Thanks for NAUCC 2003!
Everybody that I talked with there at the NAUCC had a wonderful time. Wonderful!!!! I'm still exhausted from the week of non-stop uni action. I never imagined how much fun and how much I would learn in such a short time. One thing was certainly affirmed, unicycle folks are awesome! I enjoyed meeting new folks and finally meeting my e-friends that I've made over the last year. A special thank you to all who came and all who made this uni-party happen.

Hey, Tommy, Tom Daniels just gave you a list of all the shoes you'll have to fill for the 2004 NAUCC.... -Christopher -- rhysling - Pontificating Vigilantly There is no substitute for falling down, and no instructor quite as thorough as pain. "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to passover me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhysling's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/411 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27102 |

Thanks for NAUCC 2003!
Well, since I was the first back I should have posted a Thank You thread. John did a much better job than I could have ever done. I want to also say Thank You to all of you that helped to make the 2003 NAUCC such a great time for even a begginer like me. I was a lost sole wondering in on Thursday morning and have to say I really had a great time and found everything to be very well organized. I am originally from MN and have to say that coming home to such a great event hosted by such giving people was an incredible experience. Love Minn/St Paul. If it wasn't so cold half the year I'd move back. I would also like to say thanks to all the people that jumped in and helped my wife as she was learning how to ride while I occupied my 2 1/2 year old daughter. I really like Unicycling People. Just good to be around... I look forward to hearing the announcement from the Memphis Club on the dates for the 2004 convention in Memphis(or is this just wishful thinking?) -- bugman - Equilibrium Challenged "Trying to maintain balance by wild arm and body motions is something like trying to balance a wet noodle" Jack Wiley _The_Unicycle_Book_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bugman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3812 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27102 |

Bugman, The location for NAUCC 2004 is wide open. We do not have any offers from prospective hosts on the table at this time. Wood One Wheelers (WOW) offered to host in Bowling Green, OH but they could only get the facilities at a time that completely conflicted with UNICON 12 (July 23 - August 2, 2004). The USA is, therefore, considering organizing NAUCC 2004. Several individuals and groups I spoke with at NAUCC 2003 are currently investigating potential venues. One advantage of our situation is that we can look at potential locations independent of those areas that have a large club. Individuals and / or groups with specific ideas (and, preferably, specific information on availability and costs of venues) are encouraged to contact me as soon as possible. Wath this forum, the USA Web site and future issues of On One Wheel for more information on NAUCC 2004.

Thanks for NAUCC 2003!
Thanks for the memories. Thanks to Gus for the spare spokes. I torqued Blueshift so hard in the 10k that I broke one. Gus had me hooked up the next day. There were alot of things that ran smoothly with limited funds. Minneapolis people power filled in the gaps. Thanks to an endless list of contributors from only one of a larger list of benefactors.

Thanks for NAUCC 2003!
As always, the NAUCC experience was fun, heart warming and empowered us to grow and rise to a new level in skill and as an individual. Connie, Cathy, and all of those who contributed to organizing this wonderful experience for all of us deserve our heart-felt thanks, accolades, and best wishes. Connie and TCUC, you have always been Panther Prides' inspiration, mentors and guiding light. Thank you for all that you have done, over a period of many years, for the unicycling community.

Thanks for NAUCC 2003!
We had an absolutely wonderful time the entire week of NAUCC. I'm sure there were hiccups along the way but only from the perspective of the organizers. From our perspective, it was extremely well organized and a lot of fun. Our fun started during the trip up to Minneapolis. As our home was only three miles off the Drummond's trip route, John and Amy and family stopped in for a respite, then we all caravaned up together. Our cars and campers were all painted up with our destinations and intentions which opened up quite a few conversation opportunities with other travelers during our pit stops. When we arrived in Minny, we parted ways with the Drummonds and headed for the "Unknown Campground" (Lowry Grove RV Park). The campground was only 10 minutes north of Augsburg but no native Minnyites seemed to have heard of it. (It's on the corner of Stinson and Lowry behind Bremer Bank, guys). Both Augsburg and St. Thomas were beautiful facilities. Knowing how difficult and expensive it is to land facilities, thanks to TCUC for the great venue sites! Many more thanks to the crew for choosing two sites within reach of a Starbucks. I know that was the first priority in choosing the sites. It was so great to see everyone again on Wednesday night. I heard more than once during the week that these conventions are more like family reunions than a convention. Now that this is our second convention, I wholeheartedly agree! I especially enjoyed putting faces with newsgroup names...Lewis, Chris, and Tommy, Steve DeKoekKoek, Nikki and so many others. It was as if we'd first met long ago and were just getting together again for another round of fun. The downspot of the week though was Bill Gilbertson's garage fire. Our hearts and our prayers went out for Bill and his loss. We enjoyed the parade and weather in Centerville immensely. It was an honor to ride with the independant group IN BACK OF THE WHITE VAN. Let's just say that this unkempt group was "entertaining". Also, thanks to Jerry Gruss for my pre-parade ride on his Penny-Farthing. And then for the off road time in the woods...I rode in my first Muni event to the delight of my wife and the chagrin of my body. Thanks to my riding mates, Reed and Keith, for the challenge of just keeping up. I managed to finish! I actually thought I had finished last but found that I had vanquished two 6 year old girls who had briefly become lost in the woods. That brought back some of the competitive fire in me knowing that I actually had beaten two superior riders. Another great time was the uphill and downhill slalom. We loved the downhill wipeouts that almost put NASCAR to shame. But the best for Mom and Dad, though, was watching Ben power all the way up the hill for both of his official uphill runs. Way to go, Legs! Again, the track and field venue was superb! I observed Dana Schneider marching around the field with necessary authority keeping the events moving. Thanks Dana for a great racing event. The final party was great! Too bad I didn't have room for seconds on strawberry shortcake. John Drummond and I had been itching over the past year for a chance to do some pickin' and grinnin' together and we were finally able to pull it off in a corner at the final party. John's a durn tootin' good banjo player if you didn't get the chance to hear him play. Maybe next time, we can gather up some more instrumentalists for a great jam session. All in all, sky-high kudos to the TCUC organizing team and the many unknown others that enabled the rest of us to enjoy a fantastic week. Mary and I and the boys are already looking forward to the next reunion. Our encouragement goes to those who weren't able to be there this year to make plans for 2004. See you there!

I would also like to say Thank you to Cathy and Connie and everyone responsible for NAUCC 2003. We had a great time participating, watching, meeting new friends and acquiring new unicycle shirts. I rode my first ever 10k. Thank you all for the encouragement along the way. Thank you to everyone who took pictures and shared them by posting them in the Gallery. The event was wonderful and I hope to see everyone again soon.
