| JO Party!
Well, who else is gonna be there, and when?
I'll be heading down Sunday night (my birthday!) and am fencing U20 ME on Monday. If you see a guy in an Estoc jacket with a Prise de Fer patch, say hi! | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

| There's an unusually large numbers of parties planned and announced at this event.. including one to be thrown by the LOC at the end for anyone and everyone who helped make it happen. There is, of course, the newly established tradtional car bomb fest to be continued for the grown-ups.

The same folks who might normally be preparing for the following day's competition at any other national event get to be "spectators" at the JO's. Coaching their younger team members and such.
Other than their primary duties during the event, they don't have the usual sense of responsiblity because they don't need to wake up early next morning, or be in the top competition shape.
Also the days don't seem as long as the JO's, than say, Div I NAC. Longer off-duty hours per day, more energy.

-B | you're gonna say hi when you see a near equivalent to telk? well, that'll be nice, but I think he'd prolly appreciate it if that didn't substitute for actually saying hi to him...

-m | unless i find a prise patch, put it on my jacket, and then somehow convince people i'm male.
on second thought, i really don't know why i would be wearing my jacket.
but i suppose that no reason at all is a good enough reason..........

| If you see a guy in an Allstar jacket that says "Oliverius" on the back. Please beat him up and take the jacket, because I'm not sure what it would be doing all the way at the JO's.
P.S.: Mailing it back would be sweet too.
