Tech Conference Dinner?

[Jacob]

Musikman, you can take the ????? off of my name, I'm in.

I'm wondering, how many people who are going are actually playing? It'll be nice to know who's actually on the other side of the goggles later in the week.

[Panzerr]

What is the date?

[Jacob]

It's the night before the tech conference, which is Monday August 5th. So this would be, err, umm, hang on I know this, Sunday the 4th

I'm bringing my gear and money to play in the "Open Play" arena. I called and they said there will be open play for anyone who is not in official competition.

[Muzikman]

I am playing 7man Nov with POG...

[Jacob]

I forgot to mention, I'll be playing 7 man novice, Stingers Weasels

SprayingMango, do you know, is the open play for non-tourney players only or can the rest of us waste our tourney paint money there too? I hate playing in a tourney without having played for more than a week (I feel all out of sorts) and probably won't be able to practice that weekend.

[Mango]

I think it's open to anyone. The lady on the phone just said that open play would be availible behind the food vendors. My last post is confuseing I know, what I meant was that for those not lucky enough to have a team to compete, there will be a place to play.

[Bigzamboni]

I want to play in the young guns tournament, but finding decent players in the 10-14(really like 12-14 to be competitive)age range that can get to IAO isn't very easy.

Also, being at the age where you are now just legally able to get a job(but not many will hire until around 16) and not having sponsors also makes it difficult to foot the bill entry and paint.

Alas, if I can't find a team to play on or at least be an alternate for, I don't think I will be going.

up. In case anyone else wants to go

[Muzikman]

Ok, we are almost two weeks away....This weekend I will call a few places and find out about reserving tables that can be pushed together or some such thing. Does everyone agree that we meet at the Sheraton Inn in Cranberry at 6:00PM and then car pool to Station Square for a bite to eat?

[Clare]

I'm staying at The Marriott Fairfield Inn, does anyone know how far away that is from the sheraton?

[cledford]

Jason, Good plan. Thanks for doing the leg work on finding a place. If you need a card to reserve let me know and I'll book with my Amex.

[Kevmaster]

i think that the sheraton would be the best place to meet, and yeh, car pool over to the place of eating

[Jacob]

Cap- I was looking on mapquest when I booked my room there, and I think it said about two minutes drive.

[Mango]

im fine with anything, it's up to the VIP's
