I know of a guy in Texas that is interested in getting into the games. I met him at a recent ren festival I was demonstrating at where he was one of the jousters. He has some great athletic abilities and showed some potential to be a good thrower (I let him try his hand at a small caber and tossing a weight) and he is a hell of a good guy. Anyone in Texas interested in giving him a few pointers?

It's a big state. Any idea where he lives?

Should be easy for him to get in touch with the highland games crew from TRF. That would be the closest crew of chuckers I could think of off the top of my head. Tom McLaughlin is a hellva nice guy, and his son Biscuit was a pretty good thrower last time I spent any time with them. Tell him to try there.

B ~up in DFW so no use to this guy~
