great to have a jam to go to during the holidays.

CIC room for letting me crash there last night.

Bacon, for last night.

Brian Bear for fixing my G-Units and giving them another life. I'm incredibly grateful.

Gatesman and Sinatra for sexual bonding in the sauna. I doubt that could possibly be misinterpreted, so I'll leave it at that.

dragonfly footbags for sponsoring competition, so everybody tried harder.

Steve Goldberg, for being so cool that the event was named after him the last day.

Matt K for filming a lot of stupid things for me all weekend.

Montreal for making a crazy ass drive to the event. I'm glad you guys did, it was great playing with you.

Zac Miley, for competing against me in several events.

Everybody for putting up with my awkward high fives all event. Trust me, you didn't want my germs.

I took so much out of this jam. I had such a great time meeting/shredding/chatting/hanging out with all the new/old faces (mostly new). Will be making a video of our road trip to NYJ sometime soon. I was stoked to compete in Open Circles even though I kinda sucked. It just shows me where my game should be. So my next days consist of drilling/chilling/editing. Thanks to everyone for all the great times this weekend.

Hi all, Nyj was a blast. I have to share this though- I just got diagnosed with strep throat today. I have had a recurring ear infection for a couple months and finished up my round of amoxycillin just prior to nyj, so I shouldnt have been contagious. But I may have been seeing as how now Ive tested positive for strep. Btw- amoxycillin is the medicine for strep and ear infection. Im confused because supposedly there isnt amoxycillin resistant strep?

So If you have a sore throat go to the dr. Sry. if I got anyone sick. I seemed to notice lots of sick peeps on day one so maybe theres just alot of stuff going around.

zachatree · Post by **zachatree** » 21 Dec 2010 23:10

Great, just what I want to read when I have a sudden stuffy nose an sore throat.

crazylegs32 · Post by **crazylegs32** » 21 Dec 2010 23:38

im giving the heads up vs hiding it?

zachatree · Post by **zachatree** » 21 Dec 2010 23:44

No thank you for that John. I just hope I don't have strep.

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 22 Dec 2010 06:41

I totally wouldn't have made out with you had I known that.

Hey I lost my Ipod USB connector either in the shred room or at Holly's place, if anyone has found one let me know

thanks

A BIG thanks to rob creel for bringing SET (the card game) to NYJ!

You have no idea how stoked I was to see those cards out on the table, it made my life. Not to mention the enlightening algebriac conceptual explanations that I was not aware of

I feel it should be a must-have at any jam

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 22 Dec 2010 12:09

Oh man, Rob Creel is too good at Set!
