Hey guys,

So, as mentioned in person at the end of the Manhattan Open, there are a few other such tournaments coming up soon within driving distance. If we split travel and hotel costs, they'd be very affordable to attend. I looked at hotel bookings nearby for a couple of them, and they averaged only $100 a night approximately. Split among multiple people it gets very cheap. The upcoming tournaments are as follows:

The 49th Annual Continental Open in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. (2 and a half hour drive from NYC). August 14th - 18th. (2 day schedule of 17th-18th)

51st Annual Atlantic Open in Falls Church Virginia (4 hour drive from NYC) August 23rd - 25th or 24th - 25th.

NY State Open, Albany New York (3 hour drive from NYC) Labor Day Weekend, August 31st - September 2nd or September 1st - 2nd.

The Hartford Open in Hartford Connecticut, September 21st-22nd. (2 hours drive from NYC)

There's also a tournament in Indianapolis starting August 23rd but that's a bit far for me.

And of course, there are other tournaments coming up after that but we can discuss those after these Summer ones.

So, who is interested in what? I'm a teacher on vacation so I could potentially go to all of them.

Also, other than Paul, does anyone else have a car?
