So here's the deal. The jam is now definitely happening. There are 4 things a giant multi-day parkour jam needs. People, lodging, transportation, and parkour. Everything else is just icing on the cake. We have people, transportation, and parkour. Therefore, lodging is the most pressing issue. Once we get that figured out, we can go crazy on the details. So any ideas on campgrounds/hostels/lodging?

Logan Lay · « **Reply #2 on:** May 05, 2007, 07:52:16 AM »

What about we crash where we can Friday Night and Sunday Night and hit a KOA or campground by Golden on Saturday Night using the Tents Kannagisai talked of?

NOTE: IF ANYONE CAN GET AN AMAZING DEAL AT A HOTEL OR HOSTEL OR LODGE PLEASE DISREGARD THE IDEA OF A CAMPGROUND AND HOOK US ALL UP. I know I can discounts at a few Hotels but nothing like what we need. IE: A floor or a wing for $100

On the note of "Icing" I think food should take a bit of a priority - especially if we're all crashing at the same place and it's a campground.
Previous Prudant Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance

Then for BBQs & Parties, we throw one on Friday @ Kannaisai's (if he's still down), one at the Campground Saturday and one at somewhere else Sunday?

Just a few idea starters...

Did a quick search for campgrounds tonight...there is definitely a big campground up in Golden Gate Canyon SP near Golden...

I'll have to dig deeper to find something closer to town(s).

What would be ideal? Nearer to Denver? Boulder? In between? Do we want a nice wilderness area (good views, less noise) or just a place to crash?

Ryan Ford · « **Reply #4 on:** May 07, 2007, 08:56:40 PM »

Well the bulk of the jam is going to take place at Red Rocks and downtown Denver. Golden Gate Canyon would be a really nice place to camp but it is a 30 min. drive from Golden. I guess just any close campground to crash in would be ideal. The only one I know of is at Chief Hosa which is about 10 min. away from Red Rocks and 25 min. from downtown.

I shall be there probably on the second day of the jam, because its closer to where i live. i'll probably be the one standing farther away taking pictures and smiling

Hunter Neiblum · « **Reply #6 on:** May 09, 2007, 07:12:56 PM »

yeah I might have to come on the second day as well sadly... I'm coming back from a trip on the 11th

NoSole · « **Reply #7 on:** May 15, 2007, 12:01:16 PM »

Woohoo!! Finally got the login problem solved! Now I can actually respond!

Alright, so anyway, there seem to be a good number of people here in SF excited about going and making a real effort to get there rather than just talking about it. If we can pull it off you may see upwards of 10+ people from SF out there, and from what I can tell, most are planning on staying the whole time. There hasn't been quite as much interest from PKCali or WAPK (most likely cuz of Faelcind's wedding that weekend), but I'm hoping that'll pick up as the date approaches.

That's all I've got for now, but I'm sure I'll post again as new info comes to light.

Can't wait!

Kipup · « **Reply #11 on:** May 28, 2007, 05:38:21 PM »

So, I just looked at flights and I think I'll be able to make it out there.
If anyone has any floor space left could you send me a PM (Kannagisai or Demon)??

Look forward to jamming with you all,

That remains to be seen! Haha!

Anyway, it's official. I'm coming. I bought my tix yesterday. I'll be flying in on Friday evening from the Outdoor Retailers trade show in Salt Lake City with PD and teh st0ne. Seriously can't even contain myself right now!

Crosspost from another thread that I don't think anyone reads:

I'd have to persuade my parents, but I don't think it'll be too much of a problem.

I'm in!

Anyone else from the DC area (M2 is the only other one I noticed) want to grab the same flight? I'm in for friday-monday.

It looks like housing is still being worked out, correct?

Ryan Ford · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2007, 10:01:13 AM »

Yeah guys, we are still working on the housing stuff. Don't worry about it though. Everyone will definitely have floor space, a camping site and a tent, or a cheap hostel/hotel room.

Altimot · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2007, 12:19:42 PM »

ooo im so excited! count the springs guys in for at least day two of it. we will probably go up for day 1 as well.

ZacharyCohn · « **Reply #16 on:** May 30, 2007, 01:56:53 PM »

Just an update, I found a flight out friday morning, in monday night from BWI to Denver for $235, I think, from orbitz/airtran.

Kathryn · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2007, 04:05:14 PM »

So, I would highly appreciate it to anyone who would be nice enough to save me a parking spot somewhere in downtown close to where the start of the jam is taking place. I hate driving downtown and I get lost so someone help me out...ahem, Demon. (or as I like to call you, Ryan)

Also, I would like to see if anyone is willing to do a handstand pirouette on top of cat fountain in downtown Denver. I believe I have done it the most times EVER, which is maybe 3 or 4 times. Just TRY and beat me, good luck

Merci

Vapor · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2007, 01:05:12 AM »

I'll be there! I just need a lodging place... But I'm really excited!

NICK DAGGER · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2007, 05:37:02 PM »

I'm turning 18 in a matter of days and probably moving out in a few weeks, so I no longer have parents to stop me from going.
I just need to to know who the hell is gonna pick me up from the airport, cause I'm coming all the way from New Orleans!
