2 days to get music uploaded.  How does one pick?  Trying to throw whilst listening, I find distracting.  So I am practicing this.  Q: what tricks do you do 40 min after sunset to practice for the worlds?

Thanks for the link, Neff. I hadn't realized that I had started two different "worlds" preparation threads.  :-[ I have now merged them into one.

Last minute news: we have one Mexican player confirmed!  :) Another is possible. The Colombians are still trying.

PS: I am finally back home from the north (30 degrees F difference). But I have lots of stuff to catch up :(

Last time I went to upload my music there was no category for the top contest, so I figured I'd just bring it with me. Now there is a category for us, but I'm on the road and won't make the deadline. Hopefully it will still work when I get home.

Cleveland is getting ready to host lost of Republicans for the GOP national convention and articles in the paper are showing up about the city.  Here are a few places in town that are highlighted in a recent paper: The Millard Fillmore (which is a bar themed as a joke to that president who is not from Cleveland), the West Side market (illustrates the city's proud ethnic heritage and melting-pot culture), the glittering Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum (housed in a glass pyramid), the Cleveland History Center (artifacts ranging from campaign buttons to inaugural gowns) and even the Happy Dog (with all kinds of hot dog toppings including SpaghettiOs).  James Garfield IS from Cleveland and there is a memorial to him and other items nearby (he was the last President born in a log cabin and that is a few miles away).

Of course, there are plenty of places where sports teams play like the Indians (Progressive Field), the champion Cavaliers (Quicken Loans Arena) and the Browns (First Energy Stadium).  Cleveland also has a Museum of Art, a Museum of Natural History, a nice public library and even a casino.  There is lake front action (like a submarine memorial) and an area of town called historic little Italy.  Hope this helps a bit!!!

(ha ha - I just found out they have a Chipotle restaurant very near the Renaissance Hotel.  I know where I will be eating!!!)

And I CAN'T WAIT to eat at Chipotle with MarkHayward again.  Seems like we should be able to get a deal with them.  If the event were around my neck of the woods they would give us a nice group discount.  Maybe we can pull something off up there in Cleveland and have a nice top spinning lunch or dinner for our group of spinners?

Why I am not surprised? It seems that they want to keep the spintop competition a secret!   :P ::)

I know for sure of 5 from the USA, 3 from Japan and 1 from Mexico.
I hope to hear from another Mexican today. The Colombians (several) STILL trying.
