| not shockingly, I am. 
At nationals, I also heard some of the Westbrook guys talking about coming up for it.
I'd imagine, though, that you're not going to get a great response to this thread, since there are ~30 people who are likely to come to the tournament, but probably aren't monitoring fencing.net, since they're at the camp PdF is hosting all week.

Camp attendance is also much closer to 20 than 30.

Even with the A's, B's, C's...D's...E's...ok, forget I ever said I'd do well.

Given the low response rate from people at the camp (2 of over 20), I'd say I'm on fairly solid ground saying probably.
btw, you never said whether or not you're going to the tournament.

| The tournament definitely is appealing, though the long drive and gas prices are making so there's probably only a 50/50 chance I'll go. | |

| Don't know if it will influence people to come or not... but you should know that the club is air conditioned... so it will be nice and cool in there... just FYI.

Over 20 might be a stretch as well. We hit a peak of 21 today including you and Daria (and Peach who will be with us for the remainder of the week). The first two days we were at either 18 or 19 depending on which day, and when during the day. Quote: |

But... I don't have a car... I don't live anywhere near there...
Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?

| Can anyone provide directions for coming from Western Massachusetts--the stuff on the website just gives from Boston or from North. | |

I'd imagine that the directions from the North overlap with the directions I've posted above, but not having paid attention to them I can't say for sure.

| Mmmm. Actually, from 495N you can just take exit 37 like the directions say for coming down 495S and continue with those directions.
edited to add: it also depends where in WMa you're coming from... if it's Amherst area, Rt 2 makes sense, if it's Northampton side of the river, I'd choose 91 to the Pike to 495. | |
