Prelim. Announcement: Sun 'n Fun X July 11, 2009
Hello,
Sun 'n Fun X will be Nationals difficulty house-written tournament. Maryland has tentatively agreed to mirror it again, and I would be open to other mirrors in the midwest and west coast.
The distribution will approximate an mACF distribution with a no doubt already anticipated slight lean towards philosophy and the social sciences. I will attempt to minimize the French postmodernist feminist philosophy, but I can't make these kind of promises.
If there are some sciency types out there that would be willing to help edit and/or write some questions, I will not turn you down and I can be e-mailed at aragab at mail dot usf dot edu.
I look forward to writing this tournament, and for you all in the community to enjoy.
Regards,

If I am not bound to work this weekend (I probably am not) I will play. Would appreciate teammates.

I would prefer to play a Chicago-area mirror (such as at Northwestern), but if this is not possible I should be able to make it to the DC area that weekend.

I need someone to teach me how to drive on the highway before this, but no, I am not old enough to rent without surcharges. One of my housemates for the summer, however, has a car. If I beg, cook delicious things, offer hard cash, and sign over my first-born, she may be amenable to lending it to me.everyday847 wrote:Presumably Hannah is old enough to rent and we could do something tricky involving driving.Jeremy Gibbs-Donnan Effect wrote:Count me in?

So, I don't think it's going to change the minds of anyone outside the state regarding travel, but due to ridiculous room-reservation rules at USF, Ahmad tells me that he'll be hosting the Florida SnF at Valencia in Orlando. So if you want to get a cheap flight down, we'll be happy to have you. If you don't mind a house full of kids (probably five between ages 4 and 7, due to previous plans), we could probably even put a small number of folks (like three?) up for free.

Probably, Nick.
Probably, Dan (depending on your definition of "right off").
It'll be a few weeks before I'm confirmed interested, because if I can't find a job before then, I might need to be spending my summer weekends looking for/working towards one. Also, while I'm open to giving people rides, my car fits 5 (4 comfortably), so space is limited.

perhaps? I'd look at the weekend cost of car rental + gas + tolls vs. everybody chinatown-ing it first, but if it's the better solution, I certainly don't mind helping out... I also have much experience roadtripping and would prefer not to use anyone else's vehicle for driving lessons... find me a co-pilot and we'd be good to go.everyday847 wrote:Katy, mind if we use you name in vain/ on a rental contract?

I will be driving down to this along with a motley collection of some yet-to-be-determined-for-sure teammates from around the area. If you're in the general vicinity of Atlanta and want to come, or better yet play on a team, let me know.

So if you want to get a cheap flight down, we'll be happy to have you. If you don't mind a house full of kids (probably five between ages 4 and 7, due to previous plans), we could probably even put a small number of folks (like three?) up for free.
