Me and josh are trying to make it to this event, but are pretty broke. Help us get there, buy some bags!

Am I missing something? Don't you live in Chicago?

I will likely be in New York for X-mas, can I catch a lift with any New-yorkers or Canadians?

Think Josh is saying that he's short on funds for crash space/food.

Just a shameless ploy to move bags

I will be making it to all 3 days this year

EDIT: But josh toils night and day on his bean bags, so get one anyhow

I will be there fo sho

edit: Just want to note ahead of time that while we most likely will try to get a suite similar to what we had the last few years, it's not a guaranteed thing. There have been years where we tried but were unable to secure one. So if you are thinking of coming out, plan on booking a room or splitting one with other people attending so you don't get left out in the cold (and it will be cold). Obviously we'll have more concrete details on this once we start getting closer to the date, this is just a heads up.

Yay!

I can save $50 if I fly out on the 2nd, will I have somewhere to crash??? I'll be there either way.

We need to make sure the boys from West Virginia come. Risden too.

Maybe if we start trying to contact Juan soon enough, he might be able to make it. I'd even make a detour north to pick him up.

Mr. Hansen ... you are very ambitious.

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 12 Sep 2007 01:07

Yes, I want to pwn James, so he must come, and I must train.

plane tickets went from 550$ to 431$, I might buy them today, still thinking perhaps wait a bit more for cheaper price.

Called for the shred room today, and began the dance of prices and availability.

The guy said that the 29 some big conference is going on, but that place has been dead for the past 7 years that we've gone there.

Price is dancy - "usually nothing cheaper than $500"
I need to talk to Steve and Scott about what they did last year. Some nonprofit stuff may be in place here. Or perhaps just the last minute-ness of our request last year.

Hi Everyone!

I just posted the NYJ '07 event to the footbag.org listings. I have a meeting coming up with the City of Chicago to discuss this event and next summer's Taste of Chicago event.

The Hyatt (even though Jon is right, the Hyatt security people have become more and more draconian in their intolerance of our impromptu shreds) was very open to us shredding in that unused room across the walkway near the parking lot. We were able to stay as late as we needed, and I don't remember security even going over there to check on us. We got the room for under $200 per night and we hope to do it again this year. With the proper planning, we shouldn't need the last-minute generosity of supporters like Mr. Goldberg (it was great that he helped out last year, but we are planning to get it done through entry fees).

See ya!
Scott Davidson
