Swat!

Oh, hey, I'm going up to Swarthmore tomorrow for a novice parliamentary debate tournament! Yeah, late to be mentioning it, but there it is!

Anyway, my laptop will be staying home, so expect only text-message Twitters between tomorrow morning and Saturday night. As for the format, Wikipedia's description of American parliamentary debate is mostly accurate.

See you Sunday!

Swarthmore, PA? I have an aunt who lives there. Nice place. Lots of old trees.

Glad to hear it! I like trees.

OH Sweet! Are you participating? Have you joined the debate team?? :)

Hope to participate! It'll be my first venture into the wonderful world of standing up and bullsh^H^H^H^H^H^Harguing for positions to an audience. It's a novice tournament, though, so nobody else should have more than a year's experience under their belts. :)

Awesome dude! Have major fun! Debate is sooo good for your brain.

If you do get hooked (yay adrenaline!), here is a good site for viewing practices.
