Who gets up at 6:30 am?

Who gets up at 6:30 am? On the East Coast? When she was on the West Coast less than 24 hours ago? Ugh.

Heading off to the fields early to help Sandie do some last minute setup (the No Parking signs needs to go up before anyone gets there and parks in the wrong place). I'm surprised at the number of people up already, though. S, the tournament TD is up ("The sun's not up yet!"). The head coordinator is up and already eating breakfast, as were a couple other players, it looks like. Crazy people.

Scobel and I talked this morning, getting a feel for each others' history. She's excited to be here, as Ben (her son) is playing at the tournament. She woke up at 3:00 am yesterday morning in an attempt to acclimate a bit to the time change (coming from Oregon). I made a face, but then she pointed out that it's the same as now anyway, and it's that early today.

Another "Ugh."

So, the advice I've heard about the tournament so far is:

  • Bring a hat, with a brim. The sun'll be brutal. Kate
  • Buy the VC Ultimate stuff early. Elizabeth
    Apparently that's where the good stuff is, and it sells out quickly, so no debating, just buy.

Let's see what I can get Kris from the tournament.

Hmph. It's 7:03 am. I was told to be here in the lobby at 6:54.75 am. I'm here. I was here at 6:51 (surprise! I was early!). No one yet. I wonder if I'm in the right place.
