What: Kunming Hat 2009
When: February 7th and 8th
Where: Kunming
Why: Why the hell not?

Hello everyone! We here in Kunming are pleased to announce the first ever Kunming Hat. A weekend of good ultimate, good weather, good people and good times. Oh, the beer's pretty damn cheap, too. Escape the pollution and cold that plagues eastern China, western China, northern China, central China, and pretty much everywhere else in China that's not Kunming (we all know that Hong Kong isn't really China). Come enjoy some of that southern hospitality you've probably heard so much about.

The tourney fee is going to be pretty low, probably just around 300 kuai. That includes: tourney food at the fields both days, dinner on Saturday night, two free drinks at both parties (after the freebies, beers are only 10 kuai), beer and liquor at the fields, a tourney disc and a jersey. For accommodations we recommend staying at The Hump Hostel, as that is where the dinner and party on Saturday night will be. Dorm beds are 20-25 a night, while those who aren't on quite as tight a budget can spring for a double at about 50 kuai per night per person. Rooms at The Hump are limited and on a first reply first serve basis, so if you plan on attending please respond sooner rather than later.
