What's the easiest way to get from Sea-Tac to Van? Looks like flying in there is about half as much.

Zack, lets talk this weekend when I'm in DC. I could maybe give you a ride. There's also a ferry that I think is about $80.

There should be a bunch of Seattle making the trek up there so we might be able to squish you in which is cheapest, but you will need to keep reminding us cause we aren't super organized about traveling. There is also a train that runs up there, but I don't know the cost. Ferry isn't a realistic option unless you want to go into Victoria and hitch a ride with them.

take the train. most awesome way to go its $55 one way and you can reserve a hook in the baggage car so your bike doesn't need to be boxed up, ride it in and hang it up. its downtown to downtown. so easy and there is a bar car too. one other benefit is the gorgeous views of cascadia.

Update: we will be rolling through Seattle very early Friday morning to make it for dirty 3some. Will have room for one person and more bikes. Give me a call as late a 4:22am Friday if you need a ride from Seattle.

Hey Kids! For those of you traveling early, East Van will be throwing a small, co-ed tournament on the Friday before the crown! Similar set up to the ladies army this year: morning seeding rounds (approx 4 games per team) followed by an afternoon double elim. There will be a 16 team cap to make this feasible. Mandatory one member of the opposite sex on each team (cross-dressing is encouraged boys, but it does not make you a lady- or vice versa). Please e-mail me if you are interested in participating, a separate thread under the "tournaments" section will be created this week.

Thanks!

So, it looks like I'm going. Probably flying into Seattle with "drizz," on either Wednesday or Thursday morning and flying out either Monday or Tuesday.

What's the story on a place to stay in Seattle, a ride up to EV and a ride back... and and and and and COOK ME DINNER!? I'm a wonderful house guest and always pay my fair share of gas. I've hosted hundreds of people on CouchSurfing so I know about being a good guest. "drizz" is OK, too... we just can't let him get all zooted out before a long car ride, or he'll pass out, piss himself and your car... I'll take personal responsibility for making sure that doesn't happen, though... promise.

skytrain it joker, it's even faster than driving. seriously, you'll spend more time meeting up with a driver than getting onto the skytrain. think free carts, free wi-fi, and trains every five minutes. twenty minutes to commercial drive, we can meet you there or it's a two minute ride to the court..

Hi Kids! I'm Shannon, which means I'm the one in charge of housing for this nonsense.

In the meantime, if you need housing for the crown, and you haven't already been in specific contact with your favourite east van player to cuddle with, e-mail me! stormfin@gmail.com and let me know your housing requirements.

Assuming we can't get a ride from anyone in Seattle, what's the second best way to get up to EV? I looked into a couple buses (QuickCoach) and they want another $25 each way (on top of a $75r/t) to take the bike and it has to be boxed. Amtrak has some weird schedule that looks like it's only twice a day. If there any other public transport options I'm missing, clue me in please.

One week left! Some information:

This tournament is not capped... we will not turn anyone away!
Registration will be in person, friday at the courts until 5 pm, or saturday from 9:00 am to 10:00 am STRICT. We have limited daylight hours and we need to make the most of them, so you MUST be on time. Registration is $15/ person, and the first 100 people to register get special registration packages! There will be a party friday night, those that roll in late can rendezvous there. We have created a map that should meet most of your needs:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&z=16&msid=11371189997...

I have not annotated everything, but it should be fairly obvious from the map that your best options for food etc. will be along Hastings st. and along Commercial dr. There will be food and hopefully coffee at the courts.

Thanks! See you all soon!

Citizens of the United States of America you have a 24 beer quota coming into Canada without paying duty. PBR in America is half the price of the price of PBR in Vancouver. So bring your quota from a duty free unless you want to pay out the ass for our beer.

Registration ends at 10 am Saturday. Looking like PNW fall weather so bring along a rain jacket. Lastly, sleeping bags and pads are a good idea given the number of people coming.

Thanks to everyone who travelled, it was so great to come home from Europe and just see everyone the next day. I felt like I was on polo tour in my own city but didn't have to sleep on a couch.

Make sure you let DanielNOLA stay at your place he is the best house guest ever.

East Van you are amazing as usual, what a great job you did welcoming the world to your courts, your couches, and your over-priced beers.

Thanks Rory, Justin, Chris, Seabass, Juilan, and Dusty for putting on the best double beer-point final we've seen in a long time, it was polo at it's finest.

Thank-you polo gods for holding off all weekend and then pouring rain on Monday.

x2 on the most exciting double final. East Van down 0-4 in the first final. Battle back to win it (and the hearts of the crowd) 5-4. Second final East Van gets two (that's 7 UNANSWERED!!!) goals before Seattle starts to make a game of it. We go to a second beer point game and Julian taps it in after a positional opening was created. SO MANY FAT GOALS YOU ALL! Justin, East Van, you are the true MVP. My heart is still racing!

Excluding border troubles, the weekend was amazing – tarps and good food were abundant, friends new and old in attendance, and world-class polo finals kept EVERYBODY on the edge of their seats. It looked like anybody's game for a bit but Seattle pulled through to finish it off with one small tap from Julian...and the crowd explodes! Thanks to East Van for all the hard work – you guys rocked it – and thank you to my teammates Leslie & Agata, Greg & Suzie – pleasure playing with y'all! Congrats Julian, Dusty, Seabass, knew you had it in you. Can't wait till next year!

A HUGE thanks to my amazing teammates, Eric and Jason, and to our coach, Drew. And to James for the hospitality. And to Slocan Family Restaurant for the Monte Cristo. And to Andre for winning Knife Fights in underwear and bare feet in the rain.

I also want to say how awesome it was to get fourth as a Co-Ed team. It's really exciting for me to see all the amazing ladies rising up the ranks of the tournament standings - just watching the 2-Oh-Chicks was an inspiration. I couldn't be prouder to follow in the distant footsteps of Jen from Ottawa and Amandaconda and the more recent footsteps of Birdie, Maija, and Leslie. Keep it up, ladies!

X 3 Cecily and Jas' comments re co-ed teams; Cec way to keep it real on the podium challenge! NEVER RETIRE!

And it's true, 2-0-Chicks played like crazy out there- and big ups to the coed Denver team too...

And to everyone else at night courts, soaking wet steamy polo houses, side-by-each welcoming party at Cara's, sushi with a thousand loud people and Wheatie to top them all, Tobias the mechanic (little known fact: he volunteered his time on Sunday), Timtim with the whiskey threats, Cascadia rolling deep and people coming from all over the map. East Van keeping it so real coming back from a 4-0 and the seemingly obligatory BEST FINAL EVER... the Dusty to Julian's rear-wheel tailwhip bounce pass; Justin pulling out crazy low-angle shots on Seabass, Dusty's application for a patent on that J-hook upcourt pass, etched in my memory forever. hot shit.

Thank you to the Seattle heads for hooking us up tight with rides, couches, breakfasts, cycle tours, pickup, hot showers, laundry, tools, directions, jokes and laughs (the two most important things). You guys are an ill bunch, stay what you are. Any of you are welcome down here anytime, I'll return all hospitality provided to us in-kind. You always have a hot meal and a bed in New Orleans.

3. West Coast - Martin, Joker, Evan
4. Portland - Eric, Jason, Cecily/Drew
5. Seattle/London - Rowdy, Andre, Ali
6. Portland/East Van - Kenichi, Timtim, Max?

Somewhere in there things start getting tied and I'm not sure who came from which path to get where. I think Kenichi/Timtim/Max beat Bob/Tom/Bottles to get where they are. I think you guys and BP Bloodspill should be in there...man, this gets confusing fast.

I'll be in Seattle in a month if anyone there wants me to bring them one, and I'll be in Victoria in a couple months. I can also send you one if you wish. They cost $20 and have have the tournament poster printed large on the front for anyone who hasn't seen them. You can email me; ken_regehr 'at' hotmail.com. I

East Van Thank You. This tourney and your city blew my mind. Luv the 2 tournament weekend, and all the fun times surrounding it. East Van is the land of plenty of courts, and the Knife Fight court is a special place. I'll never forget Stanley Park either. Although I was put off by the higher beer prices at first, Martin's delicious homebrew more than made up for that. And that Mexican food spot, Bandidas that was great too.

Congratulations Dusty, Seabass, and Julian but that also goes out to Rory, Chris and Justin MVP. That final was one for the ages, certainly the best one I've ever witnessed. Also thanks to Martin and Evan, I'd go to war with you two anytime... Thanks to Tim and Shannon for all your hard work, and Piet for calling the games.

Epic Epic Epic Props to: Shannon for throwing the Threesome, E.Van and Piet for the excellent Crown tournament (it was my first, it won't be my last), Meg and Ali for letting us have the comfort of your chill apartment and for being so freaking awesome. First time in my life I've met an australian who says "eh" more than the canadians... All of the people I've met who enjoyed watching Denver play; thanks for all of your compliments and advice. we've changed our game so much in the last year of playing and have so much more to do in the next year. My goal for 2011 is to get my first first place...

Epic Epic props to: E.Van's 2nd place team and Seattle's 1st Place team (and vice versa for the Threesome) for the best finals I've ever been to at the crown and a very close finals in the threesome. Way climatic, way better than anything I've ever been to this year. Dusty gets huge props for being a flying bolt of lightning and Rory for being the most unstoppable force I've seen in polo.ever.seriously.ever.

Epic props to: The seattle guys. you know who you are. Everyone who I got to meet but didn't do so well at remembering your names (I had so much cannabis in canada that my mental facilities were wayyyyy behind in the name remembering department) please forgive me and find me on facebook and add me. I promise I'll remember you next time. But Mike, Cody, Seabass, David, et.al were so fun to play with in Seattle it was the highlight of the trip.

Yeah Daniel, I know you're reading this, waiting for me to bust a bad joke or make an insinuating comment about you in some way but seriously, you NOLA guys are super fucking awesome to play with and I have nothing but LOVE for you all and I seriously am looking forward to the next chance we get to hang out and play. south central represent

add me on the book face (www.facebook.com/maxcosmo)

addenum: OLY POLO, You challenged Denver to a match that will occur in the foreseeable future. Sometime, somewhere. Maybe NA's next year? Don't forget, keep your head up, and get ready for the bone crushing match of the century. Find us!
