For those near Central Connecticut...

There is a trampoline-place-type deal in Glastonbury, CT that occasionally has open gyms.  For the most part they are a gymnastics-only business, but recently my friends and I have turned them on to the idea of skiers practicing there.  When I went in and asked about open gyms, the first thing the chick asked me (she was hott, too) was whether I was a skier.  The open gyms cost $10 for 2 hours, and the gym consists of trampolines and foam-pits.  I tell you this secondhand; I heard it first from BKCountrySkrMO2 (yes you hate him) but anyways it seems dope.  Its located near Smith Middle School in Glastonbury...hopefully I'll be able to provide phone number, address, etc later.

Just a friendly heads up :)

Sort of, depends on what you mean near.  Its probably like a half hour away (btw, there's alot of urban at UConn...have you seen my latest vid, haha).  Here's an attempt at posting a google maps pic.  If you can find anything on this map on a bigger map, you'll be golden.

Their exact address is 248 Eastern Blvd, Glastonbury, CT and their phone number is (860) 659-2200‎.  I dont' have their email yet but they have mine and should be contacting me about the open gyms.

i just called and joined their email list, they don't do a lot of open gyms but i'll be notified when they do their next one. they said they'll have another before the end of summer. i may just takes some trips from uconn if they're open during the week. i know some of you guys go to school there so we can all carpool or something

Alright, she emailed me back and told me that as soon as she found out when the next open gym is, she'd email me.  I'll pass it on to you guys.  I can't do mass messages here, so just check back once in a while to see...

Thanks guys, I'll be so stoked if this works out.

Alright, bad news though...I heard there was a limit on the amount of people that they'll be letting in.  I know for a fact that around 15-20 Gbury kids are already going, so I estimate that there will be about 5-7 extra slots...first ones to post should consider themselves in, having seen this too...kay.

Hmmmm...I guess some would go in and the rest of us would go hit urban! :)

Personally I'd rather do urban but this is a once in a while deal.  'Na mean?

He called me the other day, and told me that he'll eventually make a 100% recovery.  He's home now and will be in school within a week hopefully. 

I'm pretty stoked for him right now
