I know its short notice and not really a NATIONAL jam but its been in the works on the state forums for a while and its definitely a REGIONAL jam.
We're looking to get everyone we can from all corners of the state and anyone else who might be willing to make the trip or be in the area.
ALL FLORIDA JAM!
* December 28th and 29th which is the friday and saturday between christmas and new years with enough time on either side to get here and back and not interfere with holiday plans
* Everyone is welcome! But we're hoping to use this as a stepping stone for a unified florida parkour community! The more the merrier
* Anyone who needs a pickup from any local airport or wants to carpool or needs a place to crash just message me on here or get ahold of me on AIM: Atria Ventrica
Friday December 28th
* People arrive, drop off gear
* Head into downtown tampa
* Hit the Tampa Art Institute, Raymond James Stadium, and Al Lopez Park (Massive MASSIVE Wooden playscape)
* Possible night gym jam in brandon/House Party
Saturday December 29th
* University of South Florida
* ... what? What else do you want? That place is amazing. Go watch one of CrazyRicans videos. Seriously. Shoo.
AND THATS IT!
Make it for one day! Make it for two! If you have a choice come on the saturday because USF is a warm no hassle place that will keep everyone busy!
If you're down for the holidays, its no more than 4 hours from ANY point in florida so stop on by. If you're in the south and want to make the journey, feel free. If you need more information or a pick up or place to crash let me or CrazyRican know!
Thanks for your time and we'll see you there!

i live in orlando if there is a jam session i want to be apart of it keep up with me # 3214022596 just let me know your a traceur
-
Yeah, I'm living in West Palm now, but if it looks like a good number of people get excited about this, count me in for sure. I'd be willing to carpool with other people in the area too if it looks like driving will be a problem for some. Also, have you tried overflux.com yet? It's a pretty inactive florida board most of the time but it's definitely worth a shot.
-
I would love this! Also, I think making it a traveling jam would be cool. Give us all a chance to show off our home courses and enjoy each other's hospitality! Count me in!
-
Yeah so are you guys from orlando or miami willing to trek out to tampa one weekend maybe in a month or two? Anyone who wants to can crash at my house if need be.
-
Hey if anybody needs a ride I would be more then welcome to car pool as well! (813) 325-0275 (Danny) As for the areas that Tampa has to offer here is a video of just 1/8th of our spots just on campus alone!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Ca6qlrvvRY (This video is of me and a fellow team member!)
-
yea im down and i can car pool with soimeone if needs be both wrists are tore up right now so 2 months would be ideal for me just keep up with me i work A LOT
-
Ok we need to get some more people together! I know there are more traceurs in florida then this!!!
-
Let's get a date set and then start feeling out the number of people that can make it. I will drive from Ocala for this.
-
Ok tomorrow I will make sure to see what the best bet on a date would be!
-
i'm in
-
Ok I need to hear some more insight from other members around florida!!!!!!
-
Yeah...we also need to find about how many to expect and how long you guys have been at it just for curiosity
We just need to find a good date.
-
I'm thinking the friday and saturday between christmas and new years. everyones off and thats enough time on either side to not interfere with either holiday. What do you all think?
-
i guess...where is it gonna be? here in tampa?
...its gonna be too cold...
-
what about around thanksgiving time?? We stil need some input from more members in the florida area!!
-
Yeah I think that if you do it between Christmas and New Years at least everybody will be off of school at that time. Tampa would be great for me locationally speaking as well, as opposed to Orlando or someplace on the east coast.
-
ok so then december it is! I just hope that it wont be too cold! But even if it is I will just make sure im dressed for the weather! Now we just have to set a definite date for this! Is everybody ok with tampa being the Jam spot? Any other input would help out a lot!
-
Yeah the first jam is gonna be a 2 day event here in tampa. Friday is gonna be Al Lopez, Raymond James, and Downtown and the Saturday will be USF. Every few months we'll have a different city host the jam and gather as a community to see how we've improved and keep lines of thought and communication open.
-
Wonderful. Finally there are a few of us here in west palm that are getting in touch with each other so we may have a small group making the trip over if all goes as I hope it will!
-
Ok good to hear, we'll me and a few others will definitely have a date setup by wednesday night!!
-
I'm in for December. I'll be driving from Ocala so if anybody needs a ride from the north, let me know.
-
I know there are more Traceurs in Florida then this. :'(
-
I'm in for December. I'll be driving from Ocala so if anybody needs a ride from the north, let me know.
There are two kids in crystal river, would you mind bringing them down?
-
@Dan "This is Anonymous",
:) Sounds like a plan.
CONSIDER ME A spectator,
unless said otherwise.
Now -> December : DO STUFF!
I want to drive to USF anyway, I can bring a friend who's interested
-
We'll if you want tomorrow (wednesday) we are having a jam at about 6:30 so you should definitely try and make it out there! You have my number so just call me! It will be at USF!!!!
-
This is interesting.
You all should know that most of the planning for the southeast goes on at http://www.overflux.com .
We've already started planning for a southeast-wide jam this winter in Jacksonville. People from GA, AL, etc are going to be coming. You guys seem to have settled on Tampa, though... :(
-
Well because there is a lot of us here on APK in or around Tampa...I used to go on overflux but no one had ever been on so I stopped and came back here.
-
We know about the overflux jam. We are planning a roadtrip with rented vehicles and all to attend. Yours is in feb. isn't it? Thats plenty of time between the two jams, But this is an opportunity to unite people in our own community/state. This is not just a one off thing. This is going to be a rotating, traveling chance for everyone in our communities down here to get a chance to attend a large training session.
-
I dont see any reason why we can't attend both jams, the more the merrier! lol We arent stuck on tampa we just dont have anybody else speaking up, so we are left with the decisions, and since we know tons of spots here and we wont be bothered by security, we went with what we know! You are more then welcome to make suggestions on when/where/how but you just have to speak up and let us know.
-
if any1 comes to tallahassee ill be glad to join in, theres plenty of places to go
-
Is it possible for you to post pics of the places that you have up there????
-
I'm in for December. I'll be driving from Ocala so if anybody needs a ride from the north, let me know.
There are two kids in crystal river, would you mind bringing them down?
I don't mind giving them a ride
-
i'd love to participate in an orlando jam
-
where do you live?
-
HELL yea im interested
i live in sarasota
just tell me when and ill be there!!
-
Flash we should get together soon! and Train!!!!!! Get back to me!
-
i liv in miami and im 15 ;D but i need help getting better there are no hotspots near where i live :P i think im pretty good since i can do a variety of stuff in my school shoes, but i kno for a fact that i can get better. any1 around here?
-
Hey I was just wondering if anything more had been decided about this jam? I'll be home in Port Charlotte starting december 13th and it's only an 1 1/2 hour drive up to tampa from there.
-
Yeah we have decided it will be on the 28th and 29th of december (Friday/Saturday) Here in Tampa! Anymore info or Transportation issues email me!
CrazyRican158@msn.com

Okay wonderful. I should be able to make that no problem.

Thanks for your time and we'll see you there!
-
Perfect! We'll drive up to u guys then- prob make it late friday and we've never been to Tampa before, so we r gonna need either a place to crash or a cheap hotel or even just a parking lot lol
-
how many people you got?
-
We'll dont worry about a hotel, because my house is open to whoever wants to stay!
-
Me and my bro. possibly one other guy but I doubt his rents will let him
-
Ok we'll I have no problem with that!
-
Yo is it possible to extend the jam a couple days? Like til Tuesday :)
-
Idk about Tuesday but I can do it Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday...wait thats right...yea i should be able to if you want.
-
Ok so I just want to know who is actually coming????? Please just comment say yes or no! Thanks.
-
yes
-
f#ck YES
-
POTATO CHIP! I think in some language some where that means yes! I can do fri and mon if yall decide to extend.
-
Ok so far we have about 15 people coming, anymore else?
-
If I can come, it will only be for Friday, unless you all decide to make it sunday and monday too, in which case I'll probably just come for those last two days. I'll let you know closer to that time.
-
I'm sure I can show up...I just need to know the times for each date.
-
Lol who's parents are going to let 15 strange kids sleep over?
-
Mine!!!!!! I think Andrew too!
-
Awesome! Hey crazy, let me get ur cell ph# so I can call u when I get into Tampa
-
(813) 325-0275 (Danny or Crazy whatever you want to call me)
-
I'll be there of course and will most likely bring a friend or two.
-
Yo I'm so psyched about this trip I keep thinking its this weekend LOL
-
Also Levenex...don't call Danny...Danny or Crazy...call him...an asshole
: ]]
Also Drew lives by himself so yea.
-
We'll they call me asshole because they think I can do everything, but if you want you can call me asshole too! LOL.
-
oh shit danny- you're wearing those shoes?
-
LOL I guess I am! I don't know.
-
Damn you guys I am so excited about the the 28th/29th I can't freaking wait to meet everybody!!!! I don't even care if I only meet one new person I am still excited!! Am I the only one?
-
NO!!! We are training hard, anticipating this thing! SO PSYCHED MWAHAHAHAHA!
For sure, MIAPK is making an appearance- We're all for a unified Florida parkour scene!
And a travelling jam would be sweet!
-
Whats on the 28th and 29th?
???
haha : ]]
-
This is going to be soo much fun! I have been actually resting though, My wrist/ankle needs to heal (sprains). But this week I am hitting the streets! LOL
By the way F.U. Josh! With your smart remarks, you know what the 28th and 29th is! lol
And by the way levenex if you have a myspace you should be my friend so you can see the vid from last wednesday's jam (CrazyRicanpr87@yahoo.com)
-

http://www.myspace.com/joshmaciel
-

For personal: CrazyRican158@msn.com
-
mine is cpt.titan@gmail.com
thats the one i use on myspace
the other one i use is pktitanx813x@hotmail.com
-
So levenex who else are you bringing with you?
-
The other core member of MiaPK. All of our other guys can't make it. I don't know if the other Miami crew knows about the jam- they stopped affiliating themselves with us cos of some girl. Immature. None of them are dedicated, but some of those guys were cool as f#ck.
-
Tell them to grow up! lol. Girls are just fish in the sea. But anyways back to what's more important; Ok so two you guys. I am so excited bro, im going out tonight to train!
-
Damn lucky you bro. Its been drizzling all day.
-
I wish I coulda gone...also Danny...idk but we were proposing the other day of a merger between Urban Velocity and Urban Life and then change our names to Kill It With Fire!
-
Do you guys have a pk gym up there?
-
Im down with merging us together!! And yeah I have a pk/gymnastics gym here that I go to!
-
We have to try to go to the gym for one night.
And yea I was just wondering because we always train together. So yea...
-
Yeah im talking to a friend that owns a gym, im seeing if he will let us in his gym friday/saturday night!
-
k good
-
hey guys, two of my friends and i are looking to attend the florida jam. we're all from tampa, but one goes to university of colorado and my training partner and i attend FSU. we're in town for the holidays and i just need more information about the jam, such as what time and where we'd be meeting on the days. thanks guys im really stoked about this, though my wrist needs to hurry up and heal already or else i wont be able to go.
-
It's the 28th and 29th at USF maybe around noon or a bit later...then we might have a night gym jam
and even if ur wrist hurts you can still come out and learn some stuff and try stuff without that wrist
-
where on the usf campus are we meeting and are we meeting there both days? yea i'll probably come regardless of my wrist, though in parkour its difficult to do anything without using your dominant hand. i think it'll be a great learning experience especially since i havent jammed with any truly experienced traceurs/free runners. thanks a lot man.
-
the parking garage by the library...its the fowler entrance
-
Yeah okay so we're gonna go ahead and hit USF both days but dont worry theres TONS to train. Friday night we're gonna try and get a gym jam in.
We meet out front of the parking garage next to student services. Its the last right then the first left at the end of the Fowler main entrance loop.
-
Damn im sitting here reading this and I am getting so damn excited. If you need any info or a place to stay let me know!
email:CrazyRican158@msn.com
Phone: (813) 325-0275 (danny)
-
Oh baby...I need a place to stay
Haha
: ]]
-
Me and my friend trained for like 2 1/2 hours last night at USF! It was fun as hell!
-
Are we gonna train wednesday if it's as cold as it was earlier today?
-
I know for sure that I am going to be there on wednesday. So if you want train then I will be there at like 6:30ish in hte garage!
-
Ok...its just gonna hurt the hands like a bitch...
-
Oh shit whats the weather gonna be like?? Long sleeve shirts?? Jeans?? What do you wear when its cold?
It was cold down here in the morning ( ok yeah 65 isn't that cold w/e) but I wouldnt worn normal gear to pk
Help this asshole who enjoys warm weather all year while everyone else freezes lmao!
-
No i think it might be warm then...but i was asking Danny about this wednesday because this morning it was 39 here in tampa and its gonna be low temperatures all throughout the week...i doubt it'll be too cold during the jam but bring stuff just incase
-
When I trained Sunday night it was cold but then I started training and I ended up in just my cutoff. I was starting to break a sweat. On cold days I usually wear sweat pants, a long sleeved shirt or hoodie!
-
Well now i wear my underarmor...if i need to wear one of those underarmor hoods for my face then i'll wear it...cuz i dont want my face frozen...just...my hands...grr...idk what to do about them
-
You know how the football quarter backs wear the hand warmers, we should get some of those!
-
nope...i just know gloves...i might need to get some...but i doubt i will for tomorrow...but im probably coming in underarmor if its freezing
-
Do what you have to do!
-
Alright, as of right now I'm really not sure. If our relatives decide not to come, then i'll be able to show up for at least one of the days. I really hope I can make it though. This is going to be so much fun.
-
I totally psyched about this even this is Levenex's co founder of MIA PK and we are really juiced to get up there and rock the place
you guys all seem really dope.
cant wait awww dang it not this weekend its next weekend i have to wait
boring !
j/k
well see you guys then
Xeno
-
Nice to have you on the forums...and i cant wait for it either...f#ck YEA!!!
: ]]
-
Yo xeno wat up? Bro I didn't get back to Miami til 830 and it'll prob b the same tmrw Whens the next time ur free
-
Oh sh*t guys I went to the Puma store and got some new shoes. I went out to USF to try them out, and OMG they are amazing can't wait to beat them up some more! By the way I can't wait till the JAM I am soo psyched!!! Oh and Josh/Andrew, last night when I was train the Campus police stopped me and was asking me to do some moves for him, he was pretty informed upon the discipline; I told him about the Jam and he said that we would have no problems with them!
-
Lev i will be free the usual days probably sunday but my bro is coming in friday night
about the pumas what type did you get we were informed that they are pretty dope shoes exept that they usually dont breath very well.
but anything is better than wearing those shoes!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I was going to get these but they didnt have my size! (Word of advice, don't get these, they fall apart)
http://store.puma.com/pumaUSStore/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=PumaUS&category%5Fname=MensCompleteRunningFootwear&product%5Fid=18250301&productType=Footwear&mainCategory=Men&shopBy=style&siteid=1
So I got these instead, which are amazing!
http://store.puma.com/pumaUSStore/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=PumaUS&category%5Fname=MensCompleteRunningFootwear&product%5Fid=18211502&productType=Footwear&mainCategory=Men&shopBy=style&siteid=1
By the way the running puma's all have breathable mesh which feel amazing!
-
I'm going to see if I can come down with Kwazi, though we would need a place to stay for a night...
However at this point it is still tentative...
-
We'll I have room for about four people, so if you need you can stay with me or andrew!
-
Danny...why dont we get as much luck with cops as you...because they were fine with you doing it yesterday...right? Well...they kicked us out last night.
It's mainly cuz the campus was closed and we werent usf students
-
LOL becauase I know how to talk to them, and because I have a USF I.D.; as long as one person is a USF student it's ok, but if nobody's a student it get suspicious! Where were you at when they stopped you?
-
We know how to talk to them too...but yea...we dont. But we were at cooper hall around 8:30...it wasnt long after you left
-
The days need to hurry up and go by!!!!! I want the 28th/29th to come around already!!
-
Yea...f#ck Christmas...lets go do some parkour haha : ]]
-
i know common who care about x-mas whens theres parkour to be had!!!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!
-
Hey xeno... I have a four day weekend... And willing to drive up to Tampa twice... Hahaha and you think I'm joking!!!
-
And if you can't make it I might just go up by... My.... Self....
just to jam at that sick ass college wit these guys.
O ya... And so I can WEAR THOSE SHOES!!!
-
Here is a little present for those that are coming to the Jam, as for the ones that can't make it; then this is a portion of what your missing!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmDLwggrYP8 (Sorry here's the right one!)
-
Danny I commented that video and another one so you best be happy ho. I cant wait for this jam. Im getting a video camera for Christmas so I'll be able to tape the whole thing too. Willl I see you tomorrow at noon?
-
I wish, I have to work at 12:30. But I will definitely be at the Jam!!
-
i think i remember reading that theres a jam every sunday and wednesday at usf, what time do you guys usually meet? my friends and i were thinking of checking out the campus tomorrow and figured we might as well see about meeting up with whoever is going.
-
we normally go wednesday and saturdays...but hmm...i'll see if i can go tomorrow...i'll have to talk to my parents though cuz my mom doesnt want me doing anything so close to christmas...and idk i dont want another run in with campus police...but i'll see
-
cool, i have to work until 3, but i was planning on going around 5 or 5:30. i have a usf ID if that helps with the campus police. if you cant make it then dont worry about it because my wrist is still hurt so ill be trying to hold myself back.
-
yea my parents said i cant go...sorry...but dont worry...just 6 more days till the jam
-
Hey Tom will you be attending the Jam this coming Friday and Saturday? If so, why don't you just wait until then to go, there will be at the least ten people there!
By the way my video at the top of this page shows only 1/8th of the spots we will be hittin!
-
oh, heh, ill definitely be at the jam on friday and saturday. i just havent been able to do any training in a couple weeks due to my wrist injury so i really wanted to check out the campus and do some parkour that ive been missing out on. me and my friends have been looking forward to the jam for some time now. by the way that kong to handstand is sick, how long have you been training, danny?
-
he's only been training for six months...but he's an asshole...isnt that right danny? haha
: ]]
-
Hey Tom I can go and train with you tomorrow if you'd like. 5:00 is fine with me. Give me a call at (813) 892-2057.
-
Hey you guys I may be able to make it tomorrow aswell, I will have to take it easy though because I injured my ankle a little bit and I want to be good for the Jam! But I am down to meet up tomorrow around 5ish! Oh and by the way, yeah im an asshole; thanks Josh!
-
Well idk...but we'd have to leave earlier...like at around 7:30 at the most...but I seemed to change my parents minds...so i might go...i'll let you know tomorrow
-
We'll I just thought you all might like to know that I was offered a part in a music video for a ufc fighter (Doing parkour, not fighting)! They still have to run it by a couple more people, but it is a good possibility that I might be going to Cali to take part in this video. They saw one of my video's and thought I was "amazing", I am real excited!
-
Yep. Totally an asshole.
:D
-
Wait so why am I an asshole this time? The new video or the offer?
-
Because you got the video offer, we love UFC and
you are so wearing those shoes
(http://www.reactorstudio.com/uploaded_images/Picture-2-789823.png)
-
no its actually just cuz your an asshole all around
-
I am so sorry! I am actually getting scared that one day you guys will get so mad at me that you will just so happen to push me off a ledge or something! Not cool!!! LOL
-
we're not mad at you...your just an asshole
-
Wow thats really cool you asshole. Are we still going today around 5:00?
-
Yea...we are...i cant wait...i want to do some practicing...but can someone bring ductape?
-
Yah I got a roll of duct tape so I'll bring it. See you guys there at 5:00.
-
k good...see you there
-
What's the Duct Tape for?
-
For me and you baby...haha...no...its to practice underbars
-
Oh true, By the way Tom it was good meeting you today, can't wait for friday/saturday to come; I forgot what's christmas again?
-
Its that thing standing between us and the jam.
-
I think so...idk...
-
Oh yeah, I say we should cancel christmas and make like a national Jam in Florida because we have the best weather this time a year!
-
yea haha
-
I'm going to be in Boca Raton on vacation during that time (I'm from Mass.)... is that anywhere near where this is going down? Heh... I'll probably show up anyway even if it's not, I've been aching to do some parkour.
Also, which USF campus are you talking about?
-
It's the one in Tampa, Florida...which is not near Boca Raton. If you can make it up here thatd be great though : ]]
-
Hey people I finally made an account here I talk to SofakingJack alot about parkour and all and missed that last meetup I wished I could of gone to sadly... Anyway my name is Chris and im hoping we can do more meetups in the future and if anyone needs my number email yours and I will get back to you my email is : I heading to an anime convention this month which is animesouth it is up in Destin Beach FL so if anyone lives near there and want to hangout let me know!
-
yea, it was good meeting you guys yesterday. the faster christmas passes the faster the jam will come. oh man, less than a week away. oh and boca raton is on the east coast of florida whereas tampa is on the west coast, but if you can make it then you definitely should come...it'll be worth it.
-
Hey Chris will you be attending the Jam this Friday/Saturday? Believe me guys this Jam is going to be great!
-
This friday/saturday damn! Again I will be missing such a wonderful event because the covention is this weekend... Do keep me updated tho because after this convention I will be attending to any events after that.
-
Damn bro your missing a real good one at that! But I am glad your on the forum's now! WELCOME!
-
I know man I really dont want to miss it but this convention was planned way back so I can't say no to my friends now... Also im in Deltona right now in my girlfriends parents house spending a small christmas vacation here but im starting to get bored :-[ . Anyways thanks for the welcome so does anyone have aim or anything of the sort?

Ok I added you on aim so whenever you decide to sign on I will most likely be on
-
Ok sounds good!
-
Well if I do show up it'll probably be at USF on Saturday. When were you guys planning on meeting/starting?
Also, I'm a fairly novice traceur, so a lot of what I'll be doing is staring in awe.
-
Nonsense! We're teachers at heart.
ANYWAYS Heres the Rundown of the info you'll need:
- We're meeting at USF TAMPA (4202 E. Fowler Ave, Tampa, Fl 33620)
- At the plaza between the Student Services Building and the Parking Garage (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/parking_services/maps/visitor_map_aug_01_2007.pdf (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/parking_services/maps/visitor_map_aug_01_2007.pdf) Campus Map)
- Its the last left on the MAIN Fowler Street Entrance loop and then an imediate right into the parking garage
- Friday we're meeting at 1 PM
- Saturday we'll meet the same place at noon
If you need to crash at my place PM ME FOR MY ADRESS!
If you need ANY extra information call me at ANYTIME, if you dont get me leave a message and i'll get back to you. My number is 727.247.9809
THANKS ALOT! And we'll see you all there.
-
I also want everybody to know that a Jam is not about showing off, it is about sharing your love for parkour with others! Just because somebody can do something doesn't mean you can do it, or try it! Stay within your abilities/boundaries!
By the way: who will all be staying at my house?
-
Hey Dante, if you can drive down to Miami (20-30 miles) we'll take you with us up to Tampa. Our schedule is leave Miami fri afternoon, and stay til sun night
Danny, I got me and my bro for sure heading up, if u can post us up it would be really apprieciated :)
-
Yeah I can do that! Can you guys leave Friday morning?
-
No I work friday
Hey by the way everybody..
Merry Xmas!!
and happy holidays!
-
Levenex, that sounds pretty good actually. I'd probably be able to get a ride to/from Miami. Would I be able to stay where you guys are staying?
-
I'm sure danny won't mind an extra but ask his permission
If worst comes to worst, we'll drive up to get u- ur not TOO far from i75 which we r planning to take up to Tampa.
This jam is going to be sick and any help I can give towards it for anyone I'll gladly do my best!
-
Another person in my house!!! Oh shit, slumber party at my house!! LOL I'm just kidding, I don't care come on over!!! Lev, is right this jam is going to be sick, you shouldn't miss it!
-
Alrighty! This entire thing is sounding obscenely awesome and I just couldn't let myself miss out on it. I have a funky actin' right leg right now but it isn't going to stop me from getting there this weekend. I'm from down near Miami but I'm in Orlando right now visiting a friend. Is there some sort of procedure we have to go through to get a place to sleep at during the night that doesn't consist snuggling with bears?
Luff,
Jason
-

Hey josh you know the girl I brought to the parkour jam, we'll we broke up last month too (2 years down the drain)!
-
Hey guys sorry I haven't been posting but anyways I got a new video camera with a tripod. Should I bring the tripod or do you think it would be too much of a hassle to carry around? I'm so excited about this jam. It's gonna be amazing. Can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow!
-
Derek, I'm trying to figure out a good place that you can pick me up that won't be far out of your way. I'm thinking somewhere around where the sawgrass hits 75, any ideas?
-
Yeah bring the tripod, it wont be that much of a hassle to carry!
-

Hey Drew. Just wondering if you're going to the Gainesville jam on the 21st and 22nd of February? Also, I'm pretty sure I can make it to UCF on the 7th.
-
last 2 saturdays of the month most likely not... or at least till later in the day. sundays for sure.
-
The 7th, huh? Sounds good! As for Gainesville, I'll have to see what my schedule is like, but I expect I'll be able to make it.
Where are these things being discussed, by the way? There was apparently a gathering on the 4th that I knew nothing about, and I totally would've been down for that.
-
Drew said he was going to bring us up to Orlando a few posts back. I was surprised when you weren't there on the 4th. I thought JC had informed everyone about the jam. Not trying to blame him or anything, just saying.
-

February the seventh sounds good Drew, concerning the conversation with Chris and Graham I did tell Graham but he said he was busy last I recall. Either that or I mistuke him for the other ten guys who said they were busy that day. :-\
If so I'm at fault but we can make up for that on the seventh Graham ;D

Jan 1st I wasn't able to go because it was New Years and I had family stuff, and Jan 10th I wasn't able to make because I was out of town and had other plans, I guess Jan 4th just kinda slipped by without me.
No biggie though! The last few weeks have been pretty busy, parkour-wise, so it was an easy mistake to make. I'll see you all on the 7th!
