Saturday:
-Wake up, eat, and head to Oceanside Pier (see directions below) at 11am for an all day footbag fun fest.

Sunday:

-There's good food near the beach for people who don't bring their own lunch or who want to do dinner together.

Monday:
-Wake up, eat, and head to Tony's house.
-Kick, have fun, go home.

Days Inn Encinitas: The rate for a room with two QUEEN beds is $89 per night before tax. There is a pool, free parking, and a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The motel is only 1 exit from Tony's house.

Not everyone (not from SD) on the confirmed list will fit into one room, so it would be great for a few people or groups to reserve a room and fill it with people on the confirmed list.

wow, my dad JUST told me today we are going to california on the weekend of the 14th. i think god wants me to play footbag =) il l talk to him and try to work it out. location/schedule?

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 13 Jan 2008 02:44

ooh. My work* schedule conflicts a bit. Plane is only $250 though.

Moxie · Post by **Moxie** » 13 Jan 2008 12:10

Cale, there is no doubt in my mind that you're experiencing divine footbag intervention. The exact schedule/location stuff will be decided on and posted later. There will be kicking at Tony's house in his massive driveway at some point and at the beach at other points. If you need to know where those locations are in order to convince your dad, PM me and we'll take care of it.

Tom... make this happen.

Anne · Post by **Anne** » 13 Jan 2008 12:46

Yeyh! I'm so psyched about this!! I've never been at any comps/jams apart from Danish championships, so I'll be there with a happy face and the best footbag mood!! If we're lucky, I might even bring along another Danish player (Kim Mortensen), who's in California during Feb!

Alright this is my drive way. It has enough for 12 circles. That is a 4 man circle.

Sorry for the big ass pictures

It is the flattest surface ever.

Over view. I was on my roof.

This is one of the areas you can come in

Another

Also I have Kittens so if you are allergic to cats... Well... Be prepared.

Damnit............

I was comming down to SD for spring break.... SPRING BREAK! This is something I really do not want to miss out on but the dates are rediculous with work and school 24/7 in my life right now. You guys suck. Please tell me we can do it again during spring break.

Burrin · Post by **Burrin** » 13 Jan 2008 20:16

Aaron Orton and Dave Clavens? Spring break? lol You guys can come and hang with us during spring. :]

I'm going to do everything in my power to make it to this Jam. My parents told me to find events closer to home, and this is perfect! Hopefully i can go with Cale and his parental unit. Though i need way more info before my dad will even consider it. He's one of those "I need to know absolutely everything about this event" guys. Heres hoping.

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 13 Jan 2008 21:17

that shred area looks sick. and its sunny, not cold and miserable like here. im so living in california when i grow up...

scott behmer · Post by **scott behmer** » 14 Jan 2008 16:14

I'd really like to make this jam, it'd be nice after missing nyj, I'll see what I can do.

Frank_Sinatra · Post by **Frank_Sinatra** » 14 Jan 2008 17:24

Thinking about it.

Burrin · Post by **Burrin** » 14 Jan 2008 18:27

Umm a few things.

If you have a shred mat please try to bring it. People of San Diego love to play on shred mats. I can play on cement but mats would help. If you can bring them that be cool

I believe for saturday night we will be eating out. I am thinking maybe a pizza joint. About a half mile from the hotel. I will see if I can make reservations. It is pretty cheap too. More to come

For shredding at my house. Park on the street. This will make the shred spot less crowded.

I think there should be plenty of rides. Anne has a monster Van. Santa Cruz and Vegas guys will be driving. I don't know if they will be offering rides. Unfortunately I don't drive. So more to come on this

Umm Not important but if you have kind of activity to do after shred feel free to suggest... I play magic the gathering. If anyone else plays I glad to play there decks. I have type 2 and 1.5. If you want to go swimming in the ocean be my guest it is pretty cold though. Like hellish cold

That is just minor info. Complete info soon to come.

SlashC · Post by **SlashC** » 14 Jan 2008 19:56

ugh

I didn't know there were any players in San Diego. I was there last summer and played by myself in a parking lot. Well, I guess now I know.

Anne · Post by **Anne** » 15 Jan 2008 14:56

I have a 7 seaters van, and we're two in it at the moment, so if anyone finds it easier to go to LA and hitch a ride, I still have room for 5!!

Moxie · Post by **Moxie** » 17 Jan 2008 21:36

I just added Alex Dworetzky and Aidan Clemente to the list of people thinking of attending, and Eric Chang to the confirmed list. Also, I'm getting back to people who sent me PM's over the last few days.
