Greetings fellow volunteers, judges, competitors, et al for USBC 2009. I'm starting this discussion for anyone who needs anything to compete. One of the best things about NERBC/MARBC was the sense of community and sharing. I could not have done it without the help of fellow competitors, judges, volunteers (and their grinders).

I'm traveling from CT but used to live in Portland, so, if you have questions about the city feel free to ask someone here (MM?), if you want to share equipment, or, don't know where to get something, ask again, if you want to know how easy it is to get from the Albina Press to Coffeehouse NW and back to Stumptown, just ask.
