Virginia Open 2008?

[StachuK1992]

i might buy 1 or 2

 

[alexc]

I am going to save up and buy about 6 of these:

This way I can help other east coast people that are in need of timers.

Cool! An inexpensive display! I could ask for one for my birthday, (10/28) and if I'm coming to your comp, I could bring it, so you could have as many timers as possible to keep the competition on schedule.

But, I'm still not sure whether I could come or not. It's a long drive, (Almost 5 hours not counting traffic.) and even if I left directly after school, (~3:30 I could be on the way.) I would be arriving at ~8:30. Leaving the comp will also bring me home late. (Leave ~5:30 and get back ~10:30) It's doable, of course, but I'm not sure my Mom would be happy driving 5 hours each on two consecutive days.

it would be 4 hours for me, and i would skip school for it
I am definitely going!!!

alex, do you need a ride?

Well, I'm definitely not sure whether I'll be able to make it. The date of the comp is too far away to tell right now. I'll talk to my parents and find out whether I'll be able to go first of all. 99% chance that if I'm able to go, my parents would be able to get me there. But thanks for the offer anyway.

 

[StachuK1992]

yeah...just e-mail if u need a ride...my dad says he would take me

Stay another day, enjoy the site.
Williamsburg is a very historical area.

[Lotsofsloths]

Pamplin park is like an hour away from Williamsburg.
I am talking about Jamestown,. Yorktown, colonial williamsburg.(historic triangle)

I'll link you to some close hotels when I get the chance.

I was wondering is it necessary to have stack MATS, like the foamy stuff?


------


As for a motel: DO NOT RESERVE OR BUY A ROOM UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS ON THE WCA WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!
http://reservations.hotel-guides.us/hotel/10006044-10198477O.html

That hotel is 1.2 miles away from the venue.

And the venue is APPROXIMATELY 612 Landrum Lane, Williamsburg, VA 23185.
I say approximately because I'm not sure of the actual address(I found the 612 using google maps), I will post it on Monday, along with some inside pictures.


If you goto google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps
and search: 612 Landrum Dr, Williamsburg, VA 23185
and click the street view option, you can see the Building(its called ISC1: Integrated Science Center One) its still in construction in that picture, but that was a couple months ago, now its nice and new.

and here are the directions from the Motel to the Venue:

Driving directions to 612 Landrum Dr, Williamsburg, VA 23185
1.2 mi – about 3 mins

902 Richmond Rd
Williamsburg, VA 23185

1. Head southeast on Richmond Rd toward Wythe Ave ----0.8 mi
2. Turn right at S Boundary St ----92 ft
3. Turn right at Jamestown Rd/VA-5 ----0.2 mi
4. Turn right at Landrum Dr ----0.2 mi

Ok, but do you NEED them, like is it WCA necessary?
how many stackpods do you have?

I think that you just need the timers...nothing about mats in rules
I have no stackpods as of now, but I will definitely be able to bring 1 and have a chance of bringing more(up to 3 or 4) depending on if other kids(in my school) get them

So, as of now, I can bring 2 timers w/ full-size mats, and will be able to bring 1 stackpod

Hey can you make it Richmond? that just seems more central and it works well for events.

 

[StachuK1992]

--->kratos
the location is final

--->Daniel
OK...I will get as many as possible, but am only buying one (stackpod) for myself

Ok, well I just need to know how many to buy.

Weekends are better for people.
On a friday people might have to goto work.

I could bring 1 mat, but no timer.
