I'm agreeing with Tommy, definitely have 2 feet of snow right now. Just got back from a 6 hour shift at work too, so riding isn't exactly my top priority. But, if you look exactly 5 posts above where you asked "where is it?" the answer is there.
Before anyone says anything, I KNOW it's wayyy early. Tickets are cheap now.
My House:
Teehale is driving, that leaves 7 spots. From reading this thread and from outside knowledge I think this is the unofficial lineup for my house -
1) BK
2) Teehale
3) Miles Quirk
4) Tommy Napolitan
5) Nate Grant
6) Ryan Behlau
7) Tanner Markley
I've had so much fun on my Vermont, Ohio, and most recently California trips, I want to make this more focused towards that. I want this competition week to be more about riding than it has been in the past. When it gets dry out I will take pictures of all of the outdoor parks and spots that are available for us to ride.
For people I have mentioned above, let me know if you are 100% serious about coming whenever you can. Airline tickets are cheap NOW! Fly in date will be Monday July 6th, and fly out date will be Wednesday July 15th.
I just checked kayak.com (an AMAZING site, sign up) and got these round-trip rates:
San Diego, CA (SAN) to Buffalo (BUF) - $310 flying Delta
Newark, NJ (EWR) to Buffalo (BUF) - $179 flying Continental
Seattle, WA (SEA) to Buffalo (BUF) - $310 flying Delta
There is a possibility anyone who is thinking about staying in hotels could come too, make a big session week out of it. Sleeping room is really no problem, I'm going to be borrowing air mattresses around and we have tons of blankets and everything, it's just driving situation. If anyone thinks they may want to drive and help out, post here or contact me another way.
Again, sorry for trying to hype this up so early, but the time to do most of the planning is now, then we won't have to worry about it.

is there room for me dibbs? 
tickets for those dates you posted were pretty cheap, cheap enough that i could afford one anyway.

As of right now, no. I'm like 99% sure everyone besides behlau, tanner, and nate are coming. If they all tell me yes, and there is no one else driving... that is all that will fit.
I want to try to get into contact with Max Caldwell though. I think he said he was going to the competition this year, and I assume he would be driving. He has a Scion XB and if he wanted to stay here and help with the driving situation there might be room for more people at my place.
Yeahhh, everyone on that list let me know if you think you are coming or not as soon as possible.

Oh wow, thats cheap. Hopefully i can ride with Jordan Jasa
I need to know what everyone staying at my house thinks about banks jam too. If we don't do banks jam, it will be Monday the 6th-Wednesday the 15th. If everyone wants to do banks jam, it will have to be Wednesday the 8th-Thursday the 16th.
I definitely want to go to banks jam, but I don't see it happening unless pretty much everyone left my house before it. Me, teehale, and bk would have to roadtrip there together. She would look at all the people going with me as "her responsibility" and wouldn't be down, that's why it would have to be a smaller group. People she has met before multiple times, and trusts.
edit: I realized the above stuff doesn't really make sense.
Basically - I don't see the banks jam happening for people at my house. Too much driving in a short time and trying to get everyone to the airport and stuff, fitting everyone's luggage + scooters in the car.... just doesn't seem plausible.
I will be making a thread eventually though, most of my local stuff will be in there. Parks and Street. Anyone who has rides can come out and shred, and I'll probably put something together video wise, probably just a sweet trip video with everyone's riding in it. Nothing too complicated.

can anyone suggest a decent hotel in buffalo? it needs to be cheap.
Just find the cheapest one you can, and i'll probably know if it's sketchy or not.... depending on where it is. how would you get from your hotel to the park? if you have a way of transportation you could probably stay at my house... haha.

How old are you?
Do you have your own car?
