Actually we did go way over the cap, in order to accommodate the significant number of teams who pledged to attend before this was even posted, as well as the greater-than-expected number of local teams. So, now we are building or renting a second court. I was hoping to announce this a little later when I would have more details for everyone.

Burbank is a fun airport to fly into, it's either that or LAX.
LAX tends to be cheaper, but it's a nasty airport. I'm assuming I'll be doing a good portion of the pick up/drop off again, and the airports are equidistant from my house, so whatever works best.

Any of you Socal types know of any interesting farm/food type things happening in and around this time? I'll be in the area until the Wednesday and am trying to hit up anything else going on... I'm talking Backwards-Beekeepers, farmlab, apocalyptic scenes of the city bulldozing community gardens... no wait scratch that last one.

mmmm korean bbq... I had some yesterday here in Denver but when I get to hollywood I will definitely need to find that. the LA Bike Polo web page has some information up for this thread as well as a link to the hockey courts, bike shops and various houses. Thought I'd point that out, but if you guys can give an address/link to the korean bbq that would be much excellent. just the thought of it keeps me warm in the snow and ice...

.edit. a link copy to the excellent map put up on labikepolo web page: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=1023034162283938...

Thanks for posting up the link, I kept forgetting to do that. We're going to make an effort to print out that map and have it available to the out-of-towners so you can find your way around the Valley.

As far as Korean BBQ goes, there's a fusion taco truck that most people here are raving about. You can check it out here: http://kogibbq.com/. I'll post up other recommendations as I get them.

So stoked on this!!

And, everyone going to this tourney owes L.A. Bike Polo - and primarily Alex - a big thanks for all of the work they have done accommodating all of our requests and setting up what promises to be an epic and smoothly run tourney. You won't find a city that will go to the lengths to assist polistas as Los Angeles. Thank you mother fuckers. Thank you...

Hey everybody. Thank You all for coming out to L.A. What I need now is one member only of each team to select a captain and please email me the following info. Seriously, just one of the three of you. This info is very important, if we don't have it, it may dilute the overall Poloxperience we intend to provide.

1. Team Name, Roster and City(s) and everyone's phone number and email.

2. If yer flying in, what time each of yer team members arrive, and departs, and if yer flying in or out of LAX or Burbank.

3. T-shirt size if u are pre-ordering the shirts. The design is on the flyer at the top.

4. If you are vegan or vegetarian.

5. Any other questions or concerns...

For the people who will be staying in hotels we have a few cheap ones that are bikable to the courts, even on a Polo gear. Some even have hourly rates. I will make a post regarding this shortly.

I'm gonna go ahead and expand #4 to include ANY dietary restrictions- we don't want to leave out severe allergies, since it would suck to have that be an issue if it's avoidable.
&& Thanks for remembering that, it's definitely important that we get the food info ASAP, since we're going to be buying the food very soon.

Are any of the teams flying in (those we've promised housing) used to tiptoeing around small children? We have a spot that can house one team, but only if they're willing to be COMPLETELY SILENT between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
If so, please email me- danya717 (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Hi all,

In efforts to streamline coordination, if anyone else needs to ship a bike they can also send it to my home, which is but a mile from our prestigious rink. To save you the time from getting Joker's address, here's mine.

5311 Corteen Place, #4

UPDATE: IF you are flying in, your housing is covered. The specifics will be released soon via email.

As promised, here is a list of Flophouses in the immediate area. They are cheap by LA standards, and close enough to the courts to ride to, even on a polo gear.

The first 4 are definitely the cheapest, and don't take reservations. They quoted me $50-$75 a nite for 1 or 2 beds. The first one had a discount for a 3 nite stay. I'm pretty sure you won't need reservations at any of these places.

Econo Inn
10750 Magnolia Blvd.
North Hollywood, CA 91606
(818) 769-8432

Flamingo Motel
6105 Lankershim Blvd.
North Hollywood, CA 91606
No Phone number there they say.

Ritz Motel
6021 Lankershim Blvd.
North Hollywood, CA 91606
(818) 769-7520

Silver Saddle Motel
6235 Lankershim Blvd.
North Hollywood, CA 91606
(818) 766-5285

This one is definitely the nicest, with an Indoor pool and free continental breakfast & WiFi:

Comfort Inn & Suite

A tourney in the heart of Los Goddamn Angeles, in January. And you'll be there, playing polo with the best of 'em.
