One week! Hyped!

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 05 Aug 2011 13:17

Whew! After a few financially shaky weeks, I pulled some strings and am now 100% confirmed for this event.
Arriving at BOI 11:25pm on the 11th. Flight 227 from Denver.

How does getting from airport to hotel work again exactly?
There's some sort of shuttle??

Yes there is a shuttle, but also I will probably just come and pick you up and take you to the hotel, much faster

Glad to see your coming

Will there be water at the site? I'm assuming all events are outdoors, and weather.com is predicting it will be 99 degrees and sunny out.

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 08 Aug 2011 10:32

Yes, me and nick landes actually just bought a BUNCH of water, also there is water fountains, and even a small water park if you get too hot at the event site

Are routines at different venues each day? Are there pictures of the venues? I'm just wondering if it's all in the sun, or if there's a shaded area. I'll admit I'm a little worried about the heat.

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 08 Aug 2011 12:44

here is a pic of the exact spot we will be doing routines. There is a little shade (albeit not much)

yes it has been rather hot here in Boise as of late so bring lots of sunscreen and water!

also i might add, there should be a few tents at the event site that people can hide from the sun in. So finding shade shouldnt be an issue. Also the event will be in the same place on both days, although on one day it might be totally in the shade under a gazebo (in the right side of the pic) (still trying to secure that area)

It's been 70 degrees on the coast. I think we hit 75 the other day and I was roasting. Hope you have medical on hand :p its been 5 years since I lived in Boise but ill never forget the heat.

The Seattle crew is getting up tomorrow to start the drive over. I have a favor to ask all of the other players who will be in Boise.

Don't let me puss out and play four square on the side for three days straight. I didn't come to be shy.

I really hope that the people who came enjoyed themselves, and that they will come again soon. This event will be 10x the event that this year was. I only had 6 months to make this event possible. At this point i have 364 days so hopefully I can pull out some bigger things in the future!

I encourage people post write-ups from the event as I eagerly want to know what people thought of the event.

thank you all who attended, hopefully there will be even more next year!

Zeb

p.s. Ken farted again
