Midwest Jam 09 - Minneapolis MN - June 12-14th
« on: March 20, 2009, 06:44:03 PM »
The Midwest Jam will be held in Minneapolis MN this year, June 12-14. 

To make sure we get as many people for our community, we needed to make the date earlier than it usually is.  Hope this does present too many problems to people who are used to it being in July.  Lodging will be provided at (depending on how many people) various traceurs houses. 

Stay tuned for more information...

I don't think I've got anything going on that weekend, count me in.  I'll mark it on my Calendar now.

Oh yeesh, that's right at the end of our school year (although I can think of no better way to kick off the summer vacation). It may conflict with some teacher end-of-year responsibilities (bleh), I'll have to see. I'm so there!
She followed slowly, taking a long time,
as though there were some obstacle in the way;
and yet: as though, once it was overcome,
she would be beyond all walking, and would fly.

A hearty thumbs up for your comment Muse.  We teachers have special reason to celebrate!  I'll be there, organizing, jamming, and possibly hosting? 
Any good vibes y'all can send my way to help the knee heal in time would be returned with good karma.

Yay, Midwest Jam, and key climax in the documentary!  I'm so there, with a camera in one hand and a railing in the other.

We are currently trying to figure that out but with any luck we'll do downtown and the pit and the U of M.

I hear there's good things to hit in the red light district.

If you know what I mean...

I don't live anywhere near there either, STL, but I'm working on going to more jams since I've gotten better so hopefuly me and the crew can make it up!
I always face north, therefore I have no guides other than my body and mind. By always facing north I am always moving forward and up, regardless of the obstacle in my path.

Well, there isn't really much to do in the warehouse district because it's pretty much just buildings.  There is some stuff here and there but nothing really to accommodate a large group of people.  But we will be hitting up some places downtown.

And Zach, no, I don't get what you mean.  Could you please explain it?  I don't understand what's so funny about a stoplight....
