COMOPOLO

Got this email from Zach. I can't attend but I figured I'd pass it on to you fools.

Start letting me know how many teams you'll be bring and if you need housing. Keep in mind we're capping this at 24 teams, so while i know Lexington could bring 6 teams, please don't ;) I posted a couple different sizes of the flyer, try to repost it as much as possible.

And does anyone have a working phone number or email for Dougie Fresh from Decatur? Or facebook him if he has that (i don't).

This shit is gonna be wild!

I'd like to go if anyone would like being one a team with me :-)

Not sure. Two weeks after lex and I wouldn't mind saving a few bucks for MKE trip in October

If I were back in the midwest, I would not miss this. Just sayin'!

We all know why you want to go to this, Rick, and it ain't polo;)

CoMO will most likely be skipping this one. Floppy, Colleen, and Timmy D are supposedly planning a float trip that weekend while I'll be busy moving.

most likely ;] i only get every other weekend off and this is one of them. i would be down to go, do aaron and i have a third?!

i had an awesome time in bloomington and wouldn't mind going back if the float trip idea falls through! then again sounds like it might be much smaller...

I move that weekend too but fuck it! haha yeah john and i need a third!

Dont let the potential float trip stop anyone from going to this. The float trip was not thought of as a polo trip/'Ima gonna hate you if you dont go' trip, I just wanted to extend the invite for anyone with no plans who wanted to get on a river. I bet Bloomington will be awesome! And whoever goes from COMO better win!

is anyone from como at all interested in this tourney? I plan on using t-shirt sales money to cover gas money. Aaron hand and I are in for sure and need to know if we should start shopping for a foreigner!

Can't swing it.

Friday: Check-in is at the Atlas (a bar) at 4th & College. No pickup that night cause most people are getting in late, we have preparations to make, and we want people to actually sleep (and party :) If you need housing on Friday night please come to check-in so we can hook you up with your host. It just makes things easier for everyone.
Saturday: Court construction is at 7am (feel free to come) and play starts at 9am sharp. Swiss rounds during the day, double elimination in the afternoon. We'll crown a champ around 7 or 8, then big afterparty at my place (das polohaus/Grant & Dodds) around 9 or 10. FYI - the award for "Party's Hardest" will be awarded at Midnight on Saturday. You hear that Louisville and St.Louis???
Sunday: 11am (ish) brunch at the Runcible Spoon (6th st between Grant & Dunn) then pickup/mimosas/teardown at the courts from noon til ???

$30/team, uniforms strongly encouraged. There will be an award for best dressed.

Everyone who comes is guaranteed to play at least 6 games, maybe more depending on time.

Lunch will be served around 1pm. The menu is "mexican feast" with some delicious carnitas-style pulled pork and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Dinner is up to you, but we will gladly point you in the direction of one of the many amazing restaurants in town. Or you can just start drinking

Housing: if you know you need a place to stay just let me know! We'll have plenty of floorspace, a fair amount of couches, and a small "tent city" will be popping up in Tyler's backyard. Keep in mind all the Blooomington polo players live within a six block radius, so you matter where you are you'll be close to friends, the afterparty, and lots of restaurants/shopping/etc.

Questions/concerns/catastrophes? Just ask. In case any of you don't have my phone number it's 812-679-6671. Text me so i know who it is, i don't answer unknown calls ;)

I'M SO FUCKIN' EXCITED I'M USING ALL CAPS!

sounds like fun! i'll think about it harder i guess...

Boom! Came here to post that same info, thanks Nick.

I promise this'll be fun. Plus it's only one day from start to finish so that's plenty of travel time on both sides. Plus it's a great tourney for newer players since most of the slayers will be in or on their way to Calgary.

Zach, instead of being nice and shit I'd just be all like, "you pussy bitches better come to this fucking tournament or I'll never support COMOPOLO again."

P.S. How is your Joust coming along?

i think we have 2 dudes coming fer sher so we may need to scoop someone up. both c+ players by NAH standards, at least!

Yeah I'm really stoked for this!

eh, nick you're nicer than me :)

the joust is in utero at the moment and i'm collecting parts. it'll come together too late for this season but watch the fuck out once i saddle up!

who's airinhand and muskrat? you guys need housing for the invite? glad to hear como might make an appearance.

I am Aaron Hand, and muskrat is Johnathon McDowell. We are for sure coming now! Jordan is going to be our third. I have a friend that lives in Bloomington that we may stay with but if not then we will would love some floor/couch space!
