I went last year (it was in Haverhill last year). Some decent stuff, I grabbed a pair of poles for like $6, crazy lines though.

I won't be going this year as I'm committed to referee a fencing tournament in Western MA.

Wow....now that is an excuse! :wink: Almost as good as my line, "can't come, have a curling tourney I need to be at." I'm going to have to borrow this one!

Borrow away... but it's actually true for me.

I've been fencing since the summer of 2001... It slowly sucked up more and more time until it basically ruled my life. I'm trying to beat back the number of commitments I have for this winter as I want to get good use out of the pass I purchased, but I could spend every weekend day almost year round refereeing, running a tournament, or fencing...

This particular event is a scrimmage at Hampshire College, with UMass (my alma mater and where I started fencing), Smith, WPI, Mount Holyoke, and Williams.

All that said, I probably wouldn't bother going to the Building 19 event even if I didn't have the tournament, as last years selection wasn't anything I was looking for.

+1 I even got there early last year but didn't see anything worthwhile.
