the Angie is coming home!
Angie's sabre' lame' has some dead spots. really worn spots in the metal threads, so it won't pass for competition use. There is a really big tournament next weekend CHAOS that her club is going to. So she needs a new one, and she's pretty sure her mask won't pass tech inspection either. Since she's hard to fit, and wants a different brand of lame' she needs to try them on so I can't order online and ship to her. Surprisingly the closest place to Philly that sells them for sabre's in an actual brick and mortar store where she can go try them is Absolute Fencing Gear in Bridgewater. They give 10% off to the club she belongs to up here so it's almost comparable to internet pricing. Since they are about 30-40 minutes from us, she decided to come home. So as her last Friday class ends at 1230, she will take the subway to the PATCO to the red river line? and I can pick her up in Trenton. Since it will take her 2 - 2 1/2 hours we should get to Trenton around the same time!

Wow I didn't know they were so strict...happy shopping :)
ReplyDeleteSabre' is touches are tracked electronically - then the director decides who had "right of way" and if you had right of way and the touch you get the point. So if she has dead spots and gets hit on the dead spot it won't record the touch.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't just take the SEPTA Regional Rail to Trenton? There's a stop at Temple at 1:56 p.m. and she'd have arrived at 3:03 p.m. - no transfers to worry about. And the train station isn't that far from her dorm.
ReplyDeleteBecause she suddenly got cheap, and her way spent less than $3...
