Well i think its safe to say that 80 percent of the cic crew is drug free.

If she is concerned im sure we can talk to her. I actually dont mind doing things like that im really good with parents, I think tom would be good at it too if he volunteers.

We are not hippies/skater punks we are athletes/hobbiests. I spent alot of time at skate parks teaching kids footbag so that they would have something else to be focused on besides television and drugs.

Show her the video thats posted so she can see this isnt some kind of hippie pot smoking convention.

is it going to be held in that same skate place like in the video?

if it is then ill show her that video and ill ask her if she wants to tak to anybody.

If you're saying I'm a rockstar, then yes, thank you very much. As far as large man boobs though, I think you got me beat on that one reid. You're in a class of your own

btw what day you getting in for thanksgiving reid? Maybe this sunday we could set up a shred with CIC? What do you say Reid? What do you say CIC?

I will be enforcing a drug-free atmosphere with burly hugs.

There will be no drugs at the event or at the official CIC suite.

People may drink at the party, or whatever they wish in private, but I'd like to maintain the public area where most of the freestylers are at any one time to be comfortable for everyone.

And I'm down for burly hugs

CiC suite is Private, and drinking is completely legal !!! Bastards !!!! That's it Tom, I'm gettin trashed before I come over just so I can knock your shit over on accident.

Tom wants the keg all to himself

Don't worry John, there'll be some other rooms that are booze friendly I'm sure. Just not minor friendly

Are there any plans as far as partying in the city and late night shred? Or is it just gonna be hanging out playing crotchball at the hotel? The event ends at 4 pm and if we are lucky we can take over the indoor spot across the street to shred in late at night if security is nice (maybe we should gather a bribe and bribe security?), but that spot will be more likely to get busted as more people show up. We may be able to move beds out of a room and shred a small circle or 2 in there but what other plan is there? Maybe theres a 24 hour fitness center downtown that can rent us a room?

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 17 Nov 2005 21:51

wow, it ends that early? I remember the last one I was at went till like 8 or 9 PM - will security kick us out of mccormick?

Yeah lets get some late night plans setup for sure good thinking.

Maybe we can talk to the hotel about renting out one of there conference rooms.

I mean lets just say we have a club meeting coming into town and need a conference room with the table removed. get a price and start a collection.

Back in my video game hayday all major game tourneys were held in large as conference hotel rooms. You just gotta get prices and get some money up front. I will fork up a decent chunk of change i got some money to spare (within reason)

It would be cool to have this setup for at least one of the days, and we can brainstorm for some other non footbag more chicago things for all the visitors to enjoy. Like showing them how real pizza is made.

Chim-Chim · Post by **Chim-Chim** » 18 Nov 2005 01:32

I think pizza is made about the same anywhere you go

but without the chicagga attitude

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 18 Nov 2005 12:36

Duuuuuuuuuuuuudes,

too many misconceptions.

First off, I'm fine with the booze. It's a mainstay at the parties. How else are we going to see Jon break bottles, Dan shatter them, etc.

Night Shred:
We have always shred at night with little problems. There is lots of space that we can find to play. Last time I was shredding with Jeremey Mirken for hours. Someties we have the night jam at the top of the escalator.

Other Night stuff:
I was hoping that at some point we could go out into the city for some food at least, and so our guests could see the town instead of just the hotel/convention center.

Blasphemy! Chicago's pizza is the best in the ENTIRE world! I wouldn't know since I don't eat anything else, but people tell me that other pizza joints in other towns have domino's tasting pizza.

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 18 Nov 2005 21:00

Philladelphia has really tastey pizza, oddly, the cheese steak sandwiches here are much better than in philly. Tom, I think you're mutating into donatello...

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 19 Nov 2005 06:18

I made a website for the event. I'm a beginner; I just downloaded photoshop and got busy with some html. The new photoshop has "ImageReady" which is really cool to use. The site is not complete yet, but I'm really proud of it so far. i will be updating it soon. I am going to add stuff. Suggestions are welcome. The graphics on the first page are a little cheesy maybe.

Great job Tom, I've already PM'd you some things that might need changed, and I'll keep'em coming.

On a more positive note, I'm glad you took the initiative and got it up, great work. I really like the main pages header image of Chicago, gets me all pumped to see you guys and everyone else that is coming
