New Years Jam 2007

Get your plans finalized or Henry will beat you up!

Music
Make and bring playlists that are good for a footbag event, and we can plug them in. Paul A. last year had some good stuff. Reile has a big ipod now, so I'll have him conjure up some dopeness like from his vids.

CDs can be played if u bring a player or if Scott does, but are main guy is the MP3 player so I won't be bringing one. If CDs are important to more people than I'll bring one.

Sleep
Book your room now! they'll sell out. I already have some peeps who need space, so if you have a room and want to lower your costs, let me know.
If you need space - POST here, and people will scoop you into their rooms.

Net
No official space for net. There is space along the perimeter of the site, not adjacent to our footbag site, concrete floor, and someone may ask you to take it down.

UPDATE - Finally

Check the first post. Make sure your name is in the right place. Ask questions.

I don't want Jerm disappointed. Even though our site is surrounded by other sports, they won't be there in the evening. I'm fairly sure we could set up a court on the adjacent carpet in the evening, but not guaranteed.

Booge! Nice postola.

Some friends of mine from Wisconsin will be visiting me - possibly coming to NYJ for a bit. So I'll have to ask everyone to pretend to be worse than me at footbag while they are around. K thanks.

Save your christmas/channukah/kwanza/non-denominational holiday money.

I plan on making a few more of the large/extra large bags because Henry complimented on how well-sized they are.

We have space for about 3 more people in our hotel room if anyone is interested.

I am buying a Fletcher bag! The one I got last year was Tits McGee, and I only retired it recently.

There's a small possibility that I might come to this.

Tom, I'll check the fares for plane tickets this weekend. I doubt that they will look pretty enough for my air miles, but I'll try.

It looks like TWO carloads of ontario shredders will be representing.

Stoked!!!

Important
I must have your name on a list by December 16th because it'll be on the VIP list of people allowed to get into the evening site. Make sure your name is on there, and your friend who is coming, etc.

We shred, 4 square, try other sports and games, then eat good Chicago pizza and sandwiches, and make up really fun ghetto games like left hand throw and crotch fire, and wander around the dark empty McCormick Center and play footbag golf...
wake up - eat pancakes and repeat.

I think this might be the closest description of heaven that I've ever read.

I think we need to get a game of hide n' go seek going in this alleged dark empty McCormick Center.

Oh, and Aaron Shephard is from WA.

I'll be at O'hare at 1PM. We should be a couple to meet up around that time, if I recall some others where also landing around the time.

Also who plans on staying at Chicago for new years eve? I'm leaving on the 1st, so I'm looking for people to hang out with for the new year.

Also, is there still possibility of being picked up?
