MASA,

This post is to inform all of you about the upcoming second annual Weight City Highland Games and Pool Festival. This year we are going to be something fairly similar to what we did last yr in terms of limiting it to an open competition (primarily b/c of staff and a $0 budget) and volunteer judges staff. We are looking at 16 competitors with 8 of them being A's and 8 being B's and teaming an A with a B for 8 total teams. We will also be grilling lunch and after games dinner as we did last yr and I can probably get a keg for the aftergames celebration if enough people are interested. We will have to charge something around 15-20 bucks per head in order to cover all the folks' gas and the food and the special prizes that await the winner of Weight City.

Expect the registration to open tomorrow and give me a call with any questions, 240-731-8696, or jcollins@aerotek.com.

MASA,

I forgot some of the more important details. For those of you who did not come last year, Weight City if held at my folks' place:

13030 Prices Distillery Rd, Clarksburg, MD 20871

Start time is 9am, EST, and the date is Saturday, August 16th. Hopefully someone will bring a tent or two to fight off the sun. We have a large field to throw into, we might be getting a bonfire going after the games and we do have a pool for any small kids or big kids that might want to play in it.

Any other questions please contact me.

Thanks,
John

Do we get to pick teammates?? If so, will you be my A?

I guess I better make sure to get registered before I start trying to finagle my teammate.

If noone picks me, can I still throw? If not, can I just hang in the pool and tap the keg?

Will there be kosher hot dogs?

What about swimsuits? Will they be required?

MASA,

Late note on a forgotton detail for Weight City. The games will still be the A and B teammate open men's competition that was mentioned previous, but we will also try and accomodate a exhibition women's class. This will be for any women that are interested and depending on the interest we can spawn we might be able to work that into the team arrangement, but until we can see what the interest is it will just be a separate exhibition group that will throw with everyone else.

Please call me with any questions.

Thanks,
John

and yes McD, of course I can be your teammate. Clarksburg beware, b/c there hasn;t been a duo like that since the Big Mac and large fry combo meal.

Registration is open!

registered! booyah!

I want John as my teammate! I want John as my teammate!

I'll take Frank! The Marines have landed!

I have one recommendation about having a partner...

JC, if we have sheaf, you may want to rethink the whole " I want Dickens as a partner" thing...

Hahahahahahaha!

P.S. Where's my sammich, Dickens?

Although it was nice having JC drag me along for a team O victory last year, I'm open for anyone. Might have to do the pool this year though. John said only two of us at a time in the pool, his parents are afraid of the water bill to bring it back up to full.

haha, nice one BJ. Keep up the good work, big fella. Good practice yesterday. I am expecting some PR's up as Glasgowlands.

Thanks mike...I think...not sure how i feel about this reverse psychlogy charades...

though I am happy to say that there is NO HWFD this weekend at Glasgowlands!

I know you are all jealous, but I will be competing in Ohio at the Lexington Blueberry Festival. I had a great time last year. Thanks again to Clan Collins for hosting. There is always next year.

I'm off to Glasgow Lands tomorrow. BJ and Bryan, see ya there.
